Affix Look up in Words

Open Steve-Miller opened this issue 10 years ago • 0 comments

So I ran the tool that removes affixes from words in the variety. I think the doc calls it the stemmer. This came up with about 10 affixes under Input / Varieties. Most of them were a surprise, and I don't think most of them are correct, but I wanted to check them.

How?

I have the Find Words utility. So I click on that put 'ti' to look for and tell it to look in Form, because 'ti' has been identified as a suffix in my V (verb) category. This dutifully goes out and finds all instances of 'ti' in words, including the first part of [tiβi], which is a N (noun). This is not very helpful.

What I would really like is a list of verbs that have been identified by the utility as having [-ti] as a suffix.

One suggestion how to do thisː Paratext does something similar with its key term look up. If the same principle is applied here, I would double-click on 'ti' on the affix list. This would give me a list of verbs with that suffix.
