Amend elision rules for Irish/Manx/Gaelic
Brought to you by:

Irish (ga), Scottish Gaelic (gd) and Manx (gv) for which we're developing dictionaries require a tweak to the existing elision rules. I'll use a verbose explanation to make sure I get it right, I'm not that great with code :/
The three languages above have items like the following:
t- before vowel initials and s: t-athair, t-àm, t-sròn
h- before vowel initials: h-athair, h-àm
n- before vowel initials: n-athair, n-àm
dh', b', m', d', t' plus vowel initials and fh initials:
dh'athair, dh'fhalbh, b'fhéidir, b'urrainn, m'fhocal, d'fhill, t'fhacal, d'imigh, d'áirigh
d' before th: d'thàinig
I think that's all of them - trawling through all the emails.
Thanks Michael,
Let me just add that on the core side the elisions followed by vowels are working (both for apostrophe or hyphen), the remaining issues are with the elisions that are followed by one of the consonants, i.e. s, fh or th.
You mean with the workaround or without? If I type "t-athair" in the test version you sent me, it comes out as "t'athair" though? But I'm probably just misreading you.
