 - particles — `PARTICLES` (family-name particles, e.g. "de", "van") and `NON_GIVEN_NAME_PARTICLES`, the curated subset that is *never* a standalone given name (the particles whose word has no `given` reading, each stating `may_be_given = false`; a `given` reading on the word is what makes a particle possibly given, the phase 1 flag `may_be_given = true` refused since 2026-10-25). What the subset licenses is rules/P1's fold in `post_rules` (the "rule 1b" of older issue comments — decisions/legacy-rule-numbers maps the old numbers), and the fold has ONE site: the piece that OPENS the name. A lone never-given particle there, with at least one more name word behind it, starts the family. Titles do not move the opening position (rules/P4), so `Sir de Mesnil` reads family `de Mesnil` under every `name_order`, as `de Mesnil` does. How far the fold reaches depends on the order the name was read under: by default it takes the rest of the name (`de Mesnil Jean` → family `de Mesnil Jean`); under either family-first order it takes the particle run plus ONE name unit and lays the rest out by the order (`de Mesnil Jean` → family `de Mesnil`, given `Jean`); after a family comma it takes the rest of that part whatever the order (`Smith, de Mesnil Jean` → family `Smith de Mesnil Jean`). The leading particle stays a lone piece for the fold to find — `group` does not chain it forward, and the fold walks the particles after it itself — so `de la Vega` reads family `de la Vega` under all three orders. Behind a title-particle (`St`, `Freiherr`, P4's Except) it does chain, and under a family-first order the fold cuts that chain as it cuts a run (`St de Mesnil Jean` → family `de Mesnil`, given `Jean`, #828). The GIVEN position is not a site. It was a second one until #467, which removed it because under a family-first order that slot holds what the caller DECLARED to be the given name: `Mesnil de` under `FAMILY_FIRST` or `FAMILY_FIRST_GIVEN_LAST` reads given `de`, family `Mesnil`. Nor is a particle inside the name: `Juan de la Vega` under a family-first order reads family `Juan`, given `de la Vega`, with no ambiguity recorded — what the vocabulary forbids is the bare particle as a given name, not a name part that begins with one. A bare `de` has nothing to fold into and is placed by position like any one-word name: given `de` by default, family `de` under both family-first orders. A leading particle OUTSIDE the set is left to position — `Van Gogh` is given `Van`, family `Gogh` by default and family `Van`, given `Gogh` under both family-first orders — and records a `PARTICLE_OR_GIVEN` ambiguity under all three, save one written in lower case in a mixed-case name under a family-first order, which the fold takes and which records none (`van Gogh` → family `van Gogh`, rules/P11, #670); a never-given particle opening the name records none (`de Mesnil`), and neither does an ambiguous one inside it (`Vincent van Gogh`). The internal `Lexicon._sets.particles_ambiguous`, the particles holding a `given` reading, is its complement within `PARTICLES`, so the two mark OPPOSITE sets — see the flip warning in `docs/migrate.rst` before translating either
 - bound given names — `BOUND_GIVEN_NAMES` (`bound_given` readings, e.g. "abdul", "abu"; one that is also a particle needs a `given` reading, a build check); a group-stage rule joins the first non-title piece to its following piece before roles are assigned, reserving a family word unless a family comma has already fixed it or a given-name title stands ahead (#369, rules/P5) (ported from v1's `_join_bound_first_name`), and `BOUND_PHRASES` (#694, rules/P12, the two-word given names a bound word's `completed_by` lists, Arabic `عبد` before the names of God), each pair joined past the first name word, where P5's join does not reach

