Filter Output - to contain forms only from the Lexicon
This flow component filters out outputs is not known to Lexicon and keeps only those outputs which are known to lexicon. Only one output record for one input term.
This is equivalent to utilizing the output filter option -k:i:1 (when inflecting) and -k:d:1 (when making derivational variants). In addition, the part of speech and inflection information is filled out as well. All valid categories and inflection values are concatenated together in Lvg's output category and inflection bit vectors.
If the -m flag is specified, the part of speech and inflection information is appended to the information field in its string form.
For terms in the lexicon this flow option and the lexicon filtering flow option behave similarly. There is a difference between this flow option and the lexicon flow option that looks up part of speech and inflection information when the term is not in the lexicon (-fL flow option). This flow option will filter the term out, whereas the part of speech lookup option will guess and report back all possible categories and inflections.
