Okay, let's see. For the lexurgy commands, I want to be able to input a word list either from the src directory or the build directory, and it needs to output to the build directory. For consistency, I want both lists to have a suffix in the filename, so to get tup working, it's going to need to do a little string processing on for both input and output, in some fashion. Not sure offhand how well tup takes to that, but oh well.

The src directory also needs to maintain a mapping from ancestral words/phrases to modern definitions, so there can be a parallel list that puts all of those in the same order.

A big part of what I have in mind is going to literally just be "here are two files; cat them together and write the result to the build directory".

That said, I think what I need to do to try this out is to write ports of the Lexurgy examples. I just cloned a repository for one of them, but my feeling about what I want to do right now is "We were back on the road today, so I'm going to go lie down early".

Good night.
