# This file describes two rules for an affix class named VERB:
# * Words in affix class VERB can be prefixed with "re"
# * Words in affix class VERB can be suffixed with:
# * "ed" if they do not end in "y"
# * "ied", deleting the trailing y, if they do end in "y"
# Define the affix class we're going to use:
AF 1
AF VERB
# The fields of PFX and SFX are either:
# ?FX <class> <cross> <count>
# or ?FX <class> <remove> <add> <match> [...]
# where the ? may be either P (for prefix) or S (for suffix).
# The first type of line is a header, which describes how many of this type of
# ?FX there are for this class. The second type of line describes how to
# construct a new word using this affix:
# For words in <class>, if they end in <match>, you can remove <remove> from
# the end being considered, then add <add> at that end.
# Where the end being considered is the beginning for PFX and the end for SFX.
# The meaning of <cross> and of the trailing stuff that is allowed in the second
# type of line (the morphology) is obscure to me (ellyjones@).
