# `il -> il s`, `uous -> uou s`. analyze() checks SUPPLEMENT before
# INFL/peel_oov; loads LATE so keep-whole overrides those collisions.
f"{MORPHEMES}/atomic_more.tsv", # words kept ATOMIC by hand even though a split is morphologically
# possible, because the pieces are not semantically related enough
# (`business`, `aboard`). Bare-word format. Loads LATE to override
# any earlier split; SUPPLEMENT also beats INFL in analyze().
f"{MORPHEMES}/ambiguous.tsv", # words that CANNOT be split because the split is genuinely
# ambiguous: `leaves` = leaf+s (noun) OR leave+s (verb), so forcing
# either reading throws away information -> keep atomic. Bare-word
