# RAGbase Shield NER stop list (English). Written for RAGbase Shield, Apache-2.0.
# Words and phrases that an NER span may never be made of alone: document and role nouns, defined contract
# terms, chat and e-mail words, closings. Matching is case insensitive. A multi-word entry is a phrase: a span
# equal to it is dropped, a span that starts with it loses the phrase.
# Do not add words that can be the distinctive part of a person or company name.
