2a. Senjecan lexicon
Posted by: "C. Brickner" [email protected]

Hi!
I have finally finished counting the number of words in the Senjecan lexicons.
Counting only the lemmata, there are 3,418 words. Counting compounds and
derivative words the total would be 3-4 times greater.
Some time ago there was a thread about the percentage of verbs in a lexicon.
I have figured that out. 49% of the lemmata are verbs. What is the
significance of that, if any?
Charlie

My lexicons never get anywhere near that!

I haven't found the thread, so I don't know the significance. But aren't nouns
more likely to be derived or compounds?
