For a vast majority of words in +all languages, it is enough to give just one form. But sometimes more +forms are needed to get the inflection table right. + + +<h2>Filtering with patterns</h2> + +You may not want to see the whole table. Then you can filter it with patterns, each of which works like +"grep", using <tt>*</tt> to match any substring, either in the +features or in the forms: +<pre> + Eng N baby -Gen + Eng V die -dy* +</pre> +This is a front end to the Paradigms modules in the GF Resource Grammar. +See <a href=http://grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/synopsis.html>RGL +Synopsis</a> for available languages and paradigms. + + +<h2>Using custom paradigms</h2> + +(Another temporary hack, for GF experts:) If you want to use other paradigms than the smart +<tt>mk</tt> paradigms, you can prefix your input with <tt>!</tt> and +use the normal expression syntax of GF. For example: +<pre> + ! Ara brkN "طير" "فَعل" "فُعُول" Masc NoHum + ! Bul mkN041 "птица" + ! Pol mkRegAdj "duży" "większy" "dużo" "więcej" +</pre> +This also allows you to use structured terms: +<pre> + !
