I'm wondering how componentised names are going to work for languages
where the street type is not written as a seperate word. Examples
would be:

Van Mierenveldtlaan
Maria van Jesselaan
Houthaak
Raam

In this case "laan" is the street type, the rest is the name,
including spaces. The last two have no street type at all. And I'm not
sure how you'd consider "Oostplantsoen". A "plantsoen" is a kind of
garden, would that count as a street type?

Have a nice day,
