Can -i mean negative without preceding nda- ?

ana-kuznetsova commented 5 years ago

No, it cannot as far as nda- -i is a circumfix. But is there any way to avoid this problem? Now we are using two lexcicons LEXICON VerbNegPref for nda as preffix and LEXICON VerbsNegSuf as the end suffix.

ana-kuznetsova commented 5 years ago

We could use flag to solve this problem. But probably not the best idea to give up the whole structure just because one negative circumfix.
