Northern Sámi and Norwegian/Compounds

Compounds in sme->nob come in many shapes, those ending in a nominal include eg.:

• mielbargin ^miel<ShCmp><@←PPRED>$ ^bargat<V><TV><Der2><Actor><N><Ess>$
• vuođđofága ^vuođđu<N><Sg><Nom><Cmp><@HNOUN>$ ^fága<N><Sg><Nom>$
• allaskuvla ^allat<A><Attr><@→N>$ ^skuvla<N><Sg><Nom>$
• politiijastašuvnna ^politiija<N><Sg><Nom><Cmp><@HNOUN>$ ^stašuvdna<N><Sg><Gen>$

We could generalise some by having an output macro out_cmp_nom that that takes the nominal and assumes that variable "cmp-lu" is set to the first lexical unit. Then we need four rules for the above:

• <pattern-item n="cmp"><pattern-item n="verb">
• <pattern-item n="cmp"><pattern-item n="nom">
• <pattern-item n="adj"><pattern-item n="nom">
• <pattern-item n="nom"><pattern-item n="nom">

Each rule sets the "cmp-lu" variable to the first lu, and calls "out_cmp_nom".

The macro "out_cmp_nom" sets the case-prep, defnes, chunk gender/number, c_tag_pos (position of defnes tag in the chunk), and outputs

<chunk name="cmp_nom" case="caseFirstWord">
            <tags>
              <tag><lit-tag v="SN"/></tag>
              <tag><var n="c_syn"/></tag>
              <tag><clip pos="1" side="sl" part="mode"/></tag>
              <tag><var n="c_gen"/></tag>
              <tag><var n="c_nbr"/></tag>
              <tag><var n="defnes"/></tag>
              <tag><clip pos="1" side="tl" part="case"/></tag>
            </tags>
            <var n="cmp-lu"/>
            <lu>
              <clip pos="1" side="tl" part="lemh"/>
              <clip pos="1" side="tl" part="a_nom"/>
              <clip pos="1" side="tl" part="gen"/>
              <clip pos="1" side="tl" part="nbr"/>
              <var n="c_tag_pos"/>
              <clip pos="1" side="tl" part="gen-case"/>
              <clip pos="1" side="tl" part="lemq"/>
            </lu>
          </chunk>

(where pos="1" is the argument given to out_cmp_nom, ie. the nominal which becomes the second part of the chunk)
