Modified edit-distance matching missing some edits or has suboptimal weighting algorithm

[aarppe]

The following is a selected set of test strings for which the weighted edit matches sometimes work and sometimes not [+: expected behavior; -: unexpected behavior; *: fixed - UPDATED on 11.1.2023]:

+ mitsiw -> + mîciw
* micow -> * mîciw
* mitsow -> * mîciw
+ neeyu -> + niya, + niyâ
* neeyuh -> * niya, * niyâ
+ nigi-nidawi-wapamaw -> + nikî-nitawi-wâpamâw
* nigi-nidawi-wabamaw -> * nikî-nitawi-wâpamâw
* nibaw -> * nipâw
* nohte -> * nôhtê-
* nohte- -> * nôhtê-
+ mitâs -> + mitâs
* nitâs -> + nitâs, * mitâs [not linked to lemma `mitâs`] 
* nitas -> - mitâs, * nitâs [neither result]
* mitas -> * mitâs

Also, in principle, the edit-weighting should be such that the following ranking should result:

ewapamat -> ê-wâpamat < ê-wâpamât (1 edit less)

Here's most of the above being run through and recognized by a descriptive FST with a weighted spell-relax:
