O que significam as siglas depois da barra no dicionário do Firefox?

Question

O que essas letras maiúsculas significam depois do caractere / no arquivo en-US.dic encontrado na pasta \Firefox\Dictionaries ?

Por exemplo:

collectivism/M
collectivist/MS
collectivity
collectivization/M
collectivize/GDS
collector/MS
colleen/SM
college/SM
collegial

O que significa M ou MS ou GDS etc.? Tenho certeza de que há documentação on-line em algum lugar, mas não estou tendo muita sorte em encontrá-lo.

    

Answer 1

Os identificadores das letras referem-se aos afixos listados no arquivo .aff correspondente. Isso evita a necessidade de listar todas as formas de cada palavra no arquivo .dic . Veja " Entendendo o formato de arquivo do Affix " para mais informações.

O mesmo formato é usado pelo corretor ortográfico do MySpell .

Depois de pesquisar por mim mesmo, finalmente encontrei esta página com uma boa explicação.

Each rule is in the .aff file for that language. The rules come in two flavors: SFX for suffixes, and PFX for prefixes. Each line begins with PFX/SFX and then the rule letter identifier (the ones that follow the word in the dictionary file:

PFX [rule_letter_identifier] [combineable_flag] [number_of_rule_lines_that_follow]

You can normally ignore the combinable flag, it is Y or N depending on whether it can be combined with other rules. Then there are some number of lines (indicated by the ) that list different possibilities for how this rule applies in different situations. It looks like this:

PFX [rule_letter_identifier] [number_of_letters_to_delete] [what_to_add] [when_to_add_it]

For example:

• SFX B Y 3
• SFX B 0 able [^aeiou]
• SFX B 0 able ee
• SFX B e able [^aeiou]e

If "B" is one of the letters following a word, then this is one of the rules that can apply. There are three possibilities that can happen (because there are three lines). Only one will apply:

able is added to the end when the end of the word is "not" (indicated by "^") one of the letters in the set (indicated by "[ ]") of letters a, e, i, o, and u. For example, question → questionable able is added to the end when the end of the word is "ee". For example, agree → agreeable. able is added to the end when the end of the word is not a vowel ("[^aeiou]") followed by an "e". The letter "e" is stripped (the column before able). For example, excite → excitable.

PFX rules are the same, but apply at the beginning of the word instead for prefixes.
