Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Give the credentials their languages (part 1 of #751)

The 605 credential readings in und.toml move to en.toml, and fourteen
to de.toml: the German parliamentary memberships and StB alone, and
BA, BSc, MA, MSc, MEng, MBA and LL.M. beside en.toml, on #18's
evidence that German names carry them. The rai/cha/mai refusals move
with them. No compiled set moves; the snapshot matches.

und.toml's vetting comments become fields: the case-mask block is
`excluded = { cased = ... }` on meng, edd, lac and ded, ba gains the
note that earned its marking, abd's credential half becomes expands
and a note, and the class-level ambiguity block, already held by
decisions/suffix-acronym-collisions and rules/S1/S4/S6, is gone.

-- `meng` (MEng) and `edd` (EdD) are conventionally mixed-case credentials and listed acronyms, and must not get a mask while the map stays role-free: a mask applies in every role, and both are borne as given names or surnames. Measured 2026-09-24 with each mask added to a private lexicon: `MENG LI` gives `MEng Li`, `meng wang` gives `MEng Wang`, `edd smith` gives `EdD Smith` and `EDD KIMBER` gives `EdD Kimber`, where the shipped map and every release give `Meng Li`, `Meng Wang`, `Edd Smith` and `Edd Kimber`. The same holds for two sweep candidates, `lac` (LAc, Licensed Acupuncturist; `Lac` is a Vietnamese given name — the trailing word in native order, `Nguyễn Văn Lạc` — and a French surname; corrected 2026-09-25, #540, from "a Vietnamese and French surname") and `ded` (DEd; `Ded` is an Albanian given name, `ded gjo luli` giving `DEd Gjo Luli` under the mask). A writer who spells one mixed-case keeps it (decisions/R5, 2026-09-24); a caller who wants the mask adds it to a private lexicon. A NOTE on `SUFFIX_ACRONYMS` itself, which this map does not decide. The two name-word collisions there come from two bulk additions, not one: `lac` (with `edd` and `ded`) from the Wikipedia post-nominals import, `af5bdab` (2019-12-11, #93), and `meng` from `3e14ea20` (2026-07-01, the German/Dutch title and degree batch, first shipped in 1.3.0). Both read as a suffix after a given name, and lose a family name to it (superseded 2026-09-25 by #540: both words are marked ambiguous, `wang meng` reads family `meng` and renders `Wang Meng` — see #suffix-acronym-collisions). Measured 2026-09-24 on the released wheels, the parent 4d0680e6 and this tree: `wang meng`, `li meng` and `zhang meng` read family `meng` on 1.4.0 and suffix `meng`, with no family, on every release from 2.0.0; and since #521 on master the suffix renders `Wang MENG` (parent and tree alike), where 2.3.0 gave `Wang Meng`. `nguyen van lac` reads suffix `lac` with family `van` on every release from 1.4.0, and since #521 renders `Nguyen Van LAC` where 2.3.0 gave `Nguyen Van Lac`. This is a #vocabulary-collisions C-i question about the acronym set, not about this map.
+- A listed credential borne as a name gets no mask while the map stays role-free: a mask applies in every role, so it re-spells the name wherever the word is one. MEng, EdD, LAc and DEd are conventionally mixed-case credentials and listed acronyms, and each is borne as a given name or surname (Meng, Edd, Lac, Ded). A writer who spells one mixed-case keeps it (decisions/R5, 2026-09-24); a caller who wants the mask adds it to a private lexicon. The per-word refusals are data since #751 (2026-10-20): each word carries `excluded = { cased = … }` on its credential reading in en.toml, its reason the rendering measured with the mask added to a private lexicon (`MENG LI` giving `MEng Li`, 2026-09-24; `lac`'s on 2026-09-25), and `uv run python tools/vocab/query.py --excluded cased` lists them; a contributor who adds one of the masks meets the reason as a build error. Where `meng` and `lac` stand in SUFFIX_ACRONYMS itself, a #vocabulary-collisions C-i question this map does not decide, is #suffix-acronym-collisions' #540 entry. `lac`, `edd` and `ded` arrived with the Wikipedia post-nominals import (af5bdab, 2019-12-11, #93) and `meng` with 3e14ea20 (2026-07-01, the German/Dutch title and degree batch).

