I just wanted clarification for why you cannot use the contraction for "after" in the name Hereafter Hollow, but you can use the contraction for "here".
Hello,
In this instance, "Hereafter Hollow" is a Proper name. Section11.8 in the instruction manual speaks to Short-Form Words in Proper Names and Rule XVI.47.b in EBAE tells us that a short-form word should be used as the whole proper name only. In the instance of "Herafter," that is a compound word with two short-forms and thus cannot be used.
I hope this helps. 🙂
