Sets for POS sub-categories
Sets for Semantic tags
Sets for Morphosyntactic properties
Sets for verbs
V is all readings with a V tag in them, REAL-V should be the ones without an N tag following the V.
The REAL-V set thus awaits a fix to the preprocess V … N bug.
The set COPULAS is for predicative constructions
NP sets defined according to their morphosyntactic features
The PRE-NP-HEAD family of sets

These sets model noun phrases (NPs). The idea is to first define whatever can occur in front of the head of the NP, and thereafter negate that with the expression WORD - premodifiers.

The set NOT-NPMOD is used to find barriers between NPs. Typical usage: … (*1 N BARRIER NPT-NPMOD) … meaning: Scan to the first noun, ignoring anything that can be part of the noun phrase of that noun (i.e., “scan to the next NP head”)

Miscellaneous sets
Border sets and their complements
Syntactic sets

These were the set types.

Sami GT convention

Triggers

%{W%}:0 Weak grade trigger
%{F%}:0 Foreign word flag to prevent application of weak grade trigger, so that a rule does not trigger Fiadi as the weak grade form of Fiat.
%{S%}:0 Strong stem trigger (for short illatives only), necessary for words with no stem gradation, having only short illative in a strong grade, e.g. Riia - Riiga, Rannu - Randu. (But currently used also for words with stem gradation, e.g. tuba - tuppa) Schwa trigger (for -el/er words only) never appears on the surface side.
%{id%}:0 Trigger / lexicon flag for pl part possible ending (esseesid/esseid)
%{stemill%}:0 Trigger / lexicon flag for short sg ill, formed by stem change (jõgi-jõkke)
%{dbl%}:0 Trigger to double the previous letter. Sometimes a phonologically long long kk pp tt
at the end of a Sg Nom word is written k p t, so it must be doubled (kabinet - kabinetti). Also, tulema, panema, surema, olema, minema have tulla, tulles etc…
%{no.apo%}:0 trigger for deleting apostrophe (normally used for foreign word inflections) from Sg Nom

Usage tag. It may relate to an individual word in the lexicon, or to a set of inflectional forms of some inflectional type, i.e. its sub-paradigm. It never surfaces. It is used to pair the surface form with the usage tag of the lexical representation.

%{rare%}:0 rare or less used form (norm) ; e.g. kingasid

Special surface side symbols, used in rule contexts

%> Inflectional suffix boundary
» Derivational suffix boundary
# Word boundary for both lexicalised and dynamic compounds Final hyphen for shortened stems:
```
%-
```
Apostrophe

Apostrophe is used for separating inflectional affix from a foreign word lemma

%{apo%}:0 … but Sg Nom is without apostrophe

Morphophonemes

If the sound change is unproductive and difficult to relate to its immediate context, we use capital letters with numbers to denote them. In stems, they typically result from diachronic processes. In affixes, they are typically related to the declination or conjugation and the form of the stem they attach to.

Short stops

G1:g In strong grade
G1:0 In weak grade
G1:k In short illative (lagi lae lakke)
B1:b In strong grade
B1:0 In weak grade
B1:m In weak grade after m
B1:p In short illative (tuba toa tuppa)
D1:d In strong grade
D1:0 In weak grade
D1:l In weak grade after l
D1:n In weak grade after n
D1:r In weak grade after r
D1:t In short illative (ladu lao lattu)

Orthographic convention: after voiceless (e.g. s or h, or k p t), gbd is written as kpt e.g. õhk-õhu, vask-vase K1 also in: uks, jooksma P1 also in: laps T1 also in: jätma, katma, kütma, matma, võtma, mõtlema, ütlema

K1:k In strong grade
K1:0 In weak grade
P1:p In strong grade ?? EKK: never happens ??
P1:0 In weak grade ?? EKK: never happens ??
T1:t In strong grade
T1:0 In weak grade
B2:b In strong grade, e.g. tiib
B2:v In weak grade, e.g. tiiva
B2:p In short illative (tõbi tõppe)
K2:k In strong grade
K2:g In weak grade
P2:p In strong grade
P2:b In weak grade
T2:t In strong grade
T2:d In weak grade

Short stops in stem illatives for words that do not have grade alternation. They surface (or appear as extra long) in strong grade, expressed by stem illative only.

G3:0
G3:g Riia Riiga
D3:0
D3:d Rannu Randu
G4:g
G4:k Türgi Türki
D4:d
D4:t Leedu Leetu
B4:b
B4:p Abja Apja
S1:s In strong grade, S1 is s
S1:0 In weak grade, S1 is 0; before stop, S1 is 0

Unstressed syllable vowels disappear…

A2:a valvas
A2:0 valv sa
E2:e laulev
E2:0 laul va
I2:i õilis
I2:0 õil sa
U2:u hirmus
U2:0 hirm sa

A stem vowel in inflectional forms of ne/s words, to make them formally similar in inflection

E1:e soolase, raudset
E1:0 soolas t

Ad hoc stem vowels for ne/s words

I1:i an ugly trigger for ne/s words katkine - katkisil
A1:a an ugly trigger for ne/s words pingne - pingsa
A1:0 pingne - pingsus

Few words…

j surfacing and changing

E4:e aeg, soe
E4:j aja, sooja
J1:i ahi, rohi
J1:j ahju
J1:0 rohu

4 words have h-illative: sohu, suhu, öhe, pähe

H3:h sohu, …
H3:0 soo, suu, …
Y3:u sohu, suhu
Y3:e öhe, pähe
Y3:0 öö, pea

only hea and pea

A6:a pea - pähe, päid
A6:ä
E6:e pea - pähe, päid
E6:0

6 words have õ in indicative past

Ö6:ü söö+a - süüa
Ö6:ö
Ö6:õ söö+i - sõi
Ö6:0
O6:u too+a - tuua
O6:o
O6:õ too+i - tõi
O6:0

A handful of words…

M1:m lumi
M1:n lun d
N1:n lään e, kolman da
N1:0 lää s, kolma s
K3:k vennakse
K3:0 venna s

Verb affix lexicons are simpler if we introduce these:

Stem vowels for verbs of some inflectional types

A7:a naerab
A7:0 naer ma
E7:e jookseb
E7:0 jooks ma

Verb affixes have k-g and t-d-0 alternations:

Imperative mood affixes gu/ku, ge/kem etc

G7:g
G7:k
G7:0

Infinitive affixes ta/da/a, and gerund affixes tes/des/es

D7:d
D7:t
D7:0

Impersonal voice affixes tud/tud, takse/dakse etc

T7:d
T7:t

To form past indicative forms and make them pronouncable

I7:i naeris
I7:0 naer sin
S7:s naersin
S7:0 seisin

Sometimes the choice of an allomorph or allophone is related to the frequency of the word.

For plural partitive, the form is generated either with sg vowel + sid or plural vowel + 0 So we must allow stem vowels for singular and plural to appear and disappear in certain conditions.

Singular stem vowel tag in lexicon

%{sg.a%}:a tüng - tünga
%{sg.a%}:0
%{sg.e%}:e neem - neeme
%{sg.e%}:0
%{sg.i%}:i taud - taudi, default sg stem vowel for most types
%{sg.i%}:0
%{sg.u%}:u koon - koonu
%{sg.u%}:0

Plural stem vowel tag in lexicon

%{pl.i%}:i king - kingi
%{pl.i%}:0 king - kingasid
%{pl.e%}:e tõug - tõuge, taud - taude, default pl stem vowel for most types
%{pl.e%}:0 tõug - tõugusid
%{pl.u%}:u laud - laudu
%{pl.u%}:0 laud - laudasid

Inflectional affixes having the same grammatical meaning: Pl Par endings sid/0, id/sid, Sg Ill endings sse/0. Their choice depends on triggers in the lexicon, have to be defined un-naturally letter by letter,

%{s%}:s s of sid: pl par ending siilisid
%{s%}:0 : pl par ending siile;
%{i%}:i i of sid: pl par ending siilisid
%{i%}:0 : pl par ending siile
%{d%}:d d of sid: pl par ending siilisid
%{d%}:0 : pl par ending siile
%{ss%}:s s of -sse jõesse;
%{ss%}:0 jõkke;
%{e%}:e e of -sse jõesse;
%{e%}:0 jõkke;

If the sound change is productive and/or very regularly determined by context (e.g. by morpheme border), we do not use special symbols to denote the changing phonemes

ne, s ending words have similar paradigms; only sg nom is different

n:n soolane and other ne-words Sg Nom
n:s soolas+e, soolas+t etc
e:e soolane
e:0 soolas0+e

-le/-el stem alternations also use e:0, in addition to 0:e (sip0lema-sipel0da)

high vowel lowering in certain contexts

i:e
i:i
u:o
u:u
ü:ö
ü:ü
kraapi%{W%}>n

Verb

Verbil on finiitsed (pöördelised) ja infiniitsed (nn käänduvad) vormid. Pöördelistel vormidel on kategooriad: tegumood, aeg, kõneviis, isik, arv, kõneliik (tegumood ja aeg on ka mõnedel infiniitsetel vormidel).

Verbs have finite (conjugable) and infinite (“declinable”) forms. The finite forms have categories: voice, tense, mood, person, number, negation (some infinite forms also have voice and tense).

