Breton and French name words: particle ar, generational suffix fils, and M. as a title #658
Three gaps from the CLDR corpus, each with its own collision question:
Katell ar Gall → middle 'ar', family 'Gall' (Breton particle "the")
Jean-Nicolas de Bouchart fils → family 'de Bouchart fils' (French "Jr.")
M. Jean Dupont → given 'M.', middle 'Jean' (French "Monsieur")
ar as a particle: a US surname (231) and a Turkish one (8 Wikidata family bearers, trailing). As an ambiguous particle it would read like van does. Check it against Arabic transliterations (ar-Rahman), which are usually hyphenated.
fils as a suffix word: collides. It's a US surname with 767 bearers and 5 Wikidata family bearers, and a suffix claim acts on exactly that last-word position. If added, it needs the ambiguous treatment ma/meng got (decisions.md#suffix-acronym-collisions), not plain suffix status.
