How to parse unusual ranks #50

Open mdoering opened 5 years ago

mdoering commented 5 years ago

e.g. uninomial Parodiae linea Parodiae Mottram of rank linea.

if the given rank to the parser is "linea" is there a way to determine the linea in the name is a rank not an epithet?

or can we at least fail instead of parsing a placeholder with specificEpithet linea?
