Thank you for the review! I finally had a chance to sit down with this
again and I'm attaching an updated patch that also includes one input
mode added to the latin-prefix file.

I added the NEWS entry, but I apologize, I wasn't able to determine
which ChangeLog I should be adding to. I tried to format my commit
message as documented in the CONTRIBUTE file.

Good to know the docstrings still follow two spaces after a period, I
believe I've got them all sorted now

I added a comment, I'd be glad to know if there was a better way to
insert these combining character literals. This proved to be the best
way I could come up with to keep the input mode simple.

The White Hat orthography doesn't add diacritics to vowels. I added a
table in the docstring to show the intended use of the combining marks
for the consonants. I hope that makes it a bit clearer.
