Dictionary search

The lexical forms for each language are sought in a Berkeley Database. You only have to specify in which file it is found with the DictionaryFile option.

The dictionary file can be build with the indexdict program you'll find in the binaries directory of FreeLing. This program reads data from stdin and indexes them into a DB file with the name given as a parameter.

The input data is expected to contain one word form per line, each line with the format:
form lemma1 tag1 lemma2 tag2 ...
E.g.
abalanzaría abalanzar VMIC1S0 abalanzar VMIC3S0
bajo bajar VMIP1S0 bajo AQ0MS0 bajo NCMS000 bajo SPS00
efusivas efusivo AQ0FP0
