Derivations are classified under the morphophonetic form of the suffix, the source and target part-of-speech.

Morphophonology

To represent phonologic variations in word forms we use the following symbols in the lexicon files:

And following triggers to control variation k loss in am-verbs, also z to ts

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

The word forms in Hill Mari start from the lexeme roots of basic word classes, or optionally from prefixes: The assumption is that xml files with names pos.xml will provide the source material for the initial pos.lexc _LEXICON Pos_ entries