   - **Gender** follows part 1's rule. The man's title of a noble pair is marked (`count`, `baron`, `graf`) as `king` is, and so is a `-man` word whose `-woman` pair the list holds (`businessman`); a descriptive noun beside its `-ess` form marks only the feminine (`actress`, `heiress`). `sultan` records none, Ottoman usage having given it to imperial women too (its note in tr.toml).
   - **Comments became fields.** The #269, #343 and #344 block comments over the native-script titles are notes on one entry of each group (the Hebrew quote-boundary probe on `ד"ר`, the Bengali doctor split on `ড`); `duke`'s one-line keep-out is an exclusion in en.toml with its counts; the notes part 1 left on `lord`, `lady`, `venerable`, `rabbi` and `imam` moved with them. The readings `und.toml` shares with a moved title, all credentials (`cpl`, `cpo`, `cpt`, `csm`, `lt`, `md`, `ra`, `sa`, `sgm`, `vc`, and `ms` from part 1), sit in a section of their own, as #749's did.

+- **2026-10-20 #751 — the credentials given their languages (part 1 of #751).** No compiled set moves: `tools/vocab/build.py --check` reports the committed module current, and `tools/differential/snapshot.py` matches. The 605 credential readings in `und.toml` on a0edfeda left it, so `und.toml` holds no suffix reading, and the three credential refusals (`rai`, `cha`, `mai`) went with them to en.toml.
+  - **English holds all but seven.** 505 of the 605 came from one import (af5bdab, 2019, #93), the United States post-nominal letters of two Wikipedia lists, and most of the rest are British and Commonwealth honours and degrees, from the list's first versions and #7; all of these are in en.toml. Recompute the provenance with `git blame -w 6803a261 -- nameparser/config/suffixes.py`, the last commit before the TOML.
+  - **German names hold fourteen.** #18 (3e14ea20) added the German parliamentary memberships (`mdb`, `mdl`, `mda`, `mdbb`, `mdep`, `mdhb`) and `stb` (Steuerberater) for German names; they are in de.toml alone, with `expands`. The same batch added `ba`, `bsc` and `meng` for German degree holders, and #18's test data writes BA, BSc, M.Sc., M.A., M.Eng., MBA and LL.M. after German names, so those seven are in de.toml beside en.toml. A degree goes to a file on evidence that names in that language carry it, which is why no credential went to mul.toml: the Bologna degrees are written after names in most European languages, but the evidence in hand is German.
+  - **A behavioral property travels to every file, a descriptive one stays on one.** Check 5 holds every behavioral property of a word's suffix readings to one value in every file, `cased` among them, so the de.toml readings repeat `may_be_name` and `cased` (check 7's "at most one `cased` per word" counts values, not files); the `note`, `expands` and `issue` of the English reading stay in en.toml, and each German reading cites #18.
+  - **Comments became fields.** und.toml's block over the ambiguous credentials was class-level — the criterion is decisions/suffix-acronym-collisions' and decisions/vocabulary-collisions' C-i, the reading rules/S4 and S6, the bracket escape rules/S1 — and is gone, its per-word facts already notes on `ms`, `sa`, `se`, `om`, `mc`, `vd`, `meng` and `lac`; `ba` gained the note that earned its marking. The block over the case masks became `excluded = { cased = … }` on `meng`, `edd`, `lac` and `ded`, each with the rendering a mask would cost (decisions/vocabulary-exclusions' CAPITALIZATION_EXCEPTIONS block keeps the class-level part), and the credential half of `abd`'s comment became `expands` and a `note` on its en.toml reading.
+  - **`mc` sorts as a credential now.** An entry sorts under its earliest kind and `credential` precedes `clan`, so en.toml's `mc` left `mac`'s side for the credential block, its `same_as` kept.
+  - **Recompute** rather than quoting: `uv run python tools/vocab/query.py --kind credential --file en --count`, `--kind credential --file de`, `--kind suffix --file und --count`, `--excluded cased`.

