Notes and Evaluations

• Initial coverage of corpus: ~34%
• By adding ci, di, ne, ak, Senegaal, and Yàlla, coverage went up to 42.3%.
• The top unknown form is now "gu," with 70 occurrences. It's unclear to me exactly how I should analyze it, given that in the Peace Corps dictionary, it is defined as a relative pronoun (which, who, whom) on p15, and in the UCLA dictionary it is defined both as a relative subject that goes between g-class nouns and adjectives (that) and as an indefinite pronoun (any).
• By fixing some errors in the code responsible for analyzing forms from our grammar page, coverage went up to 45.9%.

• There are 161 stems in the transducer.
• The list of most common unknown words is as follows:
