Lemmatization Process & Principles

1. Substantives are lemmatized to the adjective TITLE unless the substantive has an independent meaning that is unintelligible from the adjective. This includes ethnonymns (e.g. ACARNANIS/A > ACARNANES/N; ROMANVS/A > ROMANI/N), even if the adjective form is unattested.
2. Participles (including perfect passiave) are lemmatized to the verb TITLE unless the participle has an independent meaning that is unintelligible from the verb or if the verb is not extant independently
3. Cardinal & ordinal numbers on cardinal TITLE for numbers greater than 3.
4. For compound numbers, lemmatize each component, e.g. 72 = two words SEPTVAGINTA and DVO
5. Collatoral forms (e.g. different spellings, deponent forms with the same meaning) are lemmatized to main TITLE where possible
6. Abstractions (e.g. “Luxury”) are not generally lemmatized as a separate proper name TITLE but the general TITLE for the noun.
