Abstract
This paper discusses the reconstruction of the Elamite language's phonology from its orthography using the Gradual Learning Algorithm, which was re-purposed to "learn"underlying phonological forms from surface orthography. Practical issues are raised regarding the difficulty of mapping between orthography and phonology, and Optimality Theory's neglected Lexicon Optimization module is highlighted.
