cva[22], gaee[14] and np[18] came into SUFFIX_ACRONYMS with the 2019 bulk import from Wikipedia (af5bdab). The bracketed number is the source page's footnote mark, copied along with the acronym. The migration spike for the 3.0 vocabulary spec found them. Removing them now means the TOML files never have to carry them.

What moves: only a token written with the footnote mark itself. John Smith NP[18] read suffix NP[18] and now reads family NP[18].

• np and cva already have clean entries, so John Smith NP and John Smith CVA still read as suffixes.
• gaee never had a clean entry. John Smith GAEE reads family GAEE before and after. Whether to add a clean gaee is a separate vetting question and is not part of this PR.

Checks:

• tools/differential/snapshot.py: matches the snapshot.
• cldr_agreement.py: matches its records.
• uv run pytest: 21465 passed, 123 skipped, 3 xfailed.
• ruff and mypy: clean.
• No other vocabulary entry contains a bracket. The recompute line is in the new bullet in decisions/suffix-acronym-collisions, which also says where the entries came from, so a future bulk import is checked for brackets.

No release-log bullet: no real name reads differently.
