phonological_features.py
========================
Defines the 35 phonological features from Table 1 of Shahin et al. (2025)
and provides the phoneme-to-feature mapping for the 39-phoneme CMU set.

Feature categories (paper Table 1):
  Manners: consonant, sonorant, fricative, nasal, stop, approximant,
           affricate, liquid, vowel, semivowel, continuant
  Places:  alveolar, palatal, dental, glottal, labial, velar, mid, high,
           low, front, back, central, anterior, posterior, retroflex,
           bilabial, coronal, dorsal
  Others:  long, short, monophthong, diphthong, round, voiced

The model output has 71 nodes: 35 (+att) + 35 (-att) + 1 (shared blank).
