I think anything that's in the dictionary should work right. Things not in
the dictionary, such as people's names or weird abbreviations, don't need to
be fixed.
Perhaps excepting if there's a pattern. I can't think offhand of a word
starting with "Belv" that isn't pronounced "bell v...". Brltty uses the b-e
sign which is wrong, but since these aren't generally dictionary words I
don't know whether we need to bother.
Lucknow, on the other hand, is in the dictionary; but if someone were to
coin a word "lucknowledgeable" we could safely ignore them.
