Research direction

Compare the unicode and unicode-full YAML files first, then trace the program that swaps their contents to understand how it handles duplication. Confirm the intended placement of duplicate entries and how the speech engine represents “lambda”; done means the duplicate data is removed from unicode-full.yaml and the pronunciation is correct.

Description

rules

It looks like there is duplication in the unicode-full and unicode files. But that's for another day (feel free to get AI to find the duplication and remove it -- typically it should go away in unicode-full.yaml. There is another issue to swap around what goes where. I'm not sure if the program that does that handles duplication well.

AI says that it is written as "lambda" but it sounds more like "lam-da" (as in English). Hopefully the speech engine does this correctly.
