ihypo should not be used #28

Closed fcbr closed 6 years ago

fcbr commented 6 years ago

We need to use ihyper. We are following the PWN terminology here. I.e., a synset like this:

w: field2
hyper: tract
g: a piece of land cleared of trees and usually enclosed; "he planted a field of wheat"

means that tract is an hypernym of field2.

So something like:

w: Dickenson
ihypo: field

is inherently wrong since field is not an instance hyponym of Dickenson. It is actually an instance hypernym, so the correct pointer is ihyper.
