Vowel harmony issues with some nouns

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Trying to analyse the sentence: "Төньякта Русия киң фронт белән Төньяк Боз океаны диңгезләренә чыга."

Looks like another vowel harmony problem, could be related to #3.

$ echo "төньяктә" | apertium -d . tat-morph
^төньяктә/төньяк<n><loc>/төньяк<n><loc>+и<cop><aor><p3><pl>/төньяк<n><loc>+и<cop><aor><p3><sg>$^./.<sent>$

This is also not working: көньяктарак ... we're going to add {ъ} for now, but is that a permanent solution, @jonorthwash ?

Yes, I believe that's the correct permanent solution in this case. Other words of this shape would almost definitely take front-vowel endings. The reason this word doesn't is because it's a compound, which isn't really reflected in the spelling.

Is that answer all that's needed to close this issue?

That's a question to @ftyers , I think :)

төньякта is fixed, but көньяктарак is in another issue: #5
