Notes
We ran into substantial problems with building our transducer. Specifically, due to the limited grammar resources and the complexity of the Even language, despite having over 50 morph tests our transducer only actually supports noun cases for two nouns. Thus, in order to disambiguate we added a test verb element to disambiguate between nominative and accusative cases. While this shows that our rule works, it doesn't actually help to disambiguate our corpus. This is particularly the case since our corpus only has text from the Bible which is entirely written in past tense. Due to all of these complicating factors, we have decided that we do not have the time/resources to effectively continue working on Even and will be switching to a different language for the duration of the class.
