I think "native Japanese" is relevant information

The exposed forms are generally believed to have derived from suffixation and subsequent contraction of the covert forms, or just from the covert forms in general.

E.g. 黄泉・よみ which is thought to be the 露出形 of the older よも found only as a 被覆形 (e.g. よもつXX).
  Comments:
I'm having second thoughts about "not used in compounds", because it's technically wrong. There's plenty of words containing 雨 as あめ and not あま. I think it is a bit more difficult to define this as it's not a limited phenomenon like the 被覆形 is, which exclusively appears in compounds.

I see we have 白・しら with a noun/adj-na sense which would contradict this. But from what I saw just now the しら here is 熟字訓 and comes from 知ら(ない) and not the 被覆形 しら.
I'll look into that later and amend the entry if required.
