Resources for machine translation between Judeo-Tat and Kalmyk

Kalmyk uses the dative/dative-locative case to mark nouns that indicate location and answer the question "where?". TODO: Judeo-Tat does not mark this.

(jdt) TODO JDT → (xal) Давид хаана төрскн хотнд "the town of David (meaning is closer to 'town where (King) David was born')"

figure out what's going on here

(jdt) е чор руз → (xal) Эн дөрвдгч өдрнь "a fourth day"
(jdt) е<adv> чор<num> руз<n> → (xal) Эн <n> дөрвдгч <num><ord> өдрнь<n><px3sp>

it's not clear that this is a good translation

(jdt) е жуьфд журубьо → (xal) паре өөмсн "a couple of socks"
(jdt) е<art> жуьфд<class> журубьо<n><pl> → (xal) паре<conj> өөмсн<n><pl>

(xal) саваго → (jdt) битоб "impatience"
(xal) саваго<n> → (jdt) битоб<n><neg>
(xal) Эн дөрвдгч өдрнь → (jdt) е чор руз "a fourth day"
(xal) Эн <n> дөрвдгч <num><ord> өдрнь<n><px3sp> → (jdt) е<adv> чор<num> руз<n>
(xal) паре өөмсн → (jdt) е жуьфд журубьо "a couple of socks"
(xal) паре<conj> өөмсн<n><pl> → (jdt) е<art> жуьфд<class> журубьо<n><pl>
