Hi,
it would be interesting to test compounded words. How do I proceed?

I'm training on the pair Swedish (se) - Danish (da) before attacking
Norwegian (no) - Swedish (se). Compounded words are very frequent in the
Scandinavian languages and can be constructed at any moment (yet
understandable) by anyone. Can Apertium understand a completely new
compounded word, say "almanacksrensare" (= calendar cleaner)?

First of all I thought of common constructions with prefixes that
reinforce or diminish the meaning of a word, like the Swedish prefix
"jätte" (Norwegian: "kempe") (= giant) . You have very common
constructions like "jättekul" (= giant fun), "jätteliten" (= giant
small! i.e. very small!) and "jättebra" (giant good).

Yours,
Per Tunedal
