Fran, I agree with your suggestion, I'll do it this way.
Flammie, the only change you need to do in the bidix is to add an entry
like this:
<e r="LR"><p><l>'s<s n="gen"/></l><r></r></p></e>
This will allow your pair to get a <gen> lemma after the word in genitive
that can be used in transfer rules when translating from English. The other
way round is simpler, just make the rules add an extra <gen> tag to a lemma
to get its genitive form (e.g. house<n><sg><gen> will show up as "house's").
I will wait until the end of the week (in case someone else has any
suggestion) and notify you all when I commit the changes. Thanks!
