0. Customize the analyzer cascade ...
Mark analyzers in order of priority, where 1 is highest priority. Leave unwanted analyzers blank.
The current options are:
- "Fiero/Rhodes" (follows the Fiero double vowel system used in the Eastern Ojibwa-Chippewa-Ottawa Dictionary by Richard Rhodes),
- "Corbiere" (follows the Nishnaabemwin Online Dictionary by Mary Ann Corbiere and Rand Valentine),
- "No Deletion" (does not enforce vowel deletion, best suited to pre-syncope eastern texts like those in Angeline Williams' "The Dog's Children").
- "Western" (NEW ANALYZER! This analyzer reflects the Border Lakes variety of Ojibwe. It was written by Professor Christopher Hammerly (source here), and the lexicon is drawn from the Ojibwe People's Dictionary by Nora Livesay and John Nichols. It is an honor to post it here at Professor Hammerly's request. Note: Professor Hammerly's labeling conventions differ from mine, so anything beyond the "Narrow Analysis" field in the "Full Analysis" option will not work ... for now. Stay tuned for further updates. It is super exciting to put up an analyzer for such a major branch of Anishinaabemowin!).
These are strict analyzers! This means that they will fail to analyze almost any word that diverges even slightly from "correct" spelling rules. We may find a way to put relaxed analyzers on this site, but they are large and difficult to incorporate into the site's static design (which is otherwise a good thing).
