Semantics are classified with

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

• +V→N
• +V→V
• +V→A +Der/ку мыныку ужаку +Der/ны мыныны ужаны +Der/Он мынон ужан +Der/Оно мыноно ужано +Der/тозь мынытозь ужатозь +Der/тэм мынӥсьтэм ужасьтэм +Der/Эм мынэм ужам +Der/Эмтэ мынэмтэ ужамтэ +Der/Этӥ ordinals

Dialectical variation

• +Dial/North
• +Dial/South

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

%^@ This apparently causes :о +V+Ind+PrtII:%>еме%>%^@ +V+Ind+Fut:%>о%>%^@ +V+Ind+PrtI:%>и%>%^@

• %^Ы2 morpheme initial disappears after vowel
• %^Е2 morpheme initial disappears after vowel
• %^И2 morpheme initial disappears after vowel
• %^О2 morpheme initial disappears after vowel also ло after stem-final а
• %^Е3 Acc, Ill е э ы
• %^Ы3 Acc, PX in some nouns
• %^А3 Ine а, я
• %^Л3 ужаны:ужало
• %^К3 нюлэс:нюлэсК3

• %^М3 син:синМ3

• %{еэ%} morpheme initial vowel е э , e.g. Acc

And following triggers to control variation

• %^RusJa Эстония:Эстониез
• %^RusJaErr Эстония:Эстонияез
• %^NotRusJa no words in ия ие
• %^SYNC
• %^ЫLossVar This is used for мыныны: мыны ~ мын
• %^ЫLoss This is used for мыныны: мын

Symbols that need to be escaped on the lower side (towards twolc):

• »
• «

• (escaped with square brackets, to avoid collision with > as morpheme boundary)

• < (escaped with square brackets, to avoid collision with < as morpheme boundary)

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: | @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. | @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. | @U.Cap.Obl@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj. | @U.Cap.Opt@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj.

The word forms in Udmurt language start from the lexeme roots of basic word classes, or optionally from prefixes:

• ABBR_udm2x ; abbreviations Testing 2019-11-07 Testing 2019-11-07

• A_NEWWORDS ; These are new adjectives without translations
• N_NEWWORDS ; These are new nouns without translations
• V_NEWWORDS ; These are new verbs without translations

ABBREVIATIONS these still need development 2015-11-03
