What was done

Lexicons in bak.lexc were changed to correspond to the ones in tat.lexc, missing lexicons and tags were added to bak.lexc and new rules were added to bak.twol.

The stems from tat.lexc were translated into Bashkir and added to bak.lexc and bidix.

Words from the Bashkir frequency list http://lcph.bashedu.ru/index.php?go=wikilist_lemmas were translated into Tatar and added to tat.lexc and bidix.

Using Russian-Tatar and Russian-Bashkir dictionaries new stems were added to tat.lexc, bak.lexc and bidix.

Using Wikidata new toponyms were added to tat.lexc, bak.lexc and bidix.
