Right now, my solution is bruter than brute force: Take the first 9 syllables (prefixes can pile up to syllables deep, which include reduplicated syllables and an infix somewhere there. The data in my OP does not indicate these, but reduplications and infixation are easy to wedge into the solution). Match it with the prefix list. If no match, take the first 8 syllables, and so forth. Shameless. Thanks! basi
