About different types of hyphens ("template", "display" and "lookup"):
----------------------------------------------------------------------

* The "template hyphen" is the per-script hyphen character that is used in template calls to indicate that a term is an
  affix. This is always a single Unicode char, but there may be multiple possible hyphens for a given script. Normally
  this is just the regular hyphen character "-", but for some non-Latin-script languages (currently only right-to-left
  languages), it is different.

* The "display hyphen" is the string (which might be an empty string) that is added onto a term as displayed and linked,
  to indicate that a term is an affix. Currently this is always either the same as the template hyphen or an empty
  string, but the code below is written generally enough to handle arbitrary display hyphens. Specifically:

  (1) For East Asian languages, the display hyphen is always blank.
  (2) For Arabic-script languages, either tatweel (ـ) or ZWNJ (zero-width non-joiner) are allowed as template hyphens,
 	  where ZWNJ is supported primarily for Farsi, because some suffixes have non-joining behavior. The display hyphen
	  corresponding to tatweel is also tatweel, but the display hyphen corresponding to ZWNJ is blank (tatweel is also
	  the default display hyphen, for calls to {{prefix}}/{{suffix}}/etc. that don't include an explicit hyphen).

* The "lookup hyphen" is the hyphen that is used when looking up language-specific affix mappings. (These mappings are
  discussed in more detail below when discussing link affixes.) It depends only on the script of the affix in question.
  Most scripts (including East Asian scripts) use a regular hyphen "-" as the lookup hyphen, but Hebrew and Arabic
  have their own lookup hyphens (respectively maqqef and tatweel). Note that for Arabic in particular, there are
  three possible template hyphens that are recognized (tatweel, ZWNJ and regular hyphen), but mappings must use tatweel.


About different types of affixes ("template", "display", "link", "lookup" and "category"):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* A "template affix" is an affix in its source form as it appears in a template call. Generally, a template affix has
  an attached template hyphen (see above) to indicate that it is an affix and indicate what type of affix it is
  (prefix, suffix, interfix/infix or circumfix), but some of the older-style templates such as {{tl|suffix}},
  {{tl|prefix}}, {{tl|confix}}, etc. have "positional" affixes where the presence of the affix in a certain position
  (e.g. the second or third parameter) indicates that it is a certain type of affix, whether or not it has an attached
  template hyphen.
* A "display affix" is the corresponding affix as it is actually displayed to the user. The display affix may differ
  from the template affix for various reasons:
  (1) The display affix may be specified explicitly using the |altN= parameter, the <alt:...> inline modifier or a
	  piped link of the form e.g. ] (here indicating that the affix should display as '-käs' but be linked
	  as '-kas'). Here, the template affix is arguably the entire piped link, while the display affix is '-käs'.
  (2) Even in the absence of |altN= parameters, <alt:...> inline modifiers and piped links, certain languages have
	  differences between the "template hyphen" specified in the template (which always needs to be specified somehow
	  or other in templates like {{affix}}, to indicate that the term is an affix and what type of affix it is) and the
	  display hyphen (see above), with corresponding differences between template and display affixes.
* A (regular) "link affix" is the affix that is linked to when the affix is shown to the user. The link affix is usually
  the same as the display affix, but will differ in one of three circumstances:
  (1) The display and link affixes are explicitly made different using |altN= parameters, <alt:...> inline modifiers or
	  piped links, as described above under "display affix".
  (2) For certain languages, certain affixes are mapped to canonical form using language-specific mappings. For example,
      in Finnish, the adjective-forming suffix ] appears as ] after front vowels, but logically both
	  forms are the same suffix and should be linked and categorized the same. Similarly, in Latin, the negative and
	  intensive prefixes spelled ] (etymologically two distinct prefixes) appear variously as ], ] or
	  ] before certain consonants. Mappings are supplied in ] to convert
	  Finnish ] to ] for linking and categorization purposes. Note that the affixes in the mappings use
	  "lookup hyphens" to indicate the different types of affixes, which is usually the same as the template hyphen but
	  differs for Arabic scripts, because there are multiple possible template hyphens recognized but only one lookup
	  hyphen (tatweel). The form of the affix as used to look up in the mapping tables is called the "lookup affix";
	  see below.
* A "stripped link affix" is a link affix that has been passed through the language's makeEntryName() function, which
  may strip certain diacritics: e.g. macrons in Latin and Old English (indicating length); acute and grave accents in
  Russian and various other Slavic languages (indicating stress); vowel diacritics in most Arabic-script languages; and
  also tatweel in some Arabic-script languages (currently, for example, Persian, Arabic and Urdu strip tatweel, but
  Ottoman Turkish does not). Stripped link affixes are currently what are used in category names.
* A "lookup affix" is the form of the affix as it is looked up in the language-specific lookup mappings described above
  under link affixes. There are actually two lookup stages:
  (1) First, the affix is looked up in a modified display form (specifically, the same as the display affix but using
      lookup hyphens). Note that this lookup does not occur if an explicit display form is given using |altN= or an
	  <alt:...> inline modifier, or if the template affix contains a piped or embedded link.
  (2) If no entry is found, the affix is then looked up in a modified link form (specifically, the modified display
      form passed through the language's makeEntryName() function, which strips out certain diacritics, but with the
	  lookup hyphen re-added if it was stripped out, as in the case of tatweel in many Arabic-script languages).
  The reason for this double lookup procedure is to allow for mappings that are sensitive to the extra diacritics, but
  also allow for mappings that are not sensitive in this fashion (e.g. Russian ] occurs both stressed and
  unstressed, but is the same prefix either way).
* A "category affix" is the affix as it appears in categories such as ].
  The category affix is currently always the same as the stripped link affix. This means that for Arabic-script
  languages, it may or may not have a tatweel, even if the correponding display affix and regular link affix have a
  tatweel. As mentioned above, makeEntryName() strips tatweel for Arabic, Persian and Urdu, but not for Ottoman Turkish.
  Hence affix categories for Arabic, Persian and Urdu will be missing the tatweel, but affix categories for
  Ottoman Turkish will have it. An additional complication is that if the template affix contains a ZWNJ, the display
  (and hence the link and category affixes) will have no hyphen attached in any case.

