Documentation of the *-lex.txt files
The lex-smn.txt file
Some basic lexica for nouns and verbs have been added.
The nouns
The file contain a handful of nouns. They are divided into these lexica:
Even-syllable stem
- SOLLA
- â-, u- and i-stems
- LUCCA
-
- KIETA
-
- KUSSA
-
- KUOSA
-
Odd-syllable stems
- LITTER
- No CG, no 2nd syll vowel alternation
- JIEREEH
- No CG, but 2nd syll vowel is shortened
- IMMEEL
- No CG, but 2nd syll vowel is shortened or lowered
- KOLGOOH
- No CG, but 2nd syll vowel is facultatively shortened
- UAIVAT
- No CG, but 2nd syll vowel is facultatively lenghtened
The adjectives
This is still just a dummy file, with no adjectives added.
The verbs
The copula and negation verb are added, otherwise it is still only a
dummy file.
The closed classes
Generating the closed classes typically involves less
morphophonology. Since it is idiosyncratic anyway, it does not refer
(much) to the twol-smn.txt file. The closed-smn-lex.txt file now
contains personal, demonstrative, reflexive and interrogative
pronouns.
Adpositions
Dummy file.
