If there is more than one source transcription, PA converts the longest source transcription first, and so on. When two source transcriptions are the same length, the one occurring first in the list is converted first.

PA applies experimental transcription conversions before disambiguating Ambiguous Sequences.
PA does not support conversions of conversions. For example, to convert ph to p, write one experimental transcription, not the following two.
