 variable(+Word) is det

 rawnumber_number(+RawNumber:term, -Number:integer) is det

Arguments:

 propername_prefix(+Prefix:atom, +Gender:atom, +Type:atom) is det

 noun_prefix(+Prefix:atom, +Gender:atom, +Type:atom) is det

 verb_prefix(+Prefix:atom, +Type:atom) is det

 modif_prefix(+Prefix:atom) is det

Definition of prefixes. Support for words which are not in the lexicon. Undefined words have to start with a prefix (e.g. `n' or `v'), e.g.

A man v:backs-up the n:web-page of the n:pizza-delivery-service.

Notes:

• syntax disambiguates (and not morphology): the n:blah runs. AND the n:blah run. get different readings (singular vs plural respectively) the n:blah v:qwerty. (gets only singular reading, since this is arrived at first)
