Should مرحوم and شهید be status readings? (رضایی، حسن (مرحوم) gives nickname مرحوم) #1336

24 of the 315 Assembly of Experts names end (مرحوم) ("the late") and 4 end (شهید) ("martyr"), measured 2026-11-08. Each reads as a nickname today. The Expediency Council decrees also write مرحوم in front of the name (مرحوم حجت الاسلام ...).

Listing مرحوم as a plain title was tried in #1331 and pulled: it moved رضایی، حسن (مرحوم) from nickname to title. he.toml lists ז"ל ("of blessed memory") as a status reading, which reads as a suffix whether bracketed or not.

Questions

• Are مرحوم, شهید and Arabic المرحوم status readings, so that رضایی، حسن (مرحوم) reads suffix?
• What reads the leading form? rules/S2 (a suffix word ends a name and never opens the string) has no place for it. Is it a title there, or a suffix allowed to open the name?

What to measure: the decrees' leading مرحوم and the Assembly of Experts' bracketed ones, with and without a title beside them.

Follows #1151.
