The Lemmatizer tab is used to reference the selected transliterated word to the lemma entry in the Lemma list. It has several text input fields and a toolbar. Using the Lemmatizer is the most important step to perform the subsequent lexical search in the database, to create word indexes or to conduct all kinds of lexical analyses.
NOTE: You can use the lemmatizer only if the Sign Text Editor tab has been selected.
- Activate: Click Activate to enable the lemmatization, click it again to deactivate it after you are done with lemmatizing.
Text input fields
- Selected Word
This field displays the word that you had previously selected in the "Sign Text Editor". You can change its transliteration (e.g. to correct your input) and the new list of lemmas will be displayed in the field below. The lemmata corresponding to the altered transliteration appear only after moving first to another lemma and then coming back to the lemma you are working on! There are three sections in this field: Lemma, Flexion and Translation.
The section Lemma is composed of three fields. The Lemma-list is automatically generated, based on the entry in the "Selected Word". Choosing a lemma from the list will display its "word corpus number" in the WCN field. The lemma itself is displayed in the field to the right of WCN.
The section Inflection and Translation show the default inflection number "3" and
translation options for the selected lemma. The inflection number and translation can either be
selected from the available ones (lower text box, this feature is not yet implemented) or
manually entered (upper text box). The values in the "Translation" field depend on the 
Language Selection on the
right.

lemma editing and continue to the next unlemmatized word
Confirm current lemma editing and continue to next, not yet inflected word
Confirm the current inflection code of the lemma and continue to next word, where the inflection code has a default number "3" (i.e. has not been manually defined yet).
