Should the spaced آیت الله and حجت الاسلام read as titles, with والمسلمین and العظمی after them? (آیت الله حسن رضایی gives given آیت) #1334

parse("آیت‌الله حسن رضایی"), written with a ZWNJ, reads title آیت‌الله. The same name written with a space, parse("آیت الله حسن رضایی"), reads given آیت, middle الله. So does حجت الاسلام. Written with no ZWNJ and no space (آیتالله) it reads as a name word too.

In the Guardian Council and Expediency Council sources (measured 2026-11-08), 4 of 26 Ayatollah names are spaced, and 4 of 5 Hojatoleslam names (spaced, beside 1 with a ZWNJ). Listing a two-word entry does not work: neither آیت nor الله is a title alone, so nothing reads it. rules/H9 (the title phrase) attaches is the route.

The qualifiers والمسلمین ("and the Muslims", 3 times, and و المسلمین with a space 3 times) and العظمی ("grand", in آیت الله العظمی) are written after their head word, and attaches was designed for a qualifier before its head. حجت‌الاسلام والمسلمین حسن رضایی currently gives given حجت‌الاسلام, middle والمسلمین حسن.

Questions

• Do the spaced and no-ZWNJ spellings ship as phrases through attaches, or as same_as spellings of the ZWNJ word?
• How does H9 read a qualifier after its head? Chargé d'Affaires is the existing shape.
• Does و المسلمین with a space ship too?

What to measure: the stacked shapes the source writes, آیت الله جناب آقای حاج شیخ حسن رضایی and آقای دکتر علی رضایی.

Follows #1151; the Persian titles themselves landed in #1331.
