The is used to mark affixes that are not realized in a clearly isolable phonological & shape. For example, the form cannot be broken down into a part corresponding to “men” the stem and a part corresponding to the plural marker, because one cannot say “man” that the vowel marks the plural. For this reason, the word is coded as n|man&PL. “e” The past forms of irregular verbs may undergo similar ablaut processes, as in “came,” which is coded v|come&PAST, or they may undergo no phonological change at all, as in which is coded v|hit&PAST. Sometimes there may be several codes indicated “hit”, with the after the stem. For example, the form is coded & v|be&PAST&13s. “was” Affix and clitic codes are based either on Latin forms for grammatical function or English words corresponding to particular closed-class items.
