PARSING  CODE
1.      Cuts:
/        marks   the   limits   of  primary  words   and  word  groups   in  S
//      stands  between  words   and  word  groups   in  apposition
1       marks  a  secondary  cut
/      marks  a  tertiary  cut
()      encloses  conjunctions
[]       encloses  sentence  connectors
■*  =    goes  with,  modifies
2.      Arabic  numbers:     An  arabic  number  is   set  over  the  word  or  head
term  of  the  subject,   main   (finite)   verb,   and  each  unit  of  the  pred-
icate,   as   follows:
1  =     word  or  word  group  in  the   structure  of   subject
2  =    main   (finite)   verb
3  =     in  predicate:   word  or  word  group  with  head  term  in
nominative  case
4  =     in  predicate:   word  or  word  group  with  head  term  in
accusative  case
5  =     in  predicate:   word  or  word  group  with  head  term  in
dative  case
6  =     in  predicate:   word  or  word  group  with  head  term  in
genitive  case
In  addition,
A  =     in  predicate:   any  adverb  not   included  in  another  word
group;   a  word  cluster  headed  by  an  adverb
i  =     in  predicate:   any  infinitive  not  included  in  another
word  group;   a  word  group  headed  by  an  infinitive
S   (s)   =     in  predicate:   any  included  independent   (dependent)
sentence
ρ  =     prefixed  to  any  word  or  word  group  initiated  by  a
preposition
3.      Parts  of   speech:     Lower  case   letters  are  used  to  designate
parts  of   speech   (except  for  adverbs:   upper  case):
b  =    pronoun
d  =    pronominal   adjective
η  =    noun
a  =    adjective

g  =    participle
i  =    infinitive
ρ  =    preposition
A  =    adverb
A  plus  sign  is  added  to  the  basic  designation  for  word  clusters
headed  by  a  part  of   speech.
+  =     word  cluster   (e.g.   4n+,   5g+)
4.    In  the  analysis  of  nominal  word  clusters,
t  =     the  article   in  any  gender,   number,   case
5.    Adverbs,   negatives,   conjunctions  and  particles:
A  =     adverb
Ν  =    negative  particle
Β   =    subordinator
C  =    conjunction
D  =    connector
Q  =    question  signaling  words  and  word  groups
W  =    wish  signaling  words  and  word  groups
Ε  =    exclamation  signaling  words   and  word  groups
Η  =    nuance  words,   sentence  modalizers
I   =    attention   getters
6.    Additional  designations:
Sentence   types   are  marked  with  roman  numerals
Ρ  =     the   passive   form  of  a  sentence  type,   e.g.   HIP
Τ   =     the   transformation
a     =     comparative  degree  of  an  adjective
