Read the Armenian Տեր as a title at the head and part of the surname inside the name (#1225) - #1320

Closes #1225.

What changes

Տեր is two things in Armenian names:

• a cleric's title, used for a married priest and also for a bishop (Տեր Հուսիկ Լազարյան);
• the spaced form of the Տեր- surname prefix (Զավեն Տեր Եղիյան).

It takes the three readings freiherr has (rules/P4's Except, a title-particle): a religious title, a rank particle, and a given reading. The given reading carries only the particle's may-be-given default and moves no parse; it follows freiherr's precedent.

What moves

• Armenian Wikipedia's people (2026-11-10): all 10 names writing Տեր as a word of their own move, each to the reading it means: 5 clergy, 3 spaced Տեր- surnames, and 2 transcribed Dutch ter.
• Corpora: 1 of 7 names moves, Լևոն Տեր Պետրոսյան in jrc-names, from middle Տեր to family Տեր Պետրոսյան. The committed corpora don't move.
• Snapshot: gains only the two new P11 examples.
• Reports: the given reading moves no field in a 2,220-parse grid. 96 of those parses gain a particle-or-given report, in exactly the places freiherr reports.

Name matching

Matching moves mostly because the parse does: the spaced surname is now read whole as the family name.

• Keys. One change comes with no parse move: a hyphen half that is a listed particle is no key, so Լևոն Տեր-Պետրոսյան loses տեր;լ. On master, every hyphenated Տեր- surname with that initial shared that key.
• Opt-out settings. Verdicts move as they do for any listed particle. Without particles-aside, the bare-surname pair becomes inconsistent; without one-side, it becomes consistent.
• Tests. tests/v2/test_match.py pins the outcomes, the key set and the default verdict. Each check fails with the three readings removed.
• match_diff.py --base against 86650d1, with the test file's two Տեր pairs in its draw: 8,211 of 654,444 rows move, every one holding a Տեր name.
  • All 21 verdict moves go from inconsistent to consistent: the Մարկոս pair under 19 of the 21 settings, and the Լևոն pair under -part-of-other and -one-side.
  • No consistent pair is left without a shared key.
  • The bare-surname move under -particles-aside isn't in the draw, so I measured it with Matching directly.

Accepted costs

These are recorded in decisions/salutation-titles. Each shape was misread before this change too.

• A spaced Տեր surname written first with no comma (Տեր Եղիյան Զավեն) is the clergy shape word for word, so it reads the title.
• A title before the spaced surname joins the title run (Պարոն Տեր Պետրոսյան gives title Պարոն Տեր), as Mr. Freiherr von Berg does.
• Armenian Wikipedia writes the hyphenated Տեր- 235 times and the spaced form 8 times, 5 of those the clergy title.

Rules

rules/P11 (a lowercase particle opening a family-first name) gains a Precedence bullet against P4's title-particle. A title-particle opening the name reads as the title, its title reading taken first: freiherr von Berg Hans and տեր Բրաաք Մենո under FAMILY_FIRST both read the title. This was already true of freiherr; the rule now says so.

Review

The design-docs reviewer ran twice: once on the change and once on each fix commit. Every finding is fixed:

• the report count and where the reports fall;
• the matching section's claims (a third pass);
• the title-run cost;
• P11's missing Precedence bullet;
• a 1.4.0 claim.
