handling infixes in the Plan B sort

Posted by on 03 Feb 2014 in Activity log

If there are two instances of the same root's xml:id in a word's hyph, it's because the root morpheme is split up by an infix. These infixes need to be handled as follows:

-inchoative (xml:id="ʔ"), characteristic (xml:id="CHAR"), out of control (xml:id="OC"): delete the second/rightmost instance of the root. (That is, treat these infixes like suffixes.)

-repetitive (xml:id="REP"): delete the first/leftmost instance of the root. (That is, treat this infix like a prefix.)

This is an XML dictionary project based primarily on the materials compiled by the late M. Dale Kinkade during fifteen years of work in the 1960’s and 1970’s with more than a dozen native speakers of the language, but it also includes materials compiled by Ewa Czaykowska-Higgins in the early 1990’s.
