Heh. No knowledge of grammar required. However, reading the first
two papers about link-grammar should make most things clear.

They're called word subscripts. They don't really have a well-defined
meaning, and are not meant to; they're just handy for organizing the

and verbs with .v but most of the rest are used rather loosely. Don't
read too much into these.
