And following triggers to control variation

We have manually optimised the structure of our lexicon using following flag diacritics to restrict morhpological combinatorics:

The word forms in UNDEFINED language start from the lexeme roots of basic word classes, or optionally from prefixes:

POS with minimal morphological variation

Noun inflection

Nouns in the Estonian language inflect for case and number.
