Support for different sides of PATTERN

[agricolamz]

Hi,

There is a nice feature for modeling split morphemes. However it is only applicable for LEXICON calls in the PATTERN section. Is it possible to extend this behavior to the PATTERN sections?

Here is my example:

PATTERNS
:Stem Stem

PATTERN Stem
Root GenderMarker

LEXICON Root
живжив:жи

LEXICON GenderMarker
<m><sg>:в
<f><sg>:й

I expect it to produce the following:

живжив<m><sg>:живжив
живжив<f><sg>:жийжий

Cheers!

Manipulating LEXICONs like this is relatively straightforward, since you have to pull the segments out of another data structure anyway. PATTERNs, on the other hand, are compiled directly to FSTs, so to do this I would probably want access to generic transducer math operators, which would be fairly easy if I had build this on HFST, but in fact I built it on Lttoolbox, which has almost no general operators by comparison.
