So I have the ERtr_en module now, but as far as I can figure in Xephos it's useless. Turkish is an agglutinated language and almost no words in an actual text like the Bible appear in their root or stem form as found in a dictionary. Ergo no words (except a handful of conjunctions, numbers, etc. that sometimes have no suffixes) you click on to look up in the dictionary even have a chance of coming up with an actual meaning. Even if you know how to parse words and type the stems into the dictionary lookup bar, it rarely has them and throws the closest match (Alphabetical?
