Additional POSs



I've been tracking the discussion on POS additions (and
not participating much as I've had some distractions.) I'd
like to bring some closure to it, so Stuart and I can proceed
with implementing the resulting changes.

What I propose is:

- for the いい/よい adjectives, split the entries into いい and よい
versions with "adj-i" on the よい and "adj-ix" on the いい. To do
this we need to add "adj-ix" to the database tables first.

- for くれる, add a new POS: "v1-s". The other contender was "v1-ik".
I think くれる is more a special case than a "real" irregular conjugation,
and more like the other two xxx-s types of verbs we currently tag.

- for だ let's go ahead with a "cop-da" POS. I know not all agree, but
it's probably got more of a case behind it than some others such as
"cop-desu".

Cheers

Jim
