For much of my own code, I find lists of string literals to be tedious to
enter, and easy to drop a ' character. This style is a little easier on the
eyes, and harder to screw up.

'case_def_gen':['case_def gen null'.split()],
'nsuff_fem_pl':['nsuff null null'.split()],

Shouldn't that be:

'case_def_gen':'case_def gen null'.split(),
'nsuff_fem_pl':'nsuff null null'.split(),

Otherwise you get a list inside a list.

'abbrev' :       T('abbrev null null'),
'adj' :              T('adj null null'),
'adv' :             T('adv null null'),}

(Yes, I know PEP8 says *not* to add spaces to line up assignments or other related values, but I think there are isolated cases where it does help to
see what's going on.  You could even write this as:

Absolutely! There are a few of the Python style PEPs that I disagree
with, this looks like another one.
