To prove that the morphology is unambiguous, one would have to write
an algorithm that accepts an idealized representation of a speech
stream and decomposes it into a sequence of words. The algorithm would
not be able to consult a dictionary to do so.

If you're interested in working on this, I'd be interested in hearing
about it.

Nora also noticed that Pierre (phma) has his own effort at a wordbreaking algorithm, "valfendi" on github. We are not sure where it fits relative to brkwords put probably was later, though preceding whatever was incorporated in camxes (one of the attempted post YACC parsers which IIRC tried to handle speech streams)
