If the pronunciation audio of the bigger word is not found, the audio of its sub-word should be played #575

User calls yomita popup for a big word, for example 朝っぱらから. One of the dictionaries has an entry for the 朝っぱらから. However, no audio exists for 朝っぱらから.

There is a smaller word, 朝っぱら that is listed in the popup. The audio exists for this word.

My expectation is that yomitan should play the audio for 朝っぱら.

This is definitely a useful feature at least for japanese because since we got more and more dictionaries, they're great but also kinda show words with に,の,な,く and they usually don't have audio. Actually depending on your view you can say these are conjugations. So maybe it's something like described here https://github.com/yomidevs/yomitan/issues/1579. I've always wanted this ability to just have it go down to the next word since these are clearly basically almost the same word.
