Speling tools

The Speling tools are a number of scripts and programs which process Speling format files, they consist of:

• split-speling.py -- To split a full-form list into manageable chunks for paradigm chopper
• speling-paradigms.py -- To generate all possible paradigms for a given full-form list
• paradigm-chopper.py -- To merge identical paradigms.

And can be found in Apertium SVN under trunk/apertium-tools/speling.