-# (SUFFIX_ACRONYMS_AMBIGUOUS)
-# Suffix acronyms that also commonly work as given-name nicknames on

-# acronym's bare reading (rules/S4) and by the delimited-content
-# escape (content matching one of these stays a nickname, the more
-# common reading in ambiguous, delimiter-only context). _classify
-# also tags membership as "vocab:suffix-ambiguous".
-#
-# When adding a credential acronym, set may_be_name = true on its
-# reading only if the exact letter sequence could plausibly be someone's name on its
-# own -- a given name or nickname (e.g. 'jd', 'ed') or a common
-# surname (e.g. 'ma', 'do'). Unambiguous certifications/degrees
-# (e.g. 'mba', 'cpa', 'phd') don't need the flag. In 2.0 the flag
-# also gates bare recognition: a bare ambiguous acronym reads as
-# the credential only with words to spare in front of it, or
-# written in capitals inside a mixed-case name; inside a
-# mixed-case name any other cased form that is not wholly lower
-# ('Ma', 'MEng') reads as the name even with words to spare --
-# rules/S4 and rules/S6. The parse reports the fork where it decides one,
-# so 'Jack Ma' keeps its family name.
-#
-# The other half of the criterion, added 2026-09-07 with #342.
-# Being borne at all is only the entry ticket; what decides among
-# the three answers is a comparison of FREQUENCIES -- how common
-# the word is as a borne name in the TRAILING position against how
-# common it is as a credential. Roughly balanced earns the marking
-# here, and the parse reports the fork: 'ba' is the entry that
-# earned it that day, BA being a common credential and Ba a real
-# surname (Vietnamese; Senegalese Fula) about as common as the
-# credential, which is the ma/Ma shape exactly. Where the NAME
-# reading dominates, the entry is REMOVED from SUFFIX_ACRONYMS
-# instead of marked: 'rai' and 'cha' left the set that day, both
-# far more common as surnames than their credentials are as
-# credentials (RAI is "RETA Authorized Instructor", CHA is
-# Certified Hotel Administrator or Certified Healthcare Auditor,
-# both tenuous or specialized; Rai is a common surname across
-# Hindi- and Bengali-speaking regions and Cha the Korean 차).
-# Where the CREDENTIAL dominates, the entry stays unambiguous.
-# LENGTH is a correlate and not the test -- a short acronym is
-# more often a common credential AND more often a name -- so do
-# not read the letter counts here as a rule. #540 (2026-09-25)
-# marked 'lac' and 'meng', the first entries here longer than
-# two letters: MEng and LAc are credentials people write after

-# R.A.I.", "John Smith R.A.X." and "John Smith C.H.A." all read
-# suffix, the vocabulary playing no part (checked 2026-10-19). A caller who needs an entry back
-# adds it -- Lexicon.default().add(suffix_acronyms={"cha"}) --
-# which is the answer this library gives for every
-# locale-specific vocabulary. The cost is stated and accepted:
-# with the entry gone, "John Smith RAI" reads family 'RAI'. See
-# decisions/suffix-acronym-collisions.
-#
-# NOT 'ms' or 'sa', though #296's audit table put them here for the
-# leading-title collision (bare "Ms" the honorific, "M.S." the
-# degree): the gate is position-blind and the collision is not.
-# Gated, 'John Smith, MS' lost its suffix-comma route and read
-# title 'MS', and 'Smith, Ms.' passed the gate on its one period
-# and read as a credential anyway. Both words are genuine duals --
-# title and unambiguous suffix -- and position decides, as for
-# 'sr' and 'lt' (decisions/C8).
-#
-# NOT 'se' or 'om' either, weighed 2026-09-07 with #342 and left
-# alone: no surname evidence worth standing behind, and OM is the
-# Order of Merit. And NOT 'mc' or 'vd', which are also PARTICLES:
-# #454 closed by design -- neither is a borne name, so a bare
-# trailing one is the decoration, and rules/P6's Accepted
-# clause names them as the two words whose positional reading
-# does not hold.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Keep ma, msc, mba and llm in en.toml alone

