Version where SSK is used as a base
C-verbs always use C-stem as a base.
V-verbs always use V-stem as a base.
D-verbs use different bases as shown in table below.
form | D-verb base | ending after vowel | ending after consonant |
---|---|---|---|
IZ | V-stem | 0 | a |
RY | V-stem | 0 | i |
SS | C-stem | ru | u |
RT | SS form | ru | u |
IZ | SS form | re | e |
MR | V-stem | yo | e |
(su/ku use C-stem for RY form as well. ~n/0 always use C-stem as they have no V-stem.)
The good: Much simpler.
The bad: "But why?"
IbaDaiRon:
I'm starting to have second thoughts about this "adding to the SS" thang....
Just kidding!
I don't know if it's the sort of reanalysis people would naturally make; works for now, though, eh!
So, thought about an interface yet? Spartan spare or bells and whistles? (How good is your Perl, by the way? I messed around with what I've got on my site; plain vanilla version, but there are workarounds to handle Japanese....)
