Smith vd has the same defect (family='', suffix='vd'). Both are the comma-less twin of #380, which fixed Berg, Jan vd → family='vd Berg'only for the comma form.
rules.md#P6's Accepted clause is false today
the attachment is scoped to the comma form, and the comma-less shapes keep their positional reading. "Jong Anke de" → family="de"
Measured, that holds for de and do and fails for mc and vd:
P6's own Accepted says the precedence "sweeps in every word that is both particle and suffix vocabulary — today vd, do and mc", so all three were in scope; only do behaves. The clause's only example is de-shaped, which is why no test catches it.
The cause is one missing vocabulary marking, and it is #342's cause too
SUFFIX_ACRONYMS_AMBIGUOUS is what gates S2's words-to-spare guard. The guard already exists and already works:
word
ambiguous?
two-token
three-token
ma
yes
Jack Ma → family Ma ✓
John Smith Ma → suffix Ma ✓
do
yes
Smith do → family do ✓
—
mc
no
Donald Mc → family '' ✗
John Smith MC → suffix MC ✓
vd
no
Smith vd → family '' ✗
John Smith VD → suffix VD ✓
rai
no
Aishwarya Rai → family '' ✗
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan → family Bachchan ✓
The three-token column is already right in every row — a genuine credential after a full name is never at risk. The bug is only where consuming the word empties the family, which is exactly what the words-to-spare guard exists to prevent. So this is #342 again with a different word, and marking mc/vd ambiguous should let the existing guard produce the wanted reading without touching John Smith MC.
Under decisions.md#vocabulary-collisions C-i's "under uncertainty, default to AMBIGUOUS", mc and vd arguably belong in that subset already: both are in NON_GIVEN_NAME_PARTICLES, so each is a name element in the position the credential claim acts on. And C-ii decided vd's collision in the particle's favour — a decision the comma-less case currently contradicts.
John van Mc already reads family='van Mc' — a particle chain ahead of it wins. Check the fix does not double up.
The differential will move.Donald mc is currently classified by fix(suffix-routing) a two-token name ending in a trailing credential acronym in the 1.4.0 ledger; once fixed it stops diffing that way and the rule needs narrowing or deleting, which the dormancy check will announce.
Jack M.A. stays as it is — decisions.md#ma-do gates the dotted spellings separately, and that reading is decided.
Kept separate from #342 deliberately: that issue is "rai should not be credential vocabulary at all", whereas mc and vd legitimately ARE credentials and the fix is the guard rather than the wordlist.
Found reviewing #453; recorded in decisions.md's "differential-ledger, the fields-only arc" section as a rules.md defect rather than a ledger one.
