When we mark a whole tier as second language tier (using [- eng] in a mainly Spanish transcript, for instance), this is not a problem. It is only with individual words in a second language that are marked with @s, that MOR recognizes it is a second language, but does not interpret the word.

I guess you mean that you would like MOR to tag froggie as a noun.  To do that, you can enter it as froggie at s$n.  There is a mention of this in the CHAT manual, but it was not in the place where you would have expected to find it.
