Lingua...rammar(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Lingua::EN::NameGrammar — bestie, this is the grammar tree for Lingua::EN::NameParse. That's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

(You'll see the page header render it all squished as Lingua...rammar(3pm) — it's the same girl, she's just in her abbreviated era 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Okay so these are internal functions, meaning you don't call them yourself — they get called from the NameParse.pm module. Not me gatekeeping, that's literally just the architecture 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It's giving… a grammar tree of personal name syntax for the Lingua::EN::NameParse module. Periodt.

The grammar defined here is meant to be used with the Parse::RecDescent module. 🦋

Heads up, bestie, this part is important: parsing here is done depth first, which means it matches the shortest string first. So to dodge premature matches — when one rule is a subset of another, longer rule — that shorter rule has to show up after the longer one. Otherwise she'll snatch the match too early and the whole thing is a mess 😭

No cap, go read the Parse::RecDescent documentation for more details on this. It's the source of truth, I'm just the messenger 🫶
