What ever happened with "ground n." It look like a software bug to me.
It is not picking up the other (non verbal) entry for ground.
I've spent about six hours in the past two days trying to make this
work properly, and my conclusion is that it's going to require a
rewrite of large portions of the server in order to make it do the
right thing.
I don't know when I'll get a chance to do that, so I can't tell you
when this bug is going to be fixed. Sorry.
