I realize after all this, it's not really the Dot Syntax I need. I need
to know how a property name (starts with lower-case letter) is
transliterated into the getter/setter names.

The dot syntax uses the getter and setting specified for the property in
the @property declaration. As documented[1], if you don't explicitly supply
getter or setter names in that directive, it defaults to the property name
for the getter and "set" plus the property name with its first letter
capitalized plus a trailing colon for the setter.

It also has a special case for boolean where getter may be prefixed by "is":
enabled => isEnabled / setEnabled:.

This is not true. Each (read/write) property defines one setter and
one getter, there is no special case for BOOL properties. If you want
the getter to be called "isEnabled", you have to specify that:

@property (getter = isEnabled) enabled;
