# Transforms Amharic (am) to Amharic in phonemic IPA transcription (am_FONIPA).
#
# Long vowels, long/geminated consonants:
#     In the direction from am_FONIPA to am, we emit Ethiopic gemination
#     and vowel length markers (U+135D, U+135E, U+135F) although
#     they are rarely written in Amharic text. Exceptions include
#     school books and textbooks for non-native speakers.
#     Clients who do not want these markers can easily strip them off
#     in a post-processing step.
#
# Labialization:
#     Amharic speakers will usually say ሟ as [mʷa] instead of [mwa];
#     labializing [m] instead of saying [m] followed by a separate [w].
#     Most Amharic consonants can get labialized. To keep the phonemic
#     transcription simple, we emit /m/ + /w/; otherwise, our phoneme
#     set would almost double, and it would include very unusual phonemes
#     such as /ɲʷ/ or /t\u0361ʃʼʷ/.
