Thank you, Roger. Yes, of course matchstick uses both the st and ch - I hadn't
thought of that example earlier. I just ran it through Duxbury and the st
contraction is used. So with the case of Birchstar, the st should be used as
well, however Duxbury seems to want to treat this one differently. ☺
Is it possible for the DBT programming experts to look at this situation to
determine why DBT omits the st in Birchstar?
Thanks.

No, I believe it must be an error, at least in UEB, because it is perfectly
tovalid to write a word like "matchstick" in UEB with both the ch and st
contractions used.

Hello, Everyone,* * *
In my proofreading, I have come across the name Birchstar which has
the letters "st" uncontracted. I ran this in Duxbury with both the UEB
template and the pre-UEB (former EBAE code.)
I cannot understand why the contraction for "st" would not be used in
Birchstar. Is there something which prevents usage of the "ch" and "st"
contractions being used in a consecutive sequence?
Can anyone please shed light on this for me?
Many thanks.
