For that, I made a shell counting how often the different paradigms are used in a monodix : #!/bin/bash fgrep "<e lm=" $1 | sed "s/.*n=\"// s/\".*//" | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn $1 is the name of the monodix, and if you want to keep only paradigms for nouns, just add | grep "_n$" at the end. The script works, with word descriptions <e lm=...>....</e> on one line. If it is not the case for every word, change it. After that, you will see for every big categories of word (nouns, proper nouns, adjectives, verbs), really few paraddigms are used very often (about 3 main paradigms, and not far from every word of the category with 5 paradigms). So let examinate what is written in these main paradigms (gender + plural form). Your new words may have a good probability to mach one of these main paradigms. If not, go further on the list. In that case, let wach paradigms with a name like root/suffix__n (there will be a / in the name). If you find a paradigm with a suffix matching the last letters of your noun (for singular form), it may be the good one. -------------------------------- Bernard Chardonneau (France) Phone : [33] 1 64 90 87 04 (from Sept to June except holidays) GSM phone : [33] 6 49 95 13 95 (french scholl holidays, C zone) Multilingual websites for my free softwares : http://libremail.free.fr and http://libremail.tuxfamily.org http://cyloop.tuxfamily.org (mainly translated with Apertium) My general website (in french only) http://bech.free.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
