Hoi,
The database design for OmegaWiki had a distinction between the concept and
all the derivatives for them. The lexemes were all connected to the concept
and independent of the spelling they are connected to the concept.
Obviously this is language dependent.
So bumblebee is more complex than just "instance of" noun. It is an English
noun. "Hommel" is connected as a Dutch noun for the same concept and
"hommels" is the Dutch plural...
Obviously.
Thanks,
GerardM
