Fix a 43-year old bug in reciter where the unvoiced affricate/non-palate prefix doesn't correctly handle the 2-letter cases.
In the original 6502 code, there is a missing
DEXopcode and a missingLDA $8d00, Xopcode to load the previous letter into the accumulator, so the 2-letter test case will always fail as it compares the same letter both toH, and then later toC,T, andS.This means the rule
@(UR)#=UH4Rwill not correctly trigger on segments with the two letter preficesCHTHandSH, which is incorrect according to the NRL Report 7948 that the reciter rule set is based on.This fixes words like 'thurible', 'shuriken', and 'ashura' (and likely others) where without this fix they will be incorrectly pronounced as 'thyurible' 'shyuriken' and 'ashyura'.
