Before considering this to be the final approach, please add into the mix the
following three words: perineum, perinea, perineal.

Looking through my Web-Braille books I find examples of the first and third of these. They do not use the in sign.

It may also be worth considering that it's valid English to use a name as a
verb, as in "he's been Perined".

Really? In the Nero Wolfe mysteries Wolfe has a fit when something is used as a verb that isn't one. I don't know if using a name as a verb is one of the cases he would object to. You could add Perined as another exception if you wish; I think it'd be less confusing if you do it so there aren't multiple versions of the patch from me. I'll keep it in mind should we come up against another name that has to be special-cased like this. Thanks.
