Syllabifying words

Create a LatinString by associating a string value with a specific alphabet class.

Example: the Latin23Alphabet alphabet uses 23 alphabetic characters (no “j” or “v”).

import edu.holycross.shot.latin._
val latString = LatinString("conuocare", Latin23Alphabet)
assert(latString.s == "conuocare")

Syllabifying a LatinString creates a Vector of string values.

val syllables = latString.syllabify
assert (syllables.size == 4)

It’s fun to use scala’s handy collection methods with Vectors of strings.

val syllabicString = syllables.mkString("-")
assert(syllabicString == "con-uo-ca-re")
