Upon getting player control, typing "get ammunition" returns: '"ammunition" is not in my vocabulary.' but picking up some ammunition is required to progress later in the game.
This works on nagi: typing "get ammunition" on the initial screen produces a "can't do that" response like "So sorry, Sir, but we sold out on that on Wednesday", indicating that nagi recognized the word. The ammo can also be picked up later in the game where it's present.

It actually seems that our AGI engine code was skipping most (or all) of the valid words that started with "a" for this game. With some quick debugging, it seemed to pick up about two or three of those but with bad prefix (ie. not actually "a").
I've issued a PR with a potential fix, which works for me, and also seems to still work with Space Quest 0 (a fan game for which we've had to add a work around for our word parsing code for the dictionary).
