Faroese Noun morphology

This file contains the inflection suffixes for the Faroese nowns The infection classes are identical to the ones in Føroysk orðabók.

The morphology is ordered in three layers.

Layer 1: Basic noun lexica

The nominal morphology is added in three layers. In this first layer we add gender tags and morphophonological diacritics. The next two layers are for indefinite and definite suffixes, respectively.

Lexicons still to be allocated

We first list 4 lexica for words waiting to be checked.!

• LEXICON xi . TOOD: classify words in xi. They are all m
• LEXICON xkv2 . TOOD: classify xkv1. They are all f and end in a
• LEXICON xh3. TOOD: classify xkv2. They are all f and end in a consonant

• LEXICON xh25. TOOD: classify xkv2. They are all f and end in a consonant

• LEXICON f

Irregular nouns

These are lexica with number 0, they have no inflectional morphology.!

• LEXICON k0 for januar etc.
• LEXICON kv0 for ommudidd
• LEXICON h0 for indeclinable neuters
• LEXICON irregular_nouns just gives the tags for the indeclinables
