// morphology-ang.el - Old English (Anglo-Saxon) morphology for the NLG engine.
//
// Implements Old English verb conjugation, noun declension, and the definite
// article/demonstrative pronoun. Designed as a companion to morphology.el and
// called by the engine when the language profile code is "ang".
//
// Language profile: code=ang, name=Old English, morph_type=fusional,
// word_order=SOV, question_strategy=intonation, script=latin, family=germanic.
//
// Typology note: Old English is a synthetic Germanic language with four
// grammatical cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative), three genders,
// and strong/weak noun and verb classes. Strong verbs form their past tense by
// internal vowel change (ablaut); weak verbs use a dental (-de/-ode) suffix.
// Long vowels are marked with a macron (ā ē ī ō ū) and are preserved in all
// string literals; ǣ, æ, þ, ð, and ƿ (wynn) are used where historically
// appropriate. V2 (verb-second) word order applies in main clauses but is not
// enforced by this module the realizer handles constituent ordering.
//
// Verb conjugation covered:
// Tenses: present, past
// Persons: first/second/third × singular/plural (slots 0-5)
// Classes: weak (regular -ian), strong irregular table
// Irregulars: wesan/beon (be), habban (have), gān (go), cuman (come),
// secgan (say), sēon (see), dōn (do), willan (want), magan (can)
// Canonical map: "be" -> "wesan" (past) / "beon" (present)
//
// Noun declension covered:
// Strong masc a-stem (cyning pattern): nom/acc -, gen -es, dat -e; pl -as/-a/-um
// Strong neut a-stem (word pattern): sg same as masc; pl nom/acc -∅
// Weak n-stem (nama pattern): sg nom -a, obl -an; pl -an/-ena/-um
//
// Article: simplified demonstrative/article forms for masculine, feminine,
// neuter (se/sēo/þæt), fully declined.
//
// Depends on: morphology.el (str_ends_with, str_len, str_slice, str_eq)
// String helpers
