First character of key

First character of ALGEBRA is A
Use this as our key

EV → AF else A, E, I, O, U → A

Zero instances of EV in LGEBRA
Move on to next step.

1 instance of the letter E in LGEBRA
Our translation becomes LGABRA
Zero instances of I in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of O in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of U in LGABRA
Move on to next step.


Q → G, Z → S, M → N

Zero instances of Q in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of Z in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of M in LGABRA
Move on to next step.


KN → N, K → C

Zero instances of KN in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of K in LGABRA
Move on to next step.


SCH → SSS, PH → FF

Zero instances of SCH in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of PH in LGABRA
Move on to next step.


H →

If previous or next is non-vowel
Use previous

W → If previous is vowel, A.

Zero instances of EW in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of IW in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of OW in LGABRA
Move on to next step.

Zero instances of UW in LGABRA
Move on to next step.


Add current to key

If current ≠ last key character
(remove duplicate letters).
No duplicate letter patterns
Move to next step

If last character is S, remove it.

Our word does not end with S
move to next step


If last characters = AY, use Y.

Our word does not end with AY
move to next step


If last character is A, remove it.

LGABRA translates to LGABR

Append translated key to value

From step 3 (removed first character)
