Correction facility for Cologne declensions #11

Open funderburkjim opened 3 years ago

funderburkjim commented 3 years ago

Generally, rather complex algorithms are used to derive Cologne declension tables. It will sometimes be desirable to change a given Cologne declension table from its algorithmic value.

For example, we may believe that a published declension from some Sanskrit grammar is more likely correct than the algorithmic declension.

This could be done by changing the underlying algorithm; but often it is hard to decide where an algorithm needs to be tweaked to effect the desired change.

Thus, a rather simple correction facility has been implemented. We may effect a correction by manually entering a declension table for a given declension model and headword. Then, all such corrections will be used to override the algorithmic declensions.

This correction facility is implemented by the second step of redo.sh .

We take it for granted, right.

French go the manual way, so why should we not?
