That's right. As a trial, if you give me a few examples, and how you want these in the output, we can start from there. > > There is not a 1:1 mapping between the term checker postags and the LT > postags.

If you can express the conditions, then I can write a transform based on those conditions. E.g.

Again I do not understand the English explanation, perhaps an XML example?
