The following prepositions cause the following noun to be eclipsed and there are different rules for each preposition.

LIST ECLIPSE-PREP = “" ("ar" Prep Simp SUGGEST) "" "" ("i" Prep Simp SUGGEST) "" ("chuig" Prep Simp SUGGEST) "" ("le" Prep Simp SUGGEST);

These prepositions always cause the nouns after them to be lenited:

LIST ART-LEN-PREP = “" "" "" "" "<ó>" "" "";

LIST NUM-PL-ADJ = “" "trí" "ceithre" "cúig" "sé" "seacht" "ocht" "naoi" "deich" "beirt" ;

Sets containing sets of lists and tags

This part of the file lists a large number of sets based partly upon the tags defined above, and partly upon lexemes drawn from the lexicon. See the sourcefile itself to inspect the sets, what follows here is an overview of the set types.

Sets for Single-word sets

LIST INITIAL = “a” “b” “c” “d” “e” “f” “g” “h” “i” “j” “k” “l” “m”
“n” “o” “p” “q” “r” “s” “t” “u” “v” “w” “x” “y” “z”
“á” ; INITIAL

Sets for word or not

WORD any word

SET REAL-WORD-NOT-ABBR = WORD - Num - Ord - (ABBR N) ; # This is former REALWORD-NOTABBR #!! REAL-WORD-NOT-ABBR
SET NOT-COMMA = WORD - COMMA ; #!! NOT-COMMA = * SET NOT-COMMA = WORD - COMMA ; #!! NOT-COMMA

Case sets

Note that imperative verbs are not included in these sets!

Some subsets of the VFIN sets

SET SG-V = SG1-V OR SG2-V OR SG3-V ;
SET PL-V = PL1-V OR PL2-V OR PL3-V ;

Pronoun sets

Adjectival sets and their complements

Adverbial sets and their complements

Sets of elements with common syntactic behaviour

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.

Border sets and their complements

Morphoponological sets

Grammarchecker sets

Genitive rules

N N => N N.Gen (When two nouns come together, the second noun has to be in the genitive case.)
N DefArt N => N DefArt N.Gen (When two nouns come together and there is the definite article between the nouns.)
N DetPoss N => N DetPoss N.Gen (When two nouns come together and there is a possessive adjective between the nouns, the possessive adjective does not cancel the rule of the second noun being in the genitive case.)
N A => N A.Gen When adjectives come after nouns in the genitive, the adjective must be rendered into the genitive case as well.)
VN N.Gen => VN N.Gen (When a definite noun follows a verbal noun, the definite noun has to be in the genitive case.)
