will.anderson a816b119e7 stage(elp): consolidate scattered lang work — full-lexicon vocabulary + profiles
Backfill ELP vocabulary from FULL lexicons (UniMorph + kaikki.org Wiktionary,
real gender/inflections) for 8 languages, 812,894 entries total, in the proven
seed-fn format matching the 18 ancient vocabularies:
  es 72,032 | fr 130,517 | de 144,692 | la 22,590 | it 193,675 | pt 115,772 |
  ro 86,504 | ca 47,112
4 of these (es fr de la) backfill ELP languages that had morphology but no
vocabulary; it/pt/ro/ca are new Romance (need morphology-*.el ports next).
Adds lang_profile_* for all 8 + reproducible generators under tests/lang-gen.
Vocab is runtime seed data (not in build manifest, like the 18 ancients);
seed-fn format validated to compile to C via elc.

# ELP language consolidation — full-lexicon backfill (stage)
Branch: `stage-elp-lang-consolidation` (stage-bound; NOT the live soul :8742).
Consolidates scattered Python language-realizer work (`~/Desktop/lang-realizers`,
`~/Desktop/lang-poetry-experiment`, `~/semitic_engine`) into the ELP `.el`
structure, generating **full lexicons** (complete UniMorph + kaikki.org
Wiktionary — real gender, real inflections) instead of the demo/curated subsets
the prototypes shipped.
## ELP before this branch
- 18 classical/ancient languages fully done (vocab + morphology + tests):
akk ang cop egy enm fro gez goh got grc non peo pi sa sga sux txb uga.
- 11 modern/classical languages had `morphology-<code>.el` in the build manifest
but **no vocabulary and no lang_profile**: es fr de ja ar he hi ru fi sw la.
- The ES port (`stage-elp-es-port`) had a *demo-scale* vocabulary-es.el (~350
entries, s-expr form).
## Landed on this branch (full-lexicon seed-fn format, matching the 18 ancients)
Vocabulary schema per row: `[lemma, pos, form0, form1, form2, en_gloss, hint]`.
Files are ELP runtime **seed data** (loaded via the Engram at runtime), so — like
all 18 classical `vocabulary-*.el` — they are intentionally NOT in the build
manifest. Syntax validated: the chunked `fn vocab_<code>_seed_pN` format
compiles cleanly to C via `elc` (correct UTF-8).

Generators (reproducible): `elp/tests/lang-gen/gen_elp_seed_full.py` (Romance),
`gen_elp_seed_de_la.py` (German declension + Latin case-paradigm mapping). They
read the pre-built morph caches in `~/Desktop/lang-realizers/data/` (UniMorph +
kaikki), which are too large to commit.
## Remaining (honest)
Of the 11 ELP backfill targets, 4 are done (es fr de la). The other 7 have **no
full-lexicon engine** yet — cannot be generated honestly without engine work:
- **ru**: only a 110-entry curated Slavic subset exists; full `rus.unimorph`
present but no `morphology_ru_full` productive loader. Needs a full Russian
morphology module (like the Romance ones) before vocab generation.
- **ja / ko / zh**: validated demo engines (~66-104 hardcoded words) in
`lang-poetry-experiment`, Python only. Agglutinative (ja/ko) + isolating (zh)
need `.el` engine ports + full-lexicon wiring (ja: jpn_unimorph; zh: CC-CEDICT).
- **ar / he (Semitic)**: template engines (16 AR / 8 HE patterns, ~6 roots) in
`~/semitic_engine`, Python only. Root-and-pattern; full UniMorph ara/heb
present but used only for validation. Needs productive root lexicon + `.el` port.
- **hi (Hindi), fi (Finnish), sw (Swahili)**: `morphology-<code>.el` exists in
ELP but there is NO scattered prototype and NO downloaded data for these —
full-lexicon collection (UniMorph/kaikki) + generator still to do.
De/nl/sv Germanic and it/ro/ca/pt Romance verb coverage note: German verbs here
are the ~6.6k caches carry; the it/ro/ca/pt bonus languages have full vocab but
**no `morphology-<code>.el` in ELP yet** (Python realizer exists; `.el` port is
the remaining engine work).
Construction coverage (separate from lexicon): French realizer was ~55%,
Semitic ~3% in the prototypes — full construction coverage remains its own task.
