[BRLTTY] Contraction error: benefit

[Dave Mielke]

[quoted lines by Lee Maschmeyer on 2006/08/08 at 09:04 -0400]

>In contrast to "benevolent" which uses the b-e sign, "benefit" should use 
>the e-n sign. Ain't it fun?

The rule, as with "renegade", must be that the first syllable is emphasized,
uses a shrot e, and isn't the "be" prefix. 

I have my doubts that the word "benefic" is being contracted correctly at the
moment. Right now it's using "en" rather than "be". If my guess is correct as 
to what the rule is then this would be wrong.
