Yes, homonym GAT expands to four graphs. So, add one. Do the same
for GWAT. It would be like adding a new word or variant spelling to
the spellchecker interactive flow.
You will see the homonym CHO expands to 17 graphs. Maybe there are
more to add there.

The homomym \FOH has a backslash prefix, the other input sequences
don't have a prefix symbol. I don't know why that convention is. At
a guess, the prefix adds a different style of input sequence. Maybe
that is explained in the documentation I haven't reached.

I included the picture to accompany the above wording on navigating to
the dropdown menu and to show the GAT and GWAT homonym as displayed,
as a help, and to suggest how the phonoloreading once looked up can be
used to augment entries no found in the received CTLau-b5.html . You
will also see there are TOFU graphs, so the situation is an improving
incomplete work in progress.
