step0: Extraction of raw verb information from MW records.

The script redo.sh remakes verb_step0a.txt from mw.xml. This file has information for all kinds of verbs presented in a raw semi-xml form. See step0/readme.txt for further details of the format of this file.

Some attention is also given to comparison of verb_step0a with an earlier version verb-prep4.out. The readme_compare.txt file discusses this comparison.

step1

The simple (non-prefixed, non-denominative, non-whatever) roots from step0/verb_step0a.txt are selected, and the class-pada information extracted into a more easily parsed form. The result is verb_cp.txt.
