While the abstract Numeral inherits only Cat[Numeral,Digits], some of the
concrete NumeralNNN of Numeral inherited everything from CatNNN.
Normally the compiler outputs a warning message when a concrete syntax
contains superflous lincats, but apparently not when they get included
through inheritance...
This does not seem to cause problems in the Haskell run-time system, but the
C run-time system fails to load PGFs with superflous lincats.
This problems shows up when creating application grammars that inherit Numeral.
The Phrasebook is an example of such a grammar.
- added a paradigm for alternative plurals
- fixed usage of alternative plurals in Numerals
- added a distinction between numerals and posessive pronouns
- verb omission and appropriate cases in some uses of to be/to have
- fixed declination of personal names
- added a gender parameter to pronouns (similar to Polish RG)
- vowel insertion before short adjective suffix
- don't generate short forms for relative adjectives (might need lexicon update)
- minor Phrasebook fixes
The support for variation of the noun depending on what cardinal it is
used with seems to be complete by now ("one child - two children -
five children" - Russian has different plural forms for "a child" when
counting). The case agreement in noun phrases that have additional
determiners besides numerals ("three little blind mice") is fixed too.
