Description
Neither of the current romanization methods are fully reversible.
Effort seems to have been put towards making to_kunrei reversible, even though this forces it to not strictly follow the Kunrei scheme:
to_kunrei:
ち -> ti
てぃ -> texi (should also be 'ti')
(See "ティーム" vs. "チーム", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunrei-shiki_romanization)
A reversible method is a useful thing to have, however:
- The current function probably should be named differently because it doesn't follow the Kunrei scheme exactly (how about "reversible", or "romkan"?)
- The current to_kunrei function is nearly there, but still not perfectly reversible:
to_kunrei:
ぢ -> dyi
でぃ -> dyi
The Hepburn function is also not reversible, but this is a known property of the scheme.
to_hepburn:
ず -> zu
づ -> zu
