Summary

Incoming words are processed by a morphological analyzer to yield possible stem and suffix values.

For each result possible lexemes are retrieved from the lexicon.

For each possible partial word description and for each possible lexeme that it may be related to possible WFCs are invoked.

Each such successful invokation results in a full word description (in DAG form) which can be used in later stages such as parsing.
