New version for Classical Japanese #108

Closed devorair790 closed 1 year ago

Add better support for Classical Japanese (i.e. conjugations)

JMdictProject commented 1 year ago

Not really sure what is being requested. JMdict primarily covers contemporary Japanese, and only has a relatively small number of old terms which are typically tagged as [arch]. Old verb forms have POS tags such as "v2a-s" (for 二段活用). Verb inflection/conjugation is not really part of the dictionary.

A new version of JMdict (ie. CJMdict) specifically designed to support Classical Japanese

That's a whole new project. It would be good if someone could get it going, but it's beyond the scope of the current project.
