compare to Huet, future passive participle

Opened this issue · 3 comments

This issue summarizes differences and similarities noticed in the comparison of future passive participles (gerundives) ; the methodology is described in the readme for huetcompare/parts-potp.

stem comparison

huet_stems_potp.txt summarizes the stems that appear in future passive participle forms in the SL_parts.xml file from Huet.

  • 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 future passive 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.

  • Huet provides a 'kind' for each participle

    • 1 = gerundive ending in 'ya' (i.e., not one of the next two)
    • 2 = gerundive ending in 'Iya'
    • 3 = gerundive ending in 'tavya'

    Since this is informational only, we do not include it in the program outputs

  • There is a bug in the SL_morph.dtd file. There, the pfutp element is
    described as having one of three sub-elements (gya,Iya,tavya). However,
    this classification is actually given in SL_parts.xml by the value of the gn attribute (1,2,or 3) as mentioned above.

  • For reasons of sandhi, some gerundives formed with the tavya suffix actually
    end in wavya. These are misclassified as gn="1" in SL_parts.xml

pysan_stems_potp.txt summarizes the stems that appear in the future passive participle stems of
MW-verb-potp.txt of the pysan system.

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

This comparison is organized into categories:

  • 1564 cases of stems which appear in both sources
  • 3430 cases of stems which appear only in pysan.
  • 406 cases of stems which appear only in the Huet source

declension table comparison

huet_decl_tables_potp.txt contains 5910 future passive 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. Such declensions are of the very common form of adjectives ending in 'a'; so no significant differences would be expected between pysan and Huet
computations for a given potp stem .

  • underlying root of any participle is NOT specified in the SL_parts file
