You are right, according to UEB 10.5.3, the lower wordsigns "in" (and "enough")
are the only lower wordsigns that may be in contact with lower punctuation
provided either is in contact with a character containing an upper dot 1 or 4.
Where people get mixed up is when "in" or "enough" when standing alone and in
contact only with lower punctuation, such as a period, comma, hyphen, dash,
etc. —then the contraction may not be used since it would result in a sequence
of all lower dots, neither of which would be in contact with dot 1 or 4.

Subject: [duxuser] question on translating in-store
Hi All,
I am puzzled! DBT translates in-store with an in contraction. When I read the
rules in the UEB book, section 10.5.3 I think it gets translated. But, I’ve
been told the in does not get contracted.
Curious if DBT and I are correct or not.
Lori
