[split] Merged words across lines

[-JKP-]

I agree with MarcoP.
Untill more evidence comes to light, i think we can put simple word-breaks-across-lines on the shelf.
Summary:  Are vords  broken across lines? -- Probably not.

We have to keep in mind that lines with line-breaks when the columns are wide (as they are in the VMS) are going to be less frequent than unbroken lines. There might only be two or three (or none) per paragraph. So, proportionately, we are less likely to find line-broken patterns that match in-line patterns.

And there are two other issues... padding, and marker symbols like the diagrams I posted just above.

Maybe we could say, for now: "Assuming there is no filler text at the ends, and assuming there are no line-end-marker symbols at the ends, VMS vords are probably not broken across lines."
