// The transliteration scheme used for our stringdefs matches that used in the

// We discriminate dependent vowels by adding a leading "_" to their stringdef

// character).

// The list below is derived from figure 3 in the paper.
//
// We perform the stemming on the Devanagari characters rather than
// transliterating to Latin, so we have adapted the list below to
// reflect this by converting suffixes back to Devanagari as
// follows:
//
// * within the suffixes, "a" after a consonant is dropped since
// consonants have an implicit "a".
//
// * within the suffixes, a vowel other than "a" after a consonant
// is a dependent vowel (vowel sign); a vowel (including "a")
// after a non-consonant is an independent vowel.
//
// * to allow the vowel at the start of each suffix being dependent
// or independent, we include each suffix twice. For the
// dependent version, a leading "a" is dropped and we check that
// the suffix is preceded by a consonant (which will have an
// implicit "a").
//
// * we add '{a}', which is needed for the example given right at
// the end of section 5 to work (conflating BarawIya and
// BarawIyawA), and which 3.1 a.v strongly suggests should be in
// the list:
//
// Thus, the following suffix deletions (longest possible
// match) are required to reduce inflected forms of masculine
// nouns to a common stem:
// a A i [...]
//
// Adding '{a}' only affect 2 words out of the 65,140 in the
// sample vocabulary.
//
// * The transliterations of our stems would end with "a" when our
// stems end in a consonant, so we also include {virama} in the
// list of suffixes to remove (this affects 222 words from the
// sample vocabulary).
//
// We've also assumed that Mh in the suffix list always means {Mh}
// and never {M}{h}{virama}. Only one of the 65,140 words in the
// sample vocabulary stems differently due to this (and that word
// seems to be a typo).
