    026 * Encodes a string into a NYSIIS value. NYSIIS is an encoding used to relate similar names, but can also be used as a
    027 * general purpose scheme to find word with similar phonemes.
    028 * <p>
    029 * NYSIIS features an accuracy increase of 2.7% over the traditional Soundex algorithm.
    030 * <p>
    031 * Algorithm description:
    032 * <pre>
    033 * 1. Transcode first characters of name
    034 *   1a. MAC -&gt;   MCC
    035 *   1b. KN  -&gt;   NN
    036 *   1c. K   -&gt;   C
    037 *   1d. PH  -&gt;   FF
    038 *   1e. PF  -&gt;   FF
    039 *   1f. SCH -&gt;   SSS
    040 * 2. Transcode last characters of name
    041 *   2a. EE, IE          -&gt;   Y
    042 *   2b. DT,RT,RD,NT,ND  -&gt;   D
    043 * 3. First character of key = first character of name
    044 * 4. Transcode remaining characters by following these rules, incrementing by one character each time
    045 *   4a. EV  -&gt;   AF  else A,E,I,O,U -&gt; A
    046 *   4b. Q   -&gt;   G
    047 *   4c. Z   -&gt;   S

    051 *   4g. PH  -&gt;   FF
    052 *   4h. H   -&gt;   If previous or next is nonvowel, previous
    053 *   4i. W   -&gt;   If previous is vowel, previous
    054 *   4j. Add current to key if current != last key character
    055 * 5. If last character is S, remove it
    056 * 6. If last characters are AY, replace with Y
    057 * 7. If last character is A, remove it
    058 * 8. Collapse all strings of repeated characters
    059 * 9. Add original first character of name as first character of key
