It seems like this analysis would be improved it could factor in the fact
that someone can probably guess what MONOGENH/S means even if they had never
seen it before. More generally, compound words whose primary meanings are
more or less the sum of the meanings of their parts could be considered
known if their parts are known. Given the large number of compound words
that are understandable in this manner, not taking this into account would
seem to prevent the analysis from being realistic. Is this something that
you try to take into account?

I agree with you Eric, in as much as the compound words go. I come across,
in my learning of NTG vocabulary that I guess many of these words correctly.
I'm learning from flashcards, and I'll pull out a new section to learn and
every so often, I see a compound word, I guess just by knowing each of the words
within the compound.
Honestly it's a joy when that happens for me.
Grace and peace,
Jim Montesano
