Additions

  • We added a file umu.corpus.large.txt, which contains over 10K characters. Unfortunately, due to a lack of available resources, we are unable to reach 100K words.
  • We added 100 stems to our bilingual dictionary
  • We expanded our morphology (lexd) in 5 ways
    • Imperatives
      • (1) VTA Imperatives (for both third and first person commands)
      • (2) VAI Imperatives (for stems ending in vowels and consonants)
    • Negative Independent Indicative Mode for three of the verb classes
      • (3) VII
      • (4) VAI
      • (5) VTA
      • We have not implemented negatives for VTIs as that involves more complex rules regarding both the plurality of the objects and the ending of the stems.
  • We added 4 more twol rules
    • (1) Accent shifts for plurals - placed on the new penultimate vowel after a suffix is added
    • (2) Special case of VAI imperatives when stem ends in -xiin
    • (3) Realizing -oo for verb stems with consonant endings
    • (4) Realizing shaa as shaaw when the subsequent word begins with an "a"
