Yes @goodmami:
For oewn-abruptly4.02.01.., the intended target is most likely oewn-abrupt5.00.00.sudden.00
This target is confirmed by PWN 3.1, where the pertainym link indeed goes to abrupt.
And the derivation loop for unicycle already already existed in PWN 3.1 (and even 3.0), without any likely alternative, so it seems appropriate to simply delete it.
Fortunately, checking all relations shows that there are no other self-loops than these. But considering that the problem has existed at least since PWN 3.0 without being noticed, it is certainly worthwile to check all relations for self-loops.
Existing relation
In the 2021 pre-release, two senses have self-loops. Here are the relevant fragments from the XML file:
oewn-unicycle__1.06.00..
(derivation)oewn-abruptly__4.02.01..
(pertainym)Proposed change
For
oewn-unicycle__1.06.00..
, it's not clear if there is some intended other sense that should be the target of the derivation, so it should probably be deleted.For
oewn-abruptly__4.02.01..
, the intended target is most likelyoewn-abrupt__5.00.00.sudden.00
Motivation
The testing scripts already check for loops in hypernyms and a few domain relations, but self-loops are bad no matter what relation it is.
