+
+Here are some examples of morphological lexica turned into top-level GF grammars.
+
+Top level is useful because it supports analysis and synthesis by normal 
+e.g. JavaScript tools.
+
+The simplest example is in the following three files:
+
+  Eng.gf       -- abstract syntax (English irregular verbs)
+  EngDescr.gf  -- concrete syntax showing form descriptions
+  EngReal.gf   -- concrete syntax showing real forms
+
+Compile the result with 
+
+  gfc --make -f js EngDescr.gf EngReal.gf
+
+Then use Eng.js in place of GF/lib/javascript/grammar.js
+
+Other examples:
+
+  Fre*  -- French irregular verbs
+
+NB: there are issues on character encoding of abstract verb names in Fre.
