Dear All,

When working in a multi-language setting some features occurring in different languages have the same surface value while having different semantic.

The problem appears for example for Case=Com.

In Irish, Com is the value representing the 'Common' case (Nominative, Accusative), while in Estonian, Com represents the Comitative.

Maybe the Irish 'Com' could be replaced by 'Nom,Acc', or a new value could be defined.

@MathieuDehouck : thank you for reporting the discrepancy.

Case=Com is part of the universal feature inventory (i.e. not a language-specific extension) and is defined as standing for comitative: http://universaldependencies.org/u/feat/Case.html#com-comitative--associative . It should not be used with different meanings.

@tlynn747 : could you please check this?
