Figure 3-1: State transition diagram for the morph sequence FSM
Figure 3-1 shows the state transition diagram of the FSM. Each state of the
FSM represents a summary of the type sequence of the morphs which have been
stripped from the word being decomposed. It is this state which is passed as a
parameter to the recursive decomposition procedure. The “right context”
represented by each state is easily expressed and is summarized below. For each
