I'll add that too.
If the user first types in the new word, the tool could give a list of guesses based on how that word ends. E.g. if the dictionary has box box__n fox box__n ox ox__n fix fix__v and the user types in "paradox", it could give suggestions sorted by longest common ending of a word using that pardef (and sub-sorted by frequency of pardef usage): box/fox ox fix Here two have the same ending, but one is more frequently used than the other. Then, as you show the suggestions, you could apply them to the input word: user> paradox computerbrain> 1. box, fox, …: paradox/<n><f><sg> paradoxes/<n><f><pl> computerbrain> 2. ox, …: paradox/<n><f><sg> paradoxen/<n><f><pl> computerbrain> 3. fix, …: paradox/<vblex><imp> paradoxed/<vblex><past> paradoxes/<vblex><pres><3sg> computerbrain> Select 1, 2 or 3, or type a word to search for user> 1 You could use a trie to quickly look up reverse lemmas to find matching pardefs. But maybe this is taking it a bit far :-) A list of pardefs sorted by frequency would probably be good enough for most usage. -Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
