Change מאת to always have a lemma of m/854 (versus m/853)? #37

Closed AndyHubert closed 6 years ago

After noticing that you had changed a few instances of this sort in recent updates, I took a look at the situation in general and had a conversation with Joel via the parsing project slack:

Me: This form (with or without suffix) currently has a lemma of m/853 (direct object marker) 147 times in our data, and a lemma of m/854 (preposition) 26 times. Given your suggestion that we would parse this as two prepositions in all cases, should the lemma for all of them be m/854?

Joel: Yes, that is correct. Languages do weird things sometimes, but as far as I know, the direct object marker never attaches to the preposition מִן in Hebrew. All these cases should be labeled m/854 and NOT m/853.

Thoughts?

I've been dealing with these when I came across them. It makes sense that they should all be changed. I found 150 instances of m/853. It appears with a suffix in Gen 26:27, which should also be m/854. In view of this discussion, we should change all m/853 to m/854.
