[BRLTTY] Try again: Contracted English braille error and patch: Bottlenose

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi all,

The attached patch fixes bluenose, bottlenose, saddlenose and tubenose. 
These are easy and safe since they're compound words; blue, tube, etc. are 
words in themselves and thus I think should not participate in contractions.

Dave suggested adenose and venose. I can't find any uses of these in my 
braille books and the dictionaries I've checked don't have syllabification. 
However, it's OK to use a contraction when going from an unaccented syllable 
to an accented one or the other way around, so I think the en sign in these 
words would be correct.

The one that has me puzzled is Brasenose, one of the colleges in Oxford. It 
used to be called Brazen Nose if that's any help. I don't know how it's 
pronounced, but it seems to be going from an accented to an unaccented 
syllable so my guess is that the en sign would be right.

HTH,
