Evaluation

  • At the start of the evaluation, there was 43.57% coverage, and the top unknown form was 'bad,' meaning 'and.' Another commonly missed form was 'ruh,' meaning 'too,' as well as 'dei,' meaning 'to hit,' 'to belong to,' or, as an adjective, 'proper.'
  • At the end of the evaluation, there was 47.64% coverage, for an increase of 4.07%.

Notes

  • Two of my abstract noun tests fail
    • I wasn't sure how to make a rule that said that only an adjectival prefix of ka forms abstract nouns
    • As the above didn't work, I didn't yet take the time to create the jing prefix, which goes along with the ka-formed abstract nouns
  • I also didn't work with the agentive marker yet
    • Agentive noun is formed when the particle 'nong' attaches to a verb to make a noun
  • Comparatives should fail, as well, and as should most superlatives
    • There are often more than two words involved in forming the comparative, and I'm not sure how to deal with this.
    • One superlative case works, which is the only two-word case. The rest involve three words, which again, I'm not sure how to deal with
  • At the start of the evaluation, there was 43.57% coverage, and the top unknown form was 'bad,' meaning 'and.' Another commonly missed form was 'ruh,' meaning 'too,' as well as 'dei,' meaning 'to hit,' 'to belong to,' or, as an adjective, 'proper.'
  • At the end of the evaluation, there was 47.64% coverage, for an increase of 4.07%.
