A flowchart over the sme files for morphological parsing

This flowchart gives an overview of how the sme sourcefiles are related. In principle, the other lg files are arranged in the same way.

The main lex file            Separate lex files for different POS (parts
                                                               of speech)

                                                  there are ca. 10 lex files.
