Carries out 3j of item 11 of the 2026-10-27 #753 entry, with the definition of the 2026-10-30 entry. The four API points below were decided on 2026-10-31; the rest of the 2026-10-30 entry's proposed bullet is built as proposed (no `Locale.strict` field; the chosen files' `default = false` readings turned on and no other file's; patches and fragments applied after the strict compile, untouched; `Lexicon.given_names` and `Lexicon.surnames` outside it; packs stacked as a union; a caller's listing of a dropped word dropped by the delta). Built on master `8438ccbb`.
   1. **A strict call that chooses no language raises `ValueError`.** The message names the packs given and offers a pack that chooses a language, the first pack's code where a strict choice accepts it as one (`parser_for(locales.ZH, strict=True)` offers `Locale(code='zh', lexicon=Lexicon.empty(), languages=frozenset({'zh'}))`), else `en`; tests/v2/test_parser.py runs the offered code.
   2. **No public `locales.choose`.** A bare choice is a `Locale` with an empty lexicon and the tags, the spelling docs/locales.rst teaches.
-  3. **The words strict ungates are derived**, `_reading_index.strict_ungated`, each strict choice against the plain choice of the same tags and never against the default's markers, which miss a reading the choice turns on; tests/v2/test_reading_index.py holds every one-tag strict choice to a per-tag table, which is the 2026-10-30 entry's 16 words and 27 word-and-tag pairs over 13 tags exactly, so a word that joins or leaves is a reviewed diff.

   4. **A strict choice accepts a tag whose file holds no reading** (hu, kk, kok, vi and zu today): under strict it is not inert, every Latin-script reading leaving. A plain choice of one is still refused, its message now saying a strict one accepts it. The reading index records every file's tag for this (`FILES` in nameparser/config/_index.py, read by `_reading_index.files`), a file holding only exclusions writing no row of `READINGS`.
   - The build refuses `prefer` and `strict` as data, saying a strength is the caller's (`parser_for(..., strict=True)`), where it had said each was reserved for phase 3; the RFC's phase 3 API section had decided the message.
   - `_reading_index`'s `UNCHOOSABLE` comment and `selected`'s refusal text, which said no choice removes a reading of `mul` or `und`, now say a plain choice never does and a strict one drops both.

Each batch is its own PR, measured on master; this entry records the decision and each batch's measurement as it lands, beside the change.
   - **`jr`, `junior`, `jnr` → `mul.toml`.** Written after names in every country's data, generations with no name reading in any file, so check 13 admits them: strict choices broke 1,036 records on `jr` across 15 languages' countries (fil 408, pt-BR 183, de 48, fr 48, zh 36, ta 36, ms 34, es 27), 246 on `junior` (pt-BR 153, pt 25, es 18) and 13 on `jnr` (ak), and every one falls to 0 with the move (simulated). It costs the records where a holder typed `Junior` into the family box or as a given name and strict, reading it as a name, agreed: pt-BR 57, fr 11, es 5, pt 3, fil 1, ak 1 (the review's re-run, 2026-11-03); and a given name `Junior` after a family comma reads as the generation, as the default reads it, with a report (`Silva, Junior João` under strict `pt-BR` → family 'Silva', suffix 'Junior João', suffix-or-name, where strict read given 'Junior'). On the change, over a grid of 21 shapes (each comma shape, cased, upper, lower and dotted spellings, a credential behind it) under the three orders: the default and the plain `pt-BR`, `fil` and `en` choices move no cell, nor strict `en`; strict `pt-BR`, `fil`, `ko` and `de` move 57 cells each, every one onto the default's reading of the generation (`Silva, Junior` → suffix 'Junior', where strict read given 'Junior'), save the parts of those names another file's word decides (`MD`'s report, en's `do`, pt's `da` and `de`). `junior` is also a given name (ORCID's given boxes 480 times, Brazil, Ghana and Cameroon most), which no file records: a vocabulary-collisions question, not a `mul.toml` one.
   - **Recompute.** `tools/differential/config_diff.py gaps` on the tree before and after (`gaps fil pt-BR de fr zh ta ms es pt ak` reaches every row above); the grid is the 21 names `Paulo Silva Junior`, `Paulo Silva Jr`, `Paulo Silva Jr.`, `Paulo Silva, Jr.`, `Silva, Paulo, Jr.`, `Silva Jr, Paulo`, `Silva Jr., Paulo`, `, Jr.`, `Silva, Jr.`, `Junior Silva`, `Silva, Junior`, `Paulo Junior Silva`, `PAULO SILVA JUNIOR`, `paulo silva junior`, `Paulo Silva JNR`, `Paulo Silva Jnr.`, `Paulo Silva Jr., MD`, `Dr. Paulo Silva Jr`, `Silva, Paulo Jr`, `Paulo de Souza Junior` and `Jr`, each parsed in both trees under the three orders and `default`, `plain:PT_BR`, `plain:fil`, `plain:en`, `strict:PT_BR`, `strict:fil`, `strict:en`, `strict:ko` and `strict:de` (`config_diff.build` names each), and the cells compared; the review's own grid of 10 spellings by 21 shapes over 15 plain and 17 strict choices moved 0 default, plain or strict `en` cells and 438 strict ones, every one onto the default's reading save another file's word.

