"""Parser for ASJP (Automated Similarity Judgment Program) language pages.
ASJP provides Swadesh-list transcriptions in a custom phonetic encoding
(not IPA). The encoding maps special digits/symbols to IPA-like sounds:
3 -> ʃ, 5 -> ts, 7 -> j, 8 -> ɬ, etc.
Downloads and parses an ASJP language page to extract the ~40-item
Swadesh-list entries with their ASJP transcriptions and glosses.
