Flag diacritics
We have manually optimised the structure of our lexicon using following
flag diacritics to restrict morhpological combinatorics - only allow compounds
with verbs if the verb is further derived into a noun again:
| Flag |
Explanation |
| @P.NeedNoun.ON@ |
(Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised |
| @D.NeedNoun.ON@ |
(Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised |
| @C.NeedNoun@ |
(Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised |
For languages that allow compounding, the following flag diacritics are needed
to control position-based compounding restrictions for nominals. Their use is
handled automatically if combined with +CmpN/xxx tags. If not used, they will
do no harm.
| Flag |
Explanation |
| @P.CmpFrst.FALSE@ |
Require that words tagged as such only appear first |
| @D.CmpPref.TRUE@ |
Block such words from entering ENDLEX |
| @P.CmpPref.FALSE@ |
Block these words from making further compounds |
| @D.CmpLast.TRUE@ |
Block such words from entering R |
| @D.CmpSuff.TRUE@ |
Block such words from entering R |
| @P.CmpSuff.TRUE@ |
Mark that we have passed R |
| @D.CmpNone.TRUE@ |
Combines with the next tag to prohibit compounding |
| @U.CmpNone.FALSE@ |
Combines with the prev tag to prohibit compounding |
| @P.CmpOnly.TRUE@ |
Sets a flag to indicate that the word has passed R |
| @D.CmpOnly.FALSE@ |
Disallow words coming directly from root. |
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.
| Flag |
Explanation |
| @U.Cap.Obl@ |
Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj. |
| @U.Cap.Opt@ |
Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj. |
| @C.ErrOrth@ |

| @D.ErrOrth.ON@ |
tbw |
| @P.ErrOrth.ON@ |
tbw |
| @R.ErrOrth.ON@ |
tbw |
| @P.Pmatch.Loc@ |
Used on multi-token analyses; tell hfst-tokenise/pmatch where in the form/analysis the token should be split. |
| @P.Pmatch.Backtrack@ |
Used on single-token analyses; tell hfst-tokenise/pmatch to backtrack by reanalysing the substrings before and after this poin in the form (to find combinations of shorter analyses that would otherwise be missed) |
