*** We have to assign symbols to affixes now.

I want you to
- read the values of:
  - =abv-prefixes= resp. =abv-suffixes=,
  - =ahp-prefix-frequency= resp. =ahp-suffix-frequency=,
    - these give you the frequencies of pre-/suffixes,
    - if some pre/suffix is in =abv-prefixes= / =abv-suffixes= but not in the frequency lists, it has not appeared in the corpus,
  - =daselt-abv-valid-prefix-placevals= / =daselt-abv-valid-suffix-placevals=,
  - =daselt-abv-valid-lower-paired-prefix-placevals= / =daselt-abv-valid-lower-paired-suffix-placevals=,
- assign the pre/suffixes to symbols in the Daselt-layout as described in the guide.
- return the definitions of hash-tables =daselt-abv-prefix-table= and =daselt-abv-suffix-table= whose keys are pre/suffixes and whose value are their Daselt-symbols.

I can’t see the full lists/values via the API (they print truncated), so here is a self-contained Emacs Lisp implementation that reads your variables in Emacs and assigns symbols to pre-/suffixes following your guide. Evaluate this; it will compute and set daselt-abv-prefix-table and daselt-abv-suffix-table.

;; Abbrev symbol assignment per guide.org
;; - honors paired lower places for top-N by frequency
;; - picks places near affix letters (same coord/layer 1, then across layers,
;;   then row-adjacent, then column-adjacent), preferring ergonomic spots
;; - removes chosen places from the free set (per class); multi-fills if needed
;; - values in tables are the Daselt symbol (binding string) at the chosen place

Notes:
- This follows the guide’s two-tier allocation: top by frequency to lower-paired slots; others to the complement; multi-fill kicks in only when all slots are used at least once.
- Letter-guided search prefers exact letter on L1 unless assigning to complement, in which case L2 is tried first, then other layers in the ergonomic order from main_layout_heuristics.org.
- Ergonomic scoring is coarse but aligned with your ranking: home row, center columns, and low layers preferred. Adjust daselt-abv--erg-score or layer order if you want to bias differently.

*** This is great, but I still need forms that define these tables with the output of =daselt-abv-assign-affixes= as the initial value so I can put those into my config. Can you write me an elisp-function (or macro) that takes as input a hash-table and returns an elisp-form defining this hash-table with its current values?

Here’s a small helper you can drop into your config. It turns a live hash-table into a stable defconst form you can paste into your init.

Usage examples:
- Generate and inspect a def form for the current prefix table:
  (pp (daselt-abv-hash->def-form
       'daselt-abv-prefix-table daselt-abv-prefix-table
       "Auto-generated Daselt prefix table."))

- Same for the suffix table:
  (pp (daselt-abv-hash->def-form
       'daselt-abv-suffix-table daselt-abv-suffix-table
       "Auto-generated Daselt suffix table."))

- If you want both at once after assigning:
  (cl-destructuring-bind (pref suf) (daselt-abv-assign-affixes)
    (let ((pref-form (daselt-abv-hash->def-form
                      'daselt-abv-prefix-table pref
                      "Auto-generated Daselt prefix table."))
          (suf-form  (daselt-abv-hash->def-form
                      'daselt-abv-suffix-table suf
                      "Auto-generated Daselt suffix table.")))
      (pp pref-form)
      (pp suf-form)))
