Common words and forms missing from LEMLAT

[nevenjovanovic]

We have tested LEMLAT on a corpus of classical Latin texts from a university reading list. The corpus contains some 23,700 words and 8,538 different word forms: Terence's Adelphoe, Horace's Odes Bk. 1, Tibullus Bk. 1, Seneca's Letters Bk. 1 (all editions from the PerseusDL collection). Beside various forms of personal names (and some typos in our sources), there were 40 word forms not recognized by LEMLAT; a tiny percent of all forms -- but the list is below. Some reasons for not recognizing the forms seem to be orthographical (ë, omitted -p- in emta, demsi, oe in foeneraret; words joined instead of separated -- illiusmodi). Some have to do with meter in comedy - the elided -n', from -ne, is regularly not recognized by LEMLAT. Some missing forms are fairly common: norimus, nosse.

I propose that the forms from the list below be added to the LEMLAT database.
