To repeat:

echo flaku+N+Pl+Gen|lookup -q src/generator-gt-norm-dial_Por.xfst
flaku+N+Pl+Gen flakkuin

But twolc test gives:

flak0u>i2>n
flakku>i>n
f
l
a
k
0:k
u

i2:i

n
REJECTED: "Gemination 0:k" in nonfinal state 139

Then I change rule "Gemination 0:k" from
[.#.|#:] Cns:* Vow:+ k _ u %> [:u|:i (%> n) # ] ;
to
[.#.|#:] Cns:* Vow:+ k _ u %> [:u|:i (%> n) .#. ] ;

and then the opposite happens: Twolc test works, but the fst test fails.

We definitely want to give priority to the fst, but still it is a bit uncomfortable that the test fails.

Both xfst and hfst work, and we talk about Por (it works for all hufkv):
echo flaku+N+Pl+Gen|hfst-lookup -q src/generator-gt-norm-dial_Por.hfstol
flaku+N+Pl+Gen flakkuin 0.000000

Fixing something that works is of course not our top priority, but the misbehaviour may conceal other errors.
