Hi Chris,

thank you for the information. I believe morphological analysis will be very 
important for sword later. What direction are you moving to concerning this? 
What about morph searching (e.g. search all optatives)? Is that a frontend 
issue?

The GBF spec has only a small (actually unusable) number of morph tags.

A = aorist
P = plural
S = singular

Should we try to get this updated (new gbf spec) using your grkmorph 
definition rather than putting proprietary tags into gbf? And what about 
hebrew? (http://www.shamash.org/tanach/tanach/text/bhs.info/bhsmorph.txt?)
