Which unlisted words that open a name with a period should the vocabulary list: Sen., Ku., Sk.? #1129
#1115 listed the titles and abbreviations that open a name with a period, in four batches (#1117, #1119, #1121, #1123). This issue carries forward the candidates those batches didn't reach. Counts are #1115's, distinct names in the 15 local corpora and the committed corpora whose first word is the word with a period, measured 2026-11-06 against dd2650ef.
Others: Ku. 11 (Nepali Kumari), RR. (Javanese Raden Rara)
Given names written short (a given reading with same_as, as Chas. takes since #789): Sk. 18 and Sh. 5 (Sheikh), Kh., Th., Ph., Jan.
A surname head:Mt. (Gregory G. Mt. Pleasant reads middle Mt.). Measured 2026-11-06 on 9cdc64bc: only 6 corpus names write Mt. with its period, and reading it as a particle moves 1 of them, a gain. Bare Mt/MT is something else: initials (Andri MT Lubis) or a slip for Mr (Mt Adam Nadeem, 48 PSC names), and a bare particle reading moved 79 names, all wrong. So a reading would have to require the period, which no particle does today.
Decided out, not to reopen without new evidence:Eng., Er., Doc., Ven. and Em. are borne as names (decisions/H6's 2026-11-06 second-batch entry). Mo. is mostly the Chinese and Korean name (decisions/H6, #1117).
Each word needs its bearers checked (tools/name_usage.py <word> --boxes, tools/vocab/word_report.py --rank) before it's listed. Most of these are rare enough that a word with any real bearers should stay out: with its period, each already reads as a title by rules/H2's shape where it opens a name.
