How the Decomposition Works
1. Slot Identification
The engine maps each morpheme to one of 9 positional slots: PreInitial, Subject, Tense, Object, Root, Extension₁, Extension₂, FinalVowel, Locative.
2. Tonal Assignment
The 5-step pipeline assigns H/L tones to each mora based on lexical tones, Meeussen's Rule, melodic patterns, spreading, and OCP cleanup.
3. Record Generation
The complete record includes surface form, slot decomposition, tonal analysis with rule provenance, and English gloss.
