To be fair, the problem at at Abegg's rule is due to the template being told that it is a single word. I suspect that having multi-word terms in these categories is at least party the result of implementing syllable counting in the IPA template without addressing the issue of how to divide an utterance into words- in some languages, that's not a simple task.

@Sgconlaw, Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV, Chuck EntzAbegg's rule had two issues: its pronunciation was indicated as if the term were just "Abegg's", and Module:IPA adds terms to "LANG #-syllable words" even if there are spaces or liaison marks (‿) in the pronunciation. I fixed both issues. As Chuck notes, checking for spaces won't work in languages like Thai that don't put spaces between words (or conversely, in Vietnamese, which puts spaces between all syllables). For these languages, either we can disable the categories or rename them (for these languages only) to "LANG #-syllable terms". Benwing2 (talk) 00:01, 11 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
