I map these thirteen single letters to uppercase:
a b e j l m o p r u v w y -> A B E J L M O P R U V W Y
These four already-uppercase letters remain unchanged:
D H I S -> D H I S
I map the apostrope to uppercase Z.
' -> Z
I map two digraphs to single characters:
ch -> C, gh -> G
The remaining six letters get mapped with numeric suffixes to make the
sort order come out right:
n -> N1, ng -> N2, q -> Q1, Q -> Q2, t -> T1, tlh -> T2