Each entry copies es.toml's kind and properties (`de` and `los` state `may_be_given = false`, no file holding a given reading of either).
+  - **What moves.** The compiled default does not (`tools/vocab/build.py` reports `_compiled.py` current). Over a grid of 21 Filipino names (each comma shape, cased, upper and lower spellings, a title and a generation beside them) under the three orders, the default and plain `fil` move no cell; strict `fil` and strict `fil` + `en` move 50 each, toward the default's reading save one class: `del`, `la` and `san` hold a `given` reading in es.toml alone, which strict `fil` drops while it keeps fil.toml's particle reading, so there they read as never-given particles, and a bare `Del Rosario` reads family 'Del Rosario' where the default reads given 'Del' and reports particle-or-given. That reads the Filipino surname as the surname it is; `_reading_index.strict_ungated`'s reviewed table gains `fil: del, la, san`, as it holds `it`'s for the same three. The same class after a family comma loses the given name: `Santos, Del` reads family 'Santos Del' where the default and plain `fil` read given 'Del', as the default already reads `Santos, De`; 26 names of a 1-in-4 sample of the local corpora take that shape (`BITTNER, DEL`, mostly FEC). On Philippine records the class costs 2 (`La Reina Eunice Santos` and `La Trang` read all-family, `la` broke 2 under strict `fil` on the change), `del` and `san` none (the review's run, 2026-11-03). Not added: `las` (`Las Piñas`, 3 Philippine records under strict `fil`), left for a later batch. A plain choice reads `Reading.languages` of `de` and `la` with `fil` among the files (the default too; plain `fil` names `fil` alone).
+  - **Recompute.** `tools/differential/config_diff.py gaps fil` on the tree before and after; the grid is the 21 names `Juan De La Cruz`, `Juan dela Cruz`, `Maria Del Rosario`, `Jose San Juan`, `Juan De Los Santos`, `De La Cruz, Juan`, `Del Rosario, Maria Luisa`, `, De La Cruz`, `Cruz, Juan de la`, `JUAN DE LA CRUZ`, `juan de la cruz`, `Juan De Guzman Jr.`, `Del Rosario`, `La Cruz`, `San Juan`, `Juan Del`, `Maria La Paz Reyes`, `Dr. Jose De Leon`, `Del Pilar Santos`, `Juan Santos, De La` and `Ma. Teresa De Los Reyes`, each parsed in both trees under the three orders and `default`, `plain:fil`, `strict:fil` and `strict:fil+en` (`config_diff.build` names each), and the cells compared; the review's own grid of 39 names agreed in direction, and `config_diff.py diff default plain:fil --local all --match '(?i)\b(de|del|la|san|los)\b' --sample 4` read 0 of 61,947 names differently in either tree.

