custom lexicon key with multiple words only partially matching

See original GitHub issue

Is this normal behavior? I was hoping any custom lexicon key of mine would override anything else. Any suggestions around it if it’s normal behavior?

let nlp = require('nlp_compromise');
let newLex = nlp.lexicon();
newLex['ser waymar royce'] = 'TARGETED_GUY';
console.log(nlp.sentence('Ser Waymar Royce asked cooly.', {lexicon: newLex}).terms);

is giving output

Noun {
    whitespace: { preceding: '', trailing: ' ' },
    text: 'Ser Waymar',
    normal: 'ser waymar',
    expansion: null,
    reasoning: [ 'fallback', 'capital_signal', 'chunked two-nouns' ],
    pos: { Noun: true },
    tag: 'Noun' },
  Person {
    whitespace: { preceding: '', trailing: ' ' },
    text: 'Royce',
    normal: 'royce',
    expansion: null,
    reasoning: [ 'capital_signal', 'lexicon_pass' ],
    pos: { Noun: true, Person: true, MalePerson: true },
    tag: 'MalePerson',
    honourific: null,
    firstName: 'Royce',
    middleName: '',
    lastName: null },
  Verb {
    whitespace: { preceding: '', trailing: ' ' },
    text: 'asked',
    normal: 'asked',
    expansion: null,
    reasoning: [ 'lexicon_pass' ],
    pos: { Verb: true, PastTense: true },
    tag: 'PastTense' },

etc…

hey brian, yuck. this seems like a bug for sure. it looks like the term ‘Royce’ is tripping it up because it’s already recognized as a first-name. There may be some lumping/splitting rule it’s colliding with, because of the first-name. Definitely not what it’s supposed to do… I can look at doing a hotfix this week. thanks
