Ojibwe verb stems

The verbs are analysed as follows:

• We split the Verb lexicon in 4 groups according to transitivity class
• For each group, we add the prefixes, and mark them with flag diacritics (the @ symbols)
• Then come the stems themselves
• Finally, come the suffixes, including flag diacritics to ensure that the correct prefixes and suffixes are matched together

Prefixes and suffixes are in affixes/verbs.lexc, whereas the stems are in stems/verbs.lexc

The Ojibwe verbs are divided in four groups:

1. IA: Intransitive animate
2. II: Intransitive inanimate
3. TA: Transitive animate
4. TI: Transitive inanimate
