+-- Aarne Ranta 2003

+-- This is an API to the user of the resource grammar 
+-- for adding lexical items. It give shortcuts for forming
+-- expressions of basic categories: nouns, adjectives, verbs.
+-- 
+-- Closed categories (determiners, pronouns, conjunctions) are
+-- accessed through the resource syntax API, $resource.Abs.gf$. 
+--
+-- The main difference with $morpho.Swe.gf$ is that the types
+-- referred to are compiled resource grammar types. We have moreover
+-- had the design principle of always having existing forms as string
+-- arguments of the paradigms, not stems.
+--
+-- The following modules are presupposed:
