Field notes
The page separates hand-checked “official” entries from a lookup that can coin a form when no dictionary entry matches. Its rules specify cuts at syllable ends, a consonant stop, and a recognizable root; short words (four letters or one beat) remain intact. A sentence-shortening mode is also presented, though the extracted page does not expose example outputs for that control.
