I don't know what your are asking for as this (your latest AWK) is not
just an implementation of the metaphone algorithm.  With the extra
Levenshtein test it "texas" matches only a few words.

As for my Metaphone take... In fact it is. Several Metaphone variants
use Levenshtein & can be any mixture of three types of Metaphone
versions further still, or even a mix. Seems that's the way it is
in the wild...

There are certainly variants (and developments of the original) but I
thought you were implementing the same algorithm as the code you
referenced.  Sorry for the confusion.
