separate prepositions into lemmas by case? #5

Open reynoldsnlp opened 4 years ago

Taken from https://github.com/reynoldsnlp/udar/issues/27.

It would be helpful to language learners/teachers to be able to search for instances of a preposition that govern a certain case.

For example, с can govern INST, GEN and ACC. Each of these could be a different lemma, e.g. с¹, с², с³. The superscript numerals are kind of a pain, and they are opaque. Perhaps this should be с+Pr+Acc, с+Pr+Gen, and с+Pr+Ins. This stretches the meaning of the case tags, where in this case it means that the preposition governs that case, rather than that it is in that case.

I think this is parallel to how transitive verbs govern certain cases for their object, and should be marked the same way. I would look to lang-sme for how this is done there. Maybe @lynnda-hill has some suggestions?
