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 and twol) 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 plurality of objects.
• We added 4 more twol rules
  • (1) Accent shifts for plurals - placed on the new penultimate vowel after a suffix is added
  • (2) (TO BE ADDED)
  • (3)
  • (4)
