DESCRIPTION

Top

This is a coarse stemming package for latin language. Words are filtered according to the following steps.

o converting 'j' or 'v' to 'i' or 'u'
o removing -que
o matching the end of word against the noun or adjective suffixes
o matching the end of word against the verb suffixes

Of course, it's not perfect. Any suggestion is always welcomed to better this package.
