How do I fix the following segmentation problem: In Icelandic m.v. abbreviation is often followed by a date e.g. 'Ef misbrestur verður á greiðist sérstakt fatagjald kr. 12,53 á hverja klst. (m.v. 1.5.2015).' Although m.v. is in the abbreviation list it segments incorrectly after the v. when followed by a digit.
Thanks for replying Paul.
1. What version of Studio are you using?
SDL Trados Studio 2019 Freelance
2. Are you adding the abbreviation after the project has already been created?
No, m.v. has been in abbreviations for some months. My practice is to add any new abbreviations on the fly.
3. Have you got a lot more abbreviations in the list that might be clashing?
I have many abbreviations so there could be a conflict but I suspect it relates to ordinal followers in some way.
4. Can you share what you see?
From the same document I see that the segmentation fails when m.v. is followed by a digit but not when followed by a letter. See the examples below:

I am doing a study on ways to optimise the quality of TMs as eventual resources for machine translation development for "less well-resourced languages", e.g. Icelandic, with only a 300k+ language community. Part of this work has been to log any issues, such as the "m.v." problem that might impinge on TM quality. I have been logging since October 2018. I could send you more information on the study if you are interested.
I was going to copy the abbreviations and ordinal followers from the raw TM but it is too big (100.000 segments) to open in my text editor. Is there a way to get these lists directly from Trados?
