[BRLTTY] Contraction errors: stringent, astringent

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi all,

Stringent (and astringent) should use the i-n-g sign even though this 
crosses a syllable boundary. In the appendix titled "Typical and Problem 
Words" in the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing, astringent's 
entry is given as:

as-trin-gent a/r+5t

(Too bad they didn't include Lucknow. :-)

Here are other examples from my Web-Braille collection:

 /r+5t >e !y2 9violate !y % be4 ,if at
 wd 2 "u r a /r+5t yoke1 b my he>t &
