This repository contains a re-write and working implementation of theCAPR interface and backend for reconstructingProto‑Burmish (Lolo‑Burmese branch). It accompanies the Zenodo record:

• Knights, Seth; Gong, Xun; Hill, Nathan W. (2022).Materials for an Etymological Dictionary of Burmish 2.0. Zenodo. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.6617027

• server/ — Python/Flask API for CAPR
• cognate-app/ — Svelte interface for cognate reassignment and FST editing
• pipeline/ — Wordlist → tokenized lexicon → initial cognate discovery (LingPy/LingRex)
• reconstruct/ — Initial FSTs used by the pipeline
• orthoprofiles/ — Orthographic profiles for pipeline stages

Notes on setup and run below paraphrase the Zenodo page for 10.5281/zenodo.6617027.

1. API

   cd serverexport FLASK_APP=serverflask run# API on http://localhost:5000

2. Interface

   cd cognate-appnpm inpm run dev# UI on http://localhost:8080

Installlibfoma0 andlibfoma0-dev (Linux). Some distro versions (e.g., 0.9.18) can yield uncaught FST compilation errors. If that affects you, build a recent version from source.

Linux build from source (example):

wget https://github.com/mhulden/foma/archive/refs/heads/master.zipunzip master.zipcd foma-master/fomamakesudo make install

Old_Burmese → burmese.binAchang_Longchuan → ngochang.binXiandao → xiandao.binMaru → maru.binBola → bola.binAtsi → atsi.binLashi → lashi.bin

• API:gunicorn server:app (e.g.,:8000)
• UI:npm run build && npm run start (:8080)
• Reverse proxy: e.g.,Caddy