#18's test data puts those degrees beside one name, John Meyer, which
#18 calls international degrees rather than German names, so it is no
evidence that German names carry them. de.toml keeps the ten
3e14ea20 added for German names; the decisions entry cites the commit.

 - **2026-10-20 #751 — the credentials given their languages (part 1 of #751).** No compiled set moves: `tools/vocab/build.py --check` reports the committed module current, and `tools/differential/snapshot.py` matches. The 605 credential readings in `und.toml` on a0edfeda left it, so `und.toml` holds no suffix reading, and the three credential refusals (`rai`, `cha`, `mai`) went with them to en.toml.
   - **English holds all but seven.** 505 of the 605 came from one import (af5bdab, 2019, #93), the United States post-nominal letters of two Wikipedia lists, and most of the rest are British and Commonwealth honours and degrees, from the list's first versions and #7; all of these are in en.toml. Recompute the provenance with `git blame -w 6803a261 -- nameparser/config/suffixes.py`, the last commit before the TOML.
-  - **German names hold fourteen.** #18 (3e14ea20) added the German parliamentary memberships (`mdb`, `mdl`, `mda`, `mdbb`, `mdep`, `mdhb`) and `stb` (Steuerberater) for German names; they are in de.toml alone, with `expands`. The same batch added `ba`, `bsc` and `meng` for German degree holders, and #18's test data writes BA, BSc, M.Sc., M.A., M.Eng., MBA and LL.M. after German names, so those seven are in de.toml beside en.toml. A degree goes to a file on evidence that names in that language carry it, which is why no credential went to mul.toml: the Bologna degrees are written after names in most European languages, but the evidence in hand is German.
+  - **German names hold ten.** #18 (3e14ea20) added the German parliamentary memberships (`mdb`, `mdl`, `mda`, `mdbb`, `mdep`, `mdhb`) and `stb` (Steuerberater) for German names; they are in de.toml alone, with `expands`. The same commit added `ba`, `bsc` and `meng` among its "German title/degree suffixes", so those three are in de.toml beside en.toml. A degree goes to a file on evidence that names in that language carry it, and a commit adding it for that language's names is such evidence. #18's test data is not: its degree rows put BA, M.A., M.Sc., MBA and LL.M. beside one name, John Meyer, which #18 itself calls international degrees rather than German names, so `ma`, `msc`, `mba` and `llm` are in en.toml alone. No credential went to mul.toml for the same reason: the Bologna degrees are written after names in most European languages, but nothing in hand shows which.
   - **A behavioral property travels to every file, a descriptive one stays on one.** Check 5 holds every behavioral property of a word's suffix readings to one value in every file, `cased` among them, so the de.toml readings repeat `may_be_name` and `cased` (check 7's "at most one `cased` per word" counts values, not files); the `note`, `expands` and `issue` of the English reading stay in en.toml, and each German reading cites #18.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Keep the seven international degrees in en.toml alone

3e14ea20 added ba, bsc and meng from #18's "John Meyer" test rows only
because the list lacked them; ma, msc, mba and llm rest on the same
rows. #18 calls them international degrees, not German names, so none
of the seven is German evidence. de.toml keeps the German
parliamentary memberships and StB. The README's dated count follows.
