Now I agree with your terminology.

My hypotesis should be like follows:

The hypothetical end-of-sentence "=~" should be added in the following cases:
(1) Between words, "statistically strong" at the <EOP>, and gallows
(like ch-words, d-words, -m words, -g words, -y words (not -dy, not -ey))
(2) Between words, "statistically very strong" at the <EOP>, if they are on the
<EOL> (-m words, -g words)
(3) Before gallows, if they are after <EOL>
Exclusion: One-word-sentence should be avoided.


All my best
Vladimir
