All true. I just pulled a typical boo boo on the {-wI'}, and
debated about loSmaHDIch. Technically, it is chuvmey, so the
rules about adjectivals is not clearly in force, but
functionally, it is adjectival, so I go both ways here,
sporadically either leaving the Type 5 on the noun or moving it
to the ordinal number.

If you think this is clearly as it should be, I'll be more
consistent about moving the Type 5.
