No it's not. The actual word is descendant which can be used as both Noun and Adjective and descendents is the plural of that.

> I am also struggling to ascertain anything in the way of a style guide for vale files.  Sometimes words with two letters in common are collapsed into a single expression, and sometimes they are not.  Is there a style guide?
I try to concise this file as much as possible. If you mean writing style files check https://vale.sh and if you mean what rules are used in the FreeBSD repo check the FDP Primer https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275224.

All the style resides in https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/writing-style/#writing-style-linting-vale
