Comments
An initial attempt to clarify the criteria for unanalyzability—thoughts?: If somebody who hadn't heard the expression or name before would be able to figure out what/who it is based on the meanings of the individual words/parts, it is probably analyzable.

Another unanalyzable MWE: "French horn" (a kind of musical instrument, with a particular shape and physical properties, not necessarily made in France) |
The criterion is: are you able to recognize the semantic input of the part in the whole. Names are an exception. Add a criterion: if something is named after something else, that something else is not analyzed internally: But: So no inner analysis of St. Paul / St. Lawrence. Dotan? |
Instead of "named after something else", "named after a completely different kind of thing (e.g. city named after person)". |
Yes, that's what I tell annotators if they ask. Sure we can add something about it. |
Unify chapter 9 and 6, consider "the real deal" as unanalyzable.
