Semantics are classified with

Derivation

Derivations are classified under the morphophonetic form of the suffix, the source and target part-of-speech.

+V→N +V→V +V→A +Der/jA = actor name !!2012-10-30 +Der/Adj = for derivation of adjectives without specification +Der/st = for derivation of manner adverbs +Der/min = Deverbal nouns +Der/miin = Deverbal nouns +Der/tOin = Deverbal arvaamaton and Denominal adjectives +Der/toist = ykstoist (11), kakstoist (12)

Morphophonology

To represent phonologic variations in word forms we use the following symbols in the lexicon files:

Archiphonemes

{aä} {oö} {uü} %> V1 V2 V3 AÄ1 OÖ1 UY1 %^E1 %^TS K1 %^NoGrad Nogradation

Triggers to control variation

{front} {back} %^ShVws %^LVws %^ShCns %^LCns %^WCns %^StrCns %^AtoO %^ÄtoÖ %^OddSyll arvata, arvant but arvanneet %^StretchSyll2 creates ommeena from omena %^SyllBr syllable break for venät and lyhyt %^RVws %^WGStem weak-grade stem for ompel to ommel

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.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.

This is to facilitate the ‘teens’ in “-toist” This can also be used as a condition for further combinations e.g. tens and hundreds

@C.CARD@
