aramaicMapper.Writing

Tuple for storing an Aramaic writing system:

• Consonants are expected to be in the standard Aramaic order.
• Vowels are expected to be in the Sedra a o e i u order + optional Eastern/Hebrew short E and long O in positions 6 and 7 respectively.
• Diacritics, if provided, should follow Sedra ' , _ * order. They are Qushaya, Rukkakha, Linea Occultans and Seyame respectively. Other diacritics like verb and homograph dots or Hebrew Sheva, if supported, should be added after the above.
• Optionally punctuation and other characters could be added for mapping.

The main idea is that each mapped character should be in the same position in the to Writing system as the from Writing system.

Kind: static class of aramaicMapper

new Writing(consonants, vowels, diacritics, punctuation, other)

aramaicMapper.Mapper

Map from a base writing system to another system. The optional mapCallback when called will be provided following arguments:

• word - the word to be mapped
• index - index of the current character to be mapped
• fromTo - character mapping hash from base Writing to mapped Writing

mapCallback needs to be provided only when the simple one to one mapping between writing systems is not enough, and custom mapping needs to be implemented instead.

new Mapper(fromWriting, toWriting, mapCallback)

mapper.fromWriting : Writing

Source writing system to be mapped

Kind: instance property of Mapper

mapper.toWriting : Writing

Destination writing system to map to

Kind: instance property of Mapper

mapper.fromTo : Object.<string, string>

Character mapping hash from base Writing to mapped Writing

Kind: instance property of Mapper

mapper.multiples : Array.<string>

Mapped multiple char sequences that map to a single fromWriting char. Used to move only 1 character ahead, instead of length of mapped string.

Kind: instance property of Mapper

mapper.map(word, wordProps) ⇒ string

Map word from a base writing system to another system

Kind: instance method of Mapper
Returns: string - mapped word

aramaicMapper.hasDotting(isDotting) ⇒ function

Returns function which returns true if input word has vowels or diacritics.

Kind: static method of aramaicMapper
Returns: function - hasDotting (word => boolean) function logic

aramaicMapper.clearDotting(isDotting) ⇒ function

Returns a function to remove vowels and diacritics and keep the consonantal skeleton only.

Kind: static method of aramaicMapper
Returns: function - clearDotting (word => word) function logic

aramaicMapper.getSort(letterAsciiMap, isConsonant) ⇒ function

Returns a function to be used for sorting words using the provided letterAsciiMap

Kind: static method of aramaicMapper
Returns: function - ((word1, word2) => number) function implementation

aramaicMapper.mapCallback ⇒ string

Kind: static typedef of aramaicMapper
Returns: string - the mapped string for c - could be longer than one character
