Try monosyllable examples: lie, ky, køf

Technical Notes
- FTS4 full-text searches: SQLite FTS3 and FTS4 Extensions
- Token prefix queries: use the asterisk ('*') at the end. Similar to but not same as the wildcard character in operating systems (normal wildcard search not currently supported by FTS)
- Example: Taioa*
- Specify a column-name followed by a colon (':')
- Example: thj:頭* (you should see all DFT entries starting with this Harnji)
