Eckhard Bick - VISL

noun belonging to the 'bird' class of semantic prototypes
Identification number helps finding root entries, for example when crossreferencing
to the translation file TRADLIST 10 , or from an inflexion form entry to
the relevant root entry. Only root entries have an identification number in this field,
other entries have referring numbers in the second last field. The root word 'alongar-
', for instance, has the identification number 2133 in field 10, and the word's other
stem forms ('along-' and 'alongu-') refer to it in their number 9 fields.
10 TRADLIST is compiled from the lexicon file, extracting all lines with translation equivalents, together with the
relevant discriminators. At run time, TRADLIST is ordered by identification number.