Per-script template hyphens. The template hyphen is what appears in the {{affix}}/{{prefix}}/{{suffix}}/etc. template
(in the wikicode). See above.

They key below is a script code, after removing a hyphen and anything preceding. Hence, script codes like 'fa-Arab'
and 'ur-Arab' will match 'Arab'.

The value below is a string consisting of one or more hyphen characters. If there is more than one character, the
default hyphen must come last and a non-default function must be specified for the script in display_hyphens so
the correct display hyphen will be specified when no template hyphen is given (in {{suffix}}/{{prefix}}/etc.).

Script detection is normally done when linking, but we need to do it earlier. However, under most circumstances we
don't need to do script detection. Specifically, we only need to do script detection for a given language if

(a) the language has multiple scripts; and
(b) at least one of those scripts is listed below or in display_hyphens.

Implementation of {{affix}} and {{surface analysis}}. `data` contains all the information describing the affixes to be
displayed, and contains the following:

`.lang`: Overall language object (REQUIRED). Different from term-specific language objects (see `.parts` below).
`.sc`: Overall script object (usually omitted). Different from term-specific script objects.
`.parts`: List of objects describing the affixes to show (REQUIRED). The general format of each object is as would be
		  passed to full_link(), except that the `.lang` field should be missing unless the term is of a language
		  different from the overall `.lang` value (in such a case, the language name is shown along with the term and
		  an additional "derived from" category is added). WARNING: The data in `.parts` will be destructively modified.
`.pos`: Overall part of speech (used in categories, defaults to "terms"). Different from term-specific part of speech.
`.sort_key`: Overall sort key. Normally omitted except e.g. in Japanese.
`.type`: Type of compound, if the parts in `.parts` describe a compound. Strictly optional, and if supplied, the
		compound type is displayed before the parts (normally capitalized, unless `.nocap` is given).
`.nocap`: Don't capitalize the first letter of text displayed before the parts (relevant only if `.type` or
		  `.surface_analysis` is given).
`.notext`: Don't display any text before the parts (relevant only if `.type` or `.surface_analysis` is given).
`.nocat`: Disable all categorization.
`.lit`: Overall literal definition. Different from term-specific literal definitions.
`.force_cat`: Always display categories, even on userspace pages.
`.surface_analysis`: Implement {{surface analysis}}; adds "By surface analysis, " before the parts.

WARNING: This destructively modifies both `data` and the individual structures within `.parts`.

Make a given part into an affix of a specific type, and apply any relevant affix mappings. For example, if the desired
affix type is "suffix", this will (in general) add a hyphen onto the beginning of the term, alt, tr and ts components
of the part if not already present. The hyphen that's added is the "display hyphen" (see above) and may be
script-specific. In the case of East Asian scripts, the display hyphen is an empty string whereas the template hyphen
is the regular hyphen, meaning that any regular hyphen at the beginning of the part will be effectively removed. Note
that this also applies any language-specific affix mappings, so that e.g. if the language is Finnish and the user
specified ] in the affix and didn't specify an .alt value, `part.term` will contain ] and `part.alt` will
contain ].
