word = "Almuta$r~id"
window = position = 5
shortAndOmit = "aiou+~"
rest = "_" * window + "".join(letter for letter in word
if letter not in shortAndOmit) + "_" * window
word = iter(word + "+")
for letter in word:
while letter not in shortAndOmit:
position += 1
print rest[position-window:position+window+1] + "_"
letter = word.next()
if letter in shortAndOmit[:4]:
print rest[position-window:position+window+1] + letter
elif letter == "~":
print rest[position-window:position+window+1] + "~" + word.next()
