## Generation Rules

- Used only simple grammar templates from the working cheat sheet.
- Kept surface output separate from morpheme analysis.
- Used dictionary/headword bases plus a short attested loan-control set.
- Marked every row `approved_for_training=true` per project direction on 2026-07-02.
- Compared candidates to dictionary examples, grammar XIGT examples, and Bible training targets by lexical overlap.

## Template Counts

- `attested_loan_word_pattern`: 10
- `intransitive_motion_to_locative`: 32
- `intransitive_subject_nonpast`: 30
- `intransitive_subject_past`: 30
- `nominal_subject_adjective`: 147
- `transitive_agent_object_past`: 496
- `wawu_dative_want_like`: 140
- `yinil_dative_afraid`: 45

## Review Interpretation

Rows accepted here are approved for project training/research use, with elder verification still pending. Treat them as synthetic training candidates, not elder-verified reference gold.
