- then we can also send these to the client side for displaying the conjugated forms table
- [x] Parse attributive forms of adjectives.
- [x] Parse nouns that are productively created from verbs (tulyu, tìtusaron).
- [x] Implement external lenition. This should be simple in principle. But there are many special cases:
- doubly-lenited words (we shouldn't parse hitx as (ay-)kitx with external lenition, but on the other hand, we can parse saykitx as tsay-kitx with external lenition;
- words with a non-lenitable initial consonant... naively parsing them would return in two results for every such word (one with and one without external lenition);
- similarly when parsing kitx we don't want to output kxitx twice; instead we want to output it once with two possible derivations;
- many external lenitions are extremely unlikely to actually occur and can detract from the way-more-likely other result (heyn could be from keyn with external lenition, but it is way more likely just from heyn); we should probably have a scoring system and sort the results afterwards (or alternatively, just put the external lenitions always at the end);
- if we are in sentence search mode, we should check if there is a leniting preposition before the word, to see if external lenition is even applicable (and in word search mode, we should clearly mark external lenitions).