Pöördelised vormid / Conjugable forms

Tegumood / Voice

+Impers : umbisikuline / impersonal
+Pers : isikuline / personal

Aeg / Tense

+Prs : olevik / present
+Prt : minevik / past (i.e. not present)

Lihtminevik = minevik / Past imperfect = past

Täisminevik / Past perfect: olema (pres) + nud/tud/dud (olen teinud)

Enneminevik / Past pluperfect: olema (impf) + nud/tud/dud (olin teinud)

Kõneviis / Mood

+Ind : kindel / indicative
+Cond : tingiv / conditional
+Imprt : käskiv / imperative / jussive
+Quot : kaudne / quotative

Pööre ja arv / Person and number

+Sg1 : ainsuse 1. pööre / singular 1st person
+Sg2 : ainsuse 2. pööre / singular 2nd person
+Sg3 : ainsuse 3. pööre / singular 3rd person
+Pl1 : mitmuse 1. pööre / plural 1st person
+Pl2 : mitmuse 2. pööre / plural 2nd person
+Pl3 : mitmuse 3. pööre / plural 3rd person

Kõneliik / Polarity

Kategooriate võimalikud kombinatsioonid / Possible combinations of categories

allikas / source : Heiki-Jaan Kaalep. Eesti verbi vormistik. Keel ja kirjandus 1/2015 lk 1-15.

The categories are given in the order in which the allomorphs (if they can be distinguished) that represent them are attached to the word stem (note that the treatment of allomorphs is sloppy here). The justification is that the categories are not equal, but form an hierarchy: those closer to the word end tend to be more optional, more often non-specified.

voice: personal vs. impersonal (0-morph vs. t/d(aiu)), eg. elaks vs. elataks, elav vs. elatav
tense: present vs. past (0-morph vs. s/si/nu), e.g. elan vs. elasin, elaks vs. elanuks
mood: indicative vs. conditional vs imperative vs quotative (0-morph vs. ks vs. k/g(ue) vs. vat)
person+number: notice that in personal present and past conditional, imperative and quotative moods one form is underspecified for person+number
negation: affirmative vs. negative. It manifests itself via lexical means: it is either present in an exceptional wordform (some forms of olema) or gets adhered to a form, normally used in affirmative, from an immediately preceding word ei, ega or ära (e.g. ei elaks). The only case when negation has a dedicated form of its own is impersonal present indicative negative (e.g. ei elata).

The forms of negative words pole and ära are included in order to capture really all the combinations; also note that for olema, there are some constellations of categories that are the same for a wordform beginning with ole- and pole-

Flag diacritics

Use the following flag diacritics to control downcasing of derived proper nouns (e.g. Finnish Pariisi -> pariisilainen). See e.g. North Sámi for how to use these flags. There exists a ready-made regex that will do the actual down-casing given the proper use of these flags. | @U.Cap.Obl@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj. | @U.Cap.Opt@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj.

These are used for limiting the number of components in a compound word (the compound transducer is cyclic, but in reality there is a limit to the length of words) | @D.Part@ | No part of a compound should have been encountered yet | @P.Part.One@ | Indicate that this could be the first part of a compound | @R.Part.One@ | Require that the first part has been encountered; if a lemma has it, it means that the lemma cannot be part2 or part3 of a compound | @D.Part.One@ | Require that the first part has NOT been encountered | @P.Part.Two@ | Indicate that this could be the second part of a compound | @R.Part.Two@ | Require that the second part has been encountered | @P.Part.Three@ | Indicate that this could be the third part of a compound | @P.Part.Bad@ | Indicate that this cannot be a part of a compound | @R.Part.Bad@ | Require that the first part has been encountered; if a lemma has it, it means that the lemma cannot be part2

POS is used for filtering derivations and compounds | @R.POS.NumCardCompound@ | compound numeral (viis+sada - five hundred)

Case is used for filtering derivations and compounds

Remember there has been some derivation from A or N; for filtering compounds derivation from V is called paradigmatic and does not result in Der; just a new POS…

Remember the stem type; for filtering compounds

Lexicons

LEXICON Root is the starting point of everything

For modelling compounds, the simplex word fst is concatenated with itself. For this, Kleene star operation is used, i.e. fst is concatenated zero to any number of times. For the lookup process, this creates a possibility of infinitely many passes through the fst, thus allowing infinitely long words. For limiting and controlling the passes, flag diacritics are used. Lookup process remembers which paths it has taken, and counts the passes. For remembering, it sets up flags on the path:

Flag the first 3 passes through the simplex fst (thus forbidding any more passes) (the lexicon contains conventionalised compounds, thus the max number of compound components is larger than three; however, no Estonian word with more than five components has been found yet)
In every pass, flag the POS and inflection, to be used in the following pass Different paths may correspond to the same surface string, e.g. mootoriõlilik = (mootori+õli)+lik and (mootori)+(õli+lik)

Lexicon-based passes

strictly simplex word; cannot be a part of a compound a simplex word, or the first part of a compound

` @D.Part@@P.Part.Two@@P.NeedPart.Three@@P.POS.Num@ CardinalNumbersInCompBeg ; ` 5-autone etc

Guesser assumes that there is only one pass, and that only the final part is important (out-of-vocabulary simplex words are treated elsewhere)
