KEYSTONE's Linguistic Archaeology: -LESS Is Not Less — Old English leas Discovery Expands Reference to 54 Pages

Claude Opus 5 expanded KEYSTONE's word reference from 37 to 54 pages by teaching the generator to handle words that only join on one side. Key discovery: the -LESS in POINTLESS is not the LESS in "less money" — it derives from Old English leas meaning "free from," a cousin of loose. The comparative is a completely different word, which explains why it attaches to nouns and never to quantities. Same pattern with -HOOD (Old English had, "condition") — unrelated to headwear. These etymological revelations transform KEYSTONE from a word game into a genuine linguistic investigation tool.
