Romance-type verbs

[A Walker Scott]

I'm sure there must be a help topic for this, but I can't find it. How does one set up Romance-type verbal categories where each of several categories for verbs (like -are, -ere, -ire) take slightly different endings, and then assign each of those endings to the proper category, so one doesn't attach an -are ending to an -ire verb while processing interlinears and such?

In the “Intro to Morphological Parsing” document (under Help/Resources), it is described under the topic of “Inflection Classes”.  The examples are for other languages, but it applies to this.

Another topic that might be relevant is “Stem Names”.  You may need a combination of both structures to accomplish what you want.

Thanks for pointing me to this section of the documentation. Now I can be more precise about what I need.

What I can't figure out how to do is the second half of  (27) 2. a -- tag the allomorph as belonging to a particular class. The document simply tells me to do it. It doesn't tell me HOW to do it, and that's rather un-useful. Is there anywhere that instructs me on HOW to accomplish this task? I already have the verbs divided into their classes. And I have many of the inflectional morphemes entered. I just need to tag the morphemes as to which category they apply to.

You may need to check the Show Hidden Fields box in order to find the Inflection Classes field. Here is an example from French:

Thank you! I actually keep the "show hidden fields" box checked, because half the fields I use are "hidden." But I had overlooked this CLEARLY marked field. I feel rather derp-y at the moment!! Problem solved!

In the Blue Triangle next to each field, the menu includes a “Field Visibility” option.  You can use that to set certain fields to “Always Visible”.  Then those fields will keep showing even when “Show Hidden Fields” is off.

That wouldn’t have helped you in this case, but it is something to keep in mind for the future.

(Note that if there is a Sense-level field you are doing this with, you need to set this value both at the Sense level and the Subsense level, if you have Subsenses.)

I used the verb stem feature to define the Portuguese conjunctivo and it worked well.