 - 2026-10-30 #959 — THE WORD O6'S GIVEN-NAME LIST LEAVES IS THIS RULE'S. rules/O6 now leaves a listed given name where it stands (decisions/O6's entry of this date), so with both switches on the middle it leaves is this rule's to take where it is the unit beside the given name: `José Luis Pérez` reads given `José Luis`, family `Pérez`, where with the list empty O6 takes `Luis` first and the name keeps one given name. Where the given part holds two units before it, this rule takes the first and the listed word stays a middle (`Ana María Luis Pérez`: given `Ana María`, middle `Luis`), so a name of four words reads two and two only where O6 took its third (found by the #959 design-docs review). Nothing in this rule moved; its precedence clause states the reading with an example. Whether this rule reads the list itself is Open above.
 - 2026-10-30 #753, phase 3g, decided in chat — NEITHER `es` NOR `pt` TURNS THIS SWITCH ON. ORCID cannot score it: its given box holds the middle names too, so the switch moves no record's agreement (0 fixed, 0 broken in every Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking country measured). PSC, whose form has a middle-name box, scores it against the filer's own split, and filers put the second given name in that box: under a `es` choice the switch alone takes Spanish filers from 31.8% to 15.7% (1 fixed, 980 broken), and beside `locales.ES`'s `two_family_names` from 82.0% to 54.7%; Portuguese filers fall from 61.1% to 28.5%. CLDR's `es` renderings read it right (the 2026-10-30 #704 entry, 6 → 8 of 8). The two sources disagree about a convention, not about a misreading, and the pack follows the boxes callers fill: a caller whose data writes the compound given name whole turns the switch on beside the pack. Recompute: decisions/O6's phase 3g recipe with `PolicyPatch(two_given_names=True)` added.

   - **The shape: a property on the word behind the particle.** The particle cannot carry it (`del` opens `del Carmen` and `del Río` alike), and the question is a vocabulary one (the 2026-10-30 entry's particle-chain bullet). Weighed: (A) a phrase reading (`text = "del carmen"`), most precise, telling Spanish `de la Luz` from Portuguese `da Luz`, but a third kind of phrase reading beside a birth marker and a given-addressing title; (C) a list the rule holds as a `Policy` field or `[rules]` key, vocabulary in `Policy` that no choice of languages or strict parser reaches; (D) O6's given-name list (`Lexicon.given_names`), no new data, but it would split `de la Cruz` (175 family boxes in ORCID against 38 given), `de León` (151 against 5) and `de la Rosa`, and is empty by default and has no Portuguese list. B was chosen: `after_particle = true` on a `given` reading, one word, compiled into the internal `PARTICLE_GIVEN_NAMES`. Its cost against A is a word whose phrase reads both ways by particle, which is left out (`luz`).
   - **The reach.** Given-first, no family comma (a comma, and both family-first orders, already read `Silva, Maria do Carmo` given `Maria do Carmo` through the middle path), the given name one word with no middle between it and the chain, the chain opening with particles and then the marked word, and a name word left after them for the family, one with a letter that is no connective standing alone (a family of particles alone never reaches the path: assign leaves a trailing particle the family by itself, the phrase a middle, found by the second #1057 review), and no Turkic marker behind the phrase under that rule, as for the middle path (both found by the #1057 review: `María del Carmen y` and `Ali del Carmen oglu` had moved): `María del Carmen` alone keeps family `del Carmen`, as `Juan Carlos` keeps family `Carlos`. A given name of two words (`María-José del Carmen García`) keeps what it has, and a middle between leaves the chain to the family, this rule taking that middle instead (`Ana María del Carmen García` reads given `Ana María`). With rules/O6 on too, O6 leaves the phrase where it stands (decisions/O6, this date), so `María del Carmen de la Vega` reads given `María del Carmen` with both on, where the 2026-11-03 #959 entry in decisions/O6 recorded family `del Carmen de la Vega`; and the family the split leaves keeps its chained words as one unit, so `María del Carmen García López` gives no `surname2` (accepted in the rule).

Left out: no Portuguese-speaking word reaches the bar (`carmo` 21 to 6, `rosário` 21 to 8, `conceição` 25 to 25, `fátima` 32 to 4, which the Spanish counts carry, 27 to 1); unaccented `jesus`, 203 to 16 in Spanish-speaking countries but 67 to 41 in Portuguese-speaking ones; `luz` (12 to 6, and Portuguese `da Luz` 4 to 5), `dios`, `paz`, `cruz`; and two that pass by count but are no compound given name, `c.` (an initial) and `piero` (Italian `del Piero`, 10 to 0). The Catalan phrases (`dels Àngels`, `de les Neus`, `de la Mercè`) barely occur, so no Catalan word is marked. The PSC register agrees where it can, its filers putting `del Carmen` in the middle-name box 21 times and the surname box 2, `del Mar` 11 and 0, `del Pilar` 10 and 1. `dels` stays out of `ca.toml` (the reason void since decisions/P10's 2026-11-04 entry, which holds the question Open): the property moves nothing with the switch off, so a `dels` particle would still move `Maria dels Àngels Puig` from middle `dels Àngels` to family `dels Àngels Puig` by default (the #704 comment of 2026-10-31).
