Hi Okonkwo, Thank you for your continued interest in Apertium!
My main comment on this latest version of your proposal is that you don't mention morphology. This should be a main focus of your work—not just expanding the lexicon, but making it productive. Also, given the range of non-suffixational morphology in Igbo, I think it might be a good idea to implement the dictionary in lexd instead of lexc. Daniel has offered to help convert your existing work. What do you think? -- Jonathan 12 apr 2021, B.e. tarixində 07:33 tarixində Okonkwo Ifeanyichukwu <ifeanyijaspe...@gmail.com> yazdı: > > Thanks, Sevilay, Hèctor and Ngadou Yopa for reviewing my project proposal.
