Examples

The paradigms (inflectional classes) will be different depending on the dictionary format and the language in question. When in doubt, ask your mentor for help.

Using .dix

See also: Starting a new language with lttoolbox

When using lttoolbox you will also need to find:

  • the stem of the word, that is the part onto which inflectional endings are added.
    • e.g. the stem for "wolf" is "wol" because the singular is "wol + f" and the plural is "wol + ves".
  • the paradigm of the word. Paradigms in the .dix file come in pardef elements. Find the one that given your stem generates all the valid surface forms of the lemma.

If a paradigm for the word does not exist then you will need to add a new one. Ask your mentor for help with this.
