For completness, three standard latex macros appear inside the 
startlword and endlword and are not from your list namely

@[startlword]Re@[endlword]     # letter-like symbol
@[startlword]Im@[endlword]     # letter-like symbol
@[startlword]sqrt@[endlword]   # latex extensible accent

(it does matter since \operatorname{sqrt} is ugly compared to \sqrt)
