The Command ``ga'' (mallex)

Use the command ga (short for ``generate allomorphs'') to generate allomorphs. This is useful for testing allomorph generation from within mallex. When you enter the command, give a lexicon entry as argument. All allomorphs that are generated from this entry by the allomorph rules, are printed on screen. For example:


mallex> ga [surface: "john", class: name]
surf: "john", cat: [class: name, base_form: "abraham"]
If the rules create multiple allomorphs from an entry, they are displayed one after another.
