And the affixes: http://esperanto.davidgsimpson.com/eo-affixes.html (short) http://steve-and-pattie.com/esperantujo/grparafx.html (longer)

Test set
<jacobn> Jim, Fran: I just looked at http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/batch.html and to me is looks like that "carefully selected text" I was talking about a week ago which would be needed to define the most important features to get covered. <jimregan2> Jacob, it's ok <jimregan2> we already have carefully selected text for English :) <jimregan2> ALL + plural <jimregan2> ALL + adj + plural <jacobn> what do you think, is http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/batch.html + their translations to Esperanto suitable as test set? <jimregan2> as one test set, yes <jimregan2> I have another few, and I promise I'll get to them on Wednesday <jacobn> Jim, I would like to include a " carefully selected text for English" in the en-eo test set. Do you have a better suggestion than http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/batch.html ? <jacobn> Fine <jimregan2> heck - I'll even set a reminder :) <jacobn> no hast necessary <jimregan2> newspaper - type text is best <jimregan2> I'll grab a few chunks from different books at project gutenberg <jimregan2> oh, you know about the '*' in the sentences, right? <jacobn> the * ?? <jacobn> no, never met it <jacobn> ;-) <jimregan2> at the start of a lot of the sentences, there's a '*' <jacobn> Oh that <jacobn> yes, Ive read it <jimregan2> that's a standard convention in linguistics to say 'this sentence is incorrect' <jacobn> I would start with the non-* sentences <jimregan2> just dump anything with '*' <jimregan2> they're not worth any effort
