What this does not establish

Not a scholarly review; no human sign-off is recorded for this form.
A machine rule list is not proof the derivation is traditional.
Attestation here means the form occurs in a bundled passage, not that the passage uses it in this sense.
Curated teaching forms are beginner-safe choices, not a complete paradigm.
