# Old Norse Alphabet
Old Norse Alphabet & sorting in Python
### Motivation
Old Norse constains letters that may be hard to type with most keyboards. Prime examples being þ, ð and ǫ. There are also some letters "missing", like c and q. This package offers the alphabet & tricky individual letters as constants.
Also provides sorting function to get the old norse alphabet order just right.
### Install
`pip install old-norse-alphabet`
### Usage
The library offers Old Norse alphabet in lower/uppercases, and a function for sorting by old norse alphabetical order.
#### Sort
The crate exposes custom compare function for getting old norse alphabetical order just right. Compare function accepts two words to compare, so you can use cmp_to_key with sorted.
```python
from functools import cmp_to_key
from old_norse_alphabet.sort import old_norse_sort
words = (
"öðli",
"ógnan",
"æðrask",
"aðili",
"þakkan",
"áfir",
"á-auki",
"él-ligr",
"maðka",
"ef-lauss",
"œgir",
"áðr",
"maðr",
"madr",
"mæðr",
)
result = sorted(words, key=cmp_to_key(old_norse_sort))
print(result)
# "aðili", "á-auki", "áðr", "áfir", "ef-lauss", "él-ligr", "madr", "maðka", "maðr", "mæðr", "ógnan", "þakkan", "æðrask", "œgir", "öðli",
```
#### Alphabet
Alphabets are just immutable tuples of letters in ON alphabetical order with getter functions.
```python
from old_norse_alphabet import alphabet
# Both alphabets contain 34 characters.
upper = alphabet.get_upper()
lower = alphabet.get_lower()
# There is special list for characters that are valid as first letter.
valid_as_first = alphabet.get_valid_as_first()
```
Exposed special characters:
```python
from old_norse_alphabet import alphabet
print(alphabet.eth) # ð
print(alphabet.thorn) # þ
print(alphabet.o_caudata) # ǫ
print(alphabet.slashed_o) # ø
print(alphabet.ae) # æ
print(alphabet.oe) # œ
print(alphabet.ash) # Alternative export of AE
```
