Girard Aquino a écrit :

1     SFX - indicates this is a suffix
2     D   - is the name of the character which represents this suffix
3     Y   - indicates it can be combined with prefixes (cross product)
4     4   - indicates that sequence of 4 affix entries are needed to
               properly store the affix information

   1. does field 2 mean that there is a pre-requisite of 4 "conditions"
      or affix rules for everything under the "name of the character" in
      field number 2 to run?

Field 4 is the number of rules the flag you set on a lemma will try to apply on it, i.e. the number of lines under the first line.

   2. what values can i assign to field number 2? are there rules on how
      to assign names?

By default, one-letter flag. But you can use two-letters flags with the command "FLAG long", or numbers from 0 to 65000 with the command "FLAG num".



1     SFX         - indicates this is a suffix
2 D - is the name of the character which represents this affix
3     y           - the string of chars to strip off before adding affix
                         (a 0 here indicates the NULL string)
4     ied         - the string of affix characters to add
                         (a 0 here indicates the NULL string)
5     [^aeiou]y   - the conditions which must be met before the affix
                    can be applied

   1. when working with PFX, does [^aeiou]y mean that the first letter
      should not be a,e,i,o,u and that the second letter should be "y"?
      accordingly, doing y[^aeiou] in PFX, means first letter should be
      "y", and second letter should not be a,e,i,o,u?

Yes.
The condition field is a minimal regular expression.


   1. if i want to represent all words that end with a vowel, and add
      the suffix "ng", is the following syntax correct?

SFX G Y 1
SFX G   0 ng    aeiou

it will apply the rule to words which ends with "aeiou" only. I guess no word ends like that.

Write :
SFX G   0 ng    [aeiou]
