Hi, thank you. I've read the Wiki and looked into the apertium-nn-nb.nb.dix file.
Apparently, this is solved in a less transparent way in the nn-nb pair than in the examples in the Wiki. In the beginning of the dictionary, there are a lot of pardefs treating compounds, that I don't understand. Can anyone explain? <pardef n="cp-both\Ø_LR_s\S__case" c="cp-L and cp-R. Analyse both -Ø- and -s- in compounds, generate -Ø- if cp-L"> <e r="RL"><p><l></l> <r><s n="cmp"/></r></p></e> <e r="LR"><p><l></l> <r><s n="cmp"/><s n="compound-only-L"/></r></p></e> <e r="LR"><p><l>s</l> <r><s n="cmp"/><s n="compound-only-L"/></r></p></e> <e> <p><l>-</l> <r><s n="cmp-split"/></r></p></e> <e r="LR"><p><l>s-</l> <r><s n="cmp-split"/></r></p></e> <e r="LR"><p><l></l> <r><s n="compound-R"/></r></p></e> <e> <p><l></l> <r></r></p></e> <e r="LR"><p><l>s</l> <r><s n="gen"/><s n="compound-R"/></r></p></e> <e> <p><l>s</l> <r><s n="gen"/></r></p></e> </pardef> The noun "kjempe" is advertised as possible to use in compounds, yet there is an entry for the adjective "kjempehøy" (= very high/tall). Why? BTW I've found only one similar Danish word: "kæmpestor" (very large). I don't know if there are any more.
