<div dir="ltr">The reason it's in the {boQwI'} database is because
there are several users who use it to read KLI mailing list

just a normal word that people expected it to be analysed.</div>

<p>Much better would be if people seeing <b>yaDpach</b> would look
it up and find no entry at all. The meaning would be clear: it's
not a word.</p>

<p>Which just goes to show the level of confusion this non-word has
caused, when one of the people arguing against it has been using
it himself. If charghwI' doesn't recognize a non-word when he uses
it, what chance does a new student have?</p>

<div>{boQwI'} isn't only a lexicon but a grammar and word

<p>But most people don't understand that. No matter how many "not
canonical"s and question marks and asterisks you add to it,
someone who looks up <i>toenail</i> and finds <b>yaDpach</b>
isn't going to look at the fine print... or if they do, they'll
say, "But I need this word, and here is boQwI' offering it to me."<br>
