I. Inputs

• inflVars.data.ascii
• LEXICON.ascii

II. Outputs

• File: inflVarsTable.data
• Format:

  Base Form

  Inflectional Variant

  Category

  inflection*

  
  * inflection: simple inflection + spvar

III. Algorithm

• Get inflectional variants
  shell>GetInflectionalVariantsTable inflVars.data.ascii inflVarsTable.data.org
  • Read in inflVars.data.ascii
  • Go through each line and print out (to inflVarsTable.data.org)
    • base form (lowercase)
    • inflectional variant (lowercase)
    • category (in name)
    • inflection (simple inflection in name)

• Get spelling variants
  shell>GetSpellVars LEXICON.ascii spellVarsTable.data.org
  • Read in LEXICON.ascii and convert LexRecords to Java Objects
  • Go through each LexRecord
    • combine citation and spelling variants (lowercase)
    • for each possible pair of base|spvar, print out (to spellVarsTable.data.org)
      • base form
      • spellingVars
      • category (in name)
      • spvar

• Combine spellVars and inflVars and then sort and unify
  shell>cat inflVarsTable.data.org spellVarsTable.data.org |sort -u > inflVarsTable.data

• Check pure ASCII
