Do-it-yourself Basque case machine!

Please enter the word you wish to decline. Lexical entries, please, the script can't analyse nouns which already are declined. A declined noun will be treated as a root and affixed accordingly (leading to some rather bizarre results).

Please note that I have just chosen some of the cases in Basque - there are a couple more (locative genitive, instrumental etc). These aren't problematical to derive automatically, I just did a subset this time for reasons of space and time. The last few cases will be included in a more complete version.

 Furthemore, I have not addressed the question of NP's in indefinite form (whether they are determined by numerals or by zein"which") - the mugagabeaform. Thus, this script only deals with the case marking of definite NP's.

ENTRY:

This is a rather simple and preliminary version. If you notice any bugs (e.g. if it generates any incorrect results), please let me know!


Try out my Basque verb morphology generator!

Or why not pay a visit here to my Spanish verb morphology generator? (...and let me know how many mistakes you find!).
The Spanish morphology generator will ONLY work with Navigator and MSIE version 4 or later!! All you will get earlier versions is a row of error messages.
