Old todo

• Perform an intersection on the monolingual dictionaries. (Making them consistent)
  • We only want stuff in the Irish analyser that we can translate into Scottish Gaelic -- so, in order for a word to be included, it should be in both the Irish monolingual, bilingual and the translation in the Scottish Gaelic monolingual. With the words for which we don't have translations we can just comment them out -- or move them to a separate file in dev/
• Add all missing closed categories to the monolingual dictionaries.
• Do some fixing of the bilingual dictionary
  • Some restrictions probably need adding.
  • Some conjunctions are marked "cnj" and not subdivided for "cnjcoo", "cnjsub" etc.
• Making constraint grammar rules more CG-like
• Write rules to do initial mutations for generation.
• Write some transfer rules.
  • For example to do tenses, number agreement, etc.
