Cathy,
    In the English MOR lexicon, these files have the words with underscores used by MOR;
adj-under.cut
adv-under.cut
conj-under.cut
n-under.cut
prep-under.cut

Interestingly, there is no v-under.cut.  There are also *-hyphen.cut files.  We use hyphens when standard English spelling uses them.

My concern is that CLAN can't find items like "out of nowhere" if I don't specify them as "out_of_nowhere" in the .cut file. I have played around with these items and it seems like the answer is no, CLAN won't recognize them if the underscore isn't included in the search.

There are certain items like "in order to" that I have found to be transcribed both ways ("in order to" and "in_order_to"), in which case I am happy to put both forms in the file if necessary. Is there a comprehensive list of these items you can direct me to so that I don't miss any of these items? The CHAT manual addresses the use of underscore, but doesn't seem to include a list.
