    <Paragraph position="1"> Every different set: constitutes a morphological class, and every lexicon entry Calls exactly into one of these classes. ALtogether there are about 70 different ones.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> For each class two lists are stored: One contaJnLng the set of suffixes belonging to the class, and another one containing the syntactic interpretation for each oF these suffixes. Super\] reposed on this scheme is information about 'umlaut' and prefix 'ge'. rPhey occult oii\] y J n a few pos i tions, dependi ng on the word cat_egory. \]):very possJ b\]e comb\] nation \] s represented by a col: ta i n hUmOr ( call vn I uo stored a\] ong wi th each \] oxJ con entry.</Paragraph>
