Morphophonology

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

Archiphonemes and fluctuation symbols

• %{eØ%} vowel loss in oiged:oiktan
• %{uØ%} vowel loss in sapug:sapkan
• %{iØ%} vowel loss in paltin:paltnan
• %{aØ%} vowel loss in samal:samlan
• %{oØ%} vowel loss in zerkol:zerklon
• {aä}
• {oö}
• {uü}

More archiphonemes (Protoletters for xfst)

• %^DEVOICE = haikta: haig
• %^PEN Control final vs penultimate
• QAQ1
• QAO1
• QÄQ1
• EH1
• QEQ1
• INE1
• ZD1
• ZS1
• V1
• AO1
• A1
• EI1
• ZS1
• ZD1 These are for developing underlying morphology rules
• D1
• E1
• U1
• I1
• AÄ1
• OÖ1
• UY1
• V1
• V2
• V3

And following triggers to control variation

• {front} front vowel stems
• {back} back vowel stems
• %^RmVow for removing vowels
• %^WGStem
• %^TS
• %^RVow
• %^LVow
• %^LCns
• %^WCns
• %^AtoO
• %^ÄtoÖ
• %^OddSyll
• %^StretchSyll2
• %^SyllBr
• %^E1

Boundary symbols

• %> =
• %- =

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.

Flag diacritic	Explanation

@U.number.two@	Flag used to give arabic numerals in smj different cases ;
@U.number.three@	Flag used to give arabic numerals in smj different cases ;
@U.number.four@	Flag used to give arabic numerals in smj different cases ;
