[open-humanities] Open Databases for Verb Morphology

[Gabriel Bodard]

Dear James,

This is really interesting stuff, and especially so if it results 
from/in the combining of different open source libraries.

You might try to get in touch with Neven Jovanovic, who has I believe 
also modified Diogenes/Morpheus code to build intelligent spellchecking 
for Latin.

I think classicists in general would be very interested in anything you 
come up with. Would you be interested in listing your tool at 
<http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Category:Tools> and/or adding 
comments/discussion/updates to the relevant pages in 
<http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Category:FAQ>?

Cheers,

Gabby
