Finite State Acceptors - Abun Pattern
The format for the acceptors below is start states, final states, and transitions.
The labels indicate the syllable weight and level of stress.
For example, w0.s2 means a syllable of weight 0 with primary stress; w1.s1 means a
syllable of weight 1 with secondary stress and so on.
