- The rule based inflectional morphology will take each character of the word from RIGHT to LEFT, traverse the trie network matching the character with the key of the node.
- When no more nodes can be traversed, the rules on the node(s) at the lowest level are then checked to see if they can be applied. That is, does the input category and inflection of the input term match the input category and inflection of the rule.
- If so, the output term is made by replacing the input suffix with the output suffix, and the output category and inflection get set to what the rule states.
