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:.


The naming conventions[2] used in Cocoa predate both Key-Value Coding[3] and the dot syntax, and therefore both follow them.

Cheers,
Ken
