;
;this file contains the specifications for word transformations to be 
;attempted when a word is not found in the dictionary. The notation is:
;
;(<input pattern> <parts of speech> <root pattern> <root parts of speech>)
;
;The idea is that if the result of applying a transform is an entry in the 
;dictionary with the right word classification, then we have a match.
