# This file describes the rules used to generate inflections.
#
# The format is as follows:
#
#   <in pattern>|<in cat>|<in infl>|<out pattern>|<out cat>|<out infl>
#
# where:
#
#   <in pattern> is an input pattern to match as a suffix.
#     Lowercase characters are matched as literals.  Uppercase letters
#     have the following meaning: D=digit [0-9], L=any letter, ^=start
#     $=end, [AEIOU]=any vowel, [BCFGHJKMNPQRSTVWXYZ]=any consonant.
#     The same uppercase letter used in the output pattern unifies with
#     the actual character that matched the input.
#   <in cat> is the input category and must be one of: adj, adv, noun or verb.
#   <in infl> is the input inflection and must be one of: base, singular,
#     positive, infinitive, plural, comparative, superlative, present,
#     ing or past.
#   <out cat> refers to output category.
#   <out infl> refers to output inflection.
#
# The rules are stated to mean that if the input matches the pattern and is
# of the appropriate category and inflection, then the stated rule generates
# the output inflection.  Note that rules only need be stated in one direction.
# The reverse rules are automatically generated.  Duplicate identical rules
# are unique'ed out.
