This is the Hill Mari disambiguation file. It chooses the correct morphological analyses in any given sentence context.

It was copied from the Eastern Mari cg3 file 18.11.21. tt.

The file first defines sentence delimiters and tags and sets. Thereafter come the rules, each rule is listed below.

Sentence delimiters

The delimiters are: “<.>” “<!>” “<?>” “<…>” “<¶>” sent

The Tags section lists all the tags inherited from the fst, and defines them for use in the syntactic analysis. The tags are documented in the root.lexc file, and here only listed for reference.

The next section, Sets, contains sets defined on the basis of the tags listed here, those set names are not visible in the output.
