It doesn’t help if you keep adding more requirements...
Even though it would be a nice challenge for a Sunday afternoon, I have other plans, so try to figure it out on your own.

Trial and error is very useful.
Experiment !
(but always keep a copy of the original in case things get messed up (which they will)).

Backtrack is the sequence of glyphs before the actual contextual input, and lookahead is what comes after it.
Say you only want to replace "f" "i" with a "fi" ligature if it precedes with and "i" and "c" "e" after it, then it would trigger the substitution tables if you type:
magnificent
but it would not proceed if you type:
artificial
In this case
backtrack: "i"
input: "f" "i"
lookahead: "c" "e"
substitution table: ligature "f" "i" -> "fi"
