Uh, yes that was unclear. forward-word says
The word boundaries are normally determined by the buffer’s syntax
table and character script (according to ‘char-script-table’), but
‘find-word-boundary-function-table’, such as set up by ‘subword-mode’,
can change that.
so obviously it falls back onto the syntax table.
