compare to Huet, past active participle

Opened this issue · 2 comments

This issue summarizes differences and similarities noticed in the comparison of past active participles ; the methodology is described in the readme for huetcompare/parts-pap.

stem comparison

huet_stems_pap.txt summarizes the stems that appear in active past participle forms in the SL_parts.xml file from Huet. Two noteworthy details are

  • the same stem value is used, regardless of the gender of the declined form. Specifically, there is no specific mention of a feminine stem.
  • the underlying root of any participle is NOT specified in the SL_parts file. Some computation (probably involving the roots appearing with active past tense conjugational forms in SL_roots.xml) could backtrack to find the root from which a given participle stem was derived; but it would be useful to have this root identified within the records of the SL_parts file.

pysan_stems_pap.txt summarizes the stems that appear in the active past participle stems of
MW-verb-pap.txt of the pysan system.

The two lists of stems are compared in
compare_stems_pap.txt.

This comparison is organized into categories:

  • 524 cases of stems which appear in both sources
  • 1190 cases of stems which appear only in pysan.
  • 275 cases of stems which appear only in the Huet source

These statistic are identical to those for past passive participles, as
seen in compare_stems_ppp.txt. This is reasonable,
since the active past participle stem is formed by adding the suffix vat to the passive past participle stem.

declension table comparison

huet_decl_tables_pap.txt contains 2397 passive past participle declension tables derived from Huet's SL_parts.xml.

Each of these appears on one line of the file.

There is currently no file of pysan generated declension tables for past active participles.
