Hi, I see. There isn't a standard Apertium way to do things? Some more general questions:
1. Can the developer choose to treat some inflections, e.g. comparison, in either the monodixes or the bidix? What are the pros and cons for either solution? 2. See below.

Is autoconcord the standard way of treating this or are there other ways?