     - **Add a switch for names with a compound given name.** ``Parser(policy=Policy(two_given_names=True)).parse("Juan Carlos Pérez")`` gives given ``Juan Carlos``, where 1.4.0 through 2.8.0 gave given ``Juan``, middle ``Carlos``. Off by default: under it a middle name beside the given name joins it (``John Quincy Adams`` gives given ``John Quincy``). With ``two_family_names`` on too, the family takes its word first, so ``María José García López`` reads given ``María José``, family ``García López``. A ``Policy`` pickled by 2.8 loads with it off. :issue:`704`
     - **Add Lexicon.given_names, given names two_family_names leaves out of the family.** ``Parser(policy=Policy(two_family_names=True), lexicon=Lexicon.default() | Lexicon(given_names={"luis"})).parse("José Luis Pérez")`` gives middle ``Luis``, family ``Pérez``, where the switch alone, in 2.8.0 as now, gives family ``Luis Pérez``. Empty by default, so the switch alone reads as before; an entry without accents matches the word with them. :issue:`959`
     - **Add Token.reading, the reading the parse took for each word.** ``parse("John Smith PhD Jones").tokens[-1].reading`` is ``Reading('credential' as 'suffix', 'position')``, the reading 2.7's ``Ambiguity.alternative`` gave only for the other side of a fork, and ``ReadingKind`` gains ``patronymic``. The field is not compared, and a ``ParsedName`` pickled by 2.x loads with no readings. :issue:`754`
-    - **Add Reading.languages, the language files that list a word the way it was read.** ``parse("Dr. Juan de la Vega III").tokens[2].reading.languages`` is ``('es', 'fr', 'it', 'nl', 'pt')`` for the particle ``de``, and ``Ambiguity.alternative`` names its files too; a reading by shape or position names none. Under a choice of languages it names the files the choice reads: ``parser_for(locales.PT)`` names ``('pt',)`` for that ``de``. It is not compared, and a ``Reading`` pickled by 2.7 or 2.8 loads with none. The first parse in a process that meets a listed word loads the reading index once: about 1 ms, or about 16 ms where Python writes no bytecode cache. :issue:`754`, :issue:`753`

     - **Add Czech, Slovak, Slovenian and Croatian packs, locales.CS, SK, SL and HR.** ``parser_for(locales.CS).parse("Jan Novák, MUDr")`` gives title ``MUDr``, given ``Jan``, family ``Novák``, where 1.4.0 through 2.8.0 gave given ``MUDr``, family ``Jan Novák``. Each pack chooses its one language and turns on words the default does not read: ``ml.`` and ``st.`` after the name in all four (``Jiří Dienstbier ml.``), the Czech and Slovak academic titles and ``DrSc.``, and Czech ``Pan`` and ``roz.``. Choosing the language drops ``st``'s Saint readings (``St Clair Smith`` reads given ``St``), which choosing ``fr`` as well keeps. ``CS`` and ``SK`` also read two family names, so ``Alena Pešová Řehořová`` gives family ``Pešová Řehořová`` and two given names read as a given name and a family name (``Petr Pavel Novák`` gives family ``Pavel Novák``); a family comma keeps both. :issue:`753`
     - **Add Hindi and Bengali packs, locales.HI and locales.BN, for the romanized Indic titles.** ``parser_for(locales.HI).parse("Smt Nirmala Sitharaman")`` gives title ``Smt``, given ``Nirmala``, where 1.4.0 through 2.8.0 gave given ``Smt``, middle ``Nirmala``. ``HI`` reads ``Smt``, ``Shrimati`` and ``Shriyut`` as titles and ``BN`` ``Smt``, ``Shrimati`` and ``Adhyapak``; ``Shri`` and ``Sushri`` stay name words under both, since each opens given names (``Shri Kant``, ``Sushri Sangita``). See :doc:`locales`. :issue:`345`, :issue:`753`
     - **Add parser_for(..., strict=True), to read only the chosen languages' words.** ``parser_for(Locale(code="ko", lexicon=Lexicon.empty(), languages=frozenset({"ko"})), strict=True).parse("Kim Do Hyun")`` gives middle ``Do``, family ``Hyun``, where the default, as in 1.4.0 through 2.8.0, and a plain ``ko`` choice give family ``Do Hyun``, ``Do`` read as the Portuguese particle. Only the chosen languages' vocabulary files are read, with the words every language writes alike (``Dr``, ``PhD``, ``Mr``, the numerals) and the words written in other scripts; every other language's words leave, the rest of the English credentials and salutations included, so ``Kim Min Jun, MD`` gives given ``MD`` unless ``en`` is chosen too. A strict call that chooses no language raises ``ValueError``. ``python -m nameparser`` gains ``--strict``, and ``--locale`` takes a language tag no pack has (``--locale ko``).
