I don't understand. So far as I can tell, {Doq 'ej wovbe'} *is* a
"complete canon phrase" in exactly the way you say you use "phrase" in
your software. Are you using a specialized definition of something, or
making an assumption somewhere, that you think is so obvious that it
doesn't need to be stated?

In what format would you prefer me to send it to you? Note that what I
put in my own dictionary is almost exclusively individual words. The
only multi-word entry in my lexicon database that isn't a noun is the
exclamation {buy' ngop}.
