Acronym classification

Acronyms are shortenings that inflect. They all have two inflection patterns, one read letter by letter, and one word-by-word. They are separate entries in this dictionary. For example OY will have singular illatives OY:hyn and OY:öön for yyhyn and yhtiöön resp., although latter is much rarer. A big majority of popular acronyms in everyday use comes from English, and the word-based inflection is virtually non-existent and would be very confusing so there’s no high priority for adding that.

The first classification for acronyms should be along the final letter, then if the final word inflection is used, the class of that word.
