[BRLTTY] Contraction errors and patch: Horse

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi all,

Here are several Horse words I came across recently. Most of them have
no examples in my particular collection of Web-Braille books:

A van for transporting nine horses could be called a nine-horser and
should end with an er sign. See Dick Francis, Driving Force. (In other
words, it's a real word though admittedly very rare.)

A bathorse is a pack horse that carries an officer's baggage during a
campaign. (In other words, I never heard of it either...)

Finally some with examples. Clotheshorse should not use the sh sign:

clothes-horse clo!shorse        ;,c--c#e
           clo!shorse--3ci}ge       #fii
 clo!shorses1 /1m+ sli<tly 9 w>m air4
i/s & clo!shorses .par .excellence7
 clo!shorse80 %e ask$4 8,if y ne$ a

Horsed should use the ed sign:

 ,ea* "o hors$ on a bag ( b"os4
 space-suit$ /ud5ts hors$ ! lock+ r+
 5ds1 & we'll get ? mon/} hors$ >.d
ea* "o ( !m hors$ & a# 6h&le a full
