Improving the src/morphology/stems files
Regular derivation we do in the affixes/ files.
If all verbs may be turned into nouns by adding -ing, then do something along these lines:
LEXICON Verbs
bark vmorph ;
kick vmorph ;
sing vmorph ;
LEXION vmorph
+V+Inf ## ;
+V+Prs+Sg3:%>s ## ;
+V+Der/ing:%>ing nmorph ; ! <=== here we derive
LEXICON nmorph
+N+Sg: ## ;
+N+Pl:%>s #;
In addition to that, the lexicon Nouns may also contain an occational lexicalised noun like shopping.
