Faroese Noun morphology

Basic noun lexica

Taken from the dictionary

The nominal morphology is added in three layers. In this first layer we add gender tags and morphophonological diacritics. The next two layers are for indefinite and definite suffixes, respectively.

Lexicons still to be allocated

Irregular nouns

These are lexica with number 0, they have no inflectional morphology.

k0 for januar etc.

kv0 for ommudidd

h0 for indeclinable neuters

irregular_nouns just gives the tags for the indeclinables

Lexica for words belonging to two paradigms.

These are simply split (h11/12 to h11 and h12, etc).

These lexica split into sg and pl lexica, and add +N and gender tags. Thereafter it points to Layer 2, the case suffixes
