ja: read fractions in Japanese word order - #2
Conversation
A fraction of two numbers is read denominator-first in Japanese: 21/22 is "22 分の 21". The seeded rules emitted numerator, 分の, denominator, so the tests were asserting that 21/22 is spoken as 22/21. That is a meaning change, not a wording preference, so the rule and its test move together. Reference: 山口雄仁・川根深・澤崎陽彦, 日本語による数式読み上げ法の基本構成に ついて, 日本数学教育学会誌 78(9), 239-247 (1996), item (4): when numerator and denominator are both plain numbers, use ordinary Japanese word order (denominator 分の numerator); otherwise keep the written order and say 分数 A オーバー B 分数終了. Following that split: - common-fraction (both mn, no decimal separator) now says 分母 分の 分子. The English range limits (numerator < 20, denominator 2..10) existed because English only has ordinals for small numbers; Japanese has no separate ordinal form to build, so the pattern is uniform and ToOrdinal is no longer used here. - the remaining fraction rules keep the written order and now say オーバー rather than 分の, which would otherwise claim the opposite order. - ClearSpeak's general fraction said 分子 との 分数 ... デノミネーター; it now uses the same 分数 ... オーバー ... 分数終了 frame. - 分数終わり -> 分数終了, matching the terminology of the reference (and the 根号終了 / 上付き終了 markers that will follow). Also in this file: per-fraction said パーカー, which is a hooded sweatshirt. "5 meters per second" is 5 メートル 毎 秒.

Preserve the EndFrac termination marker for numeric fractions.
When $ClearSpeak_Fractions='EndFrac', this rule matches the fraction but ends after the numerator. It does not emit 分数終了. Large numeric fractions therefore lose the required termination marker after this change.
Add the same conditional marker used by the other EndFrac rules, and add a regression test.

Update all duplicated common-fraction predicates.
common-fraction accepts 3/128, but the EndFrac exception and all four nested-* exponent rules still require a numerator <20 and denominator 2..10. As a result, 3/128 can fall through to default-exponent-power and lose the special square/cube wording. The stale EndFrac predicate can also add 分数終了 incorrectly. Mirror the new numeric definition and add regressions for all four nested exponent shapes and the EndFrac case.

The previous commit widened common-fraction, but ClearSpeak copies that predicate in five other places: the EndFrac test inside fraction-over-simple (twice, for numerator and denominator) and the four nested-* exponent rules that ask whether the base is a common fraction. Left alone, 3/128 would count as a common fraction where it is spoken and not count where those rules look, so the two would disagree. The copies now use the same test: both children are mn without a decimal separator. The English range limits (numerator < 20, denominator 2..10) are gone for the same reason as before -- they bound what English has ordinals for, and Japanese builds no ordinal form. No wording changes here; the phrasing of the exponent rules themselves is a separate change.

First of the small PRs promised in daisy#715. It fixes the one item in the seeded Japanese that changes the meaning of the maths rather than the wording.
The problem
simple_fractionasserted 21/22 → 「21 分の 22」. In Japanese 「A 分の B」 is B/A — the denominator is spoken first — so the seeded rules and the seeded test agreed with each other that 21/22 should be spoken as 22/21.The rule I followed
If numerator and denominator are both plain numbers, use ordinary Japanese word order (denominator 分の numerator). Otherwise keep the written order and say 分数 A オーバー B 分数終了. Katsuhito Yamaguchi is behind ChattyInfty / InftyReader, the math TTS actually used by blind students in Japan.
