splitting of the pronoun "feara makkárge"

[lynnda-hill]

The attributive multi-word pronoun "feara makkárge" is automatically tokenized with a separate particle "ge" before any Constraint Grammar analysis.
For grammar rules it is a disadvantage to have a particle between an attributive pronoun and its nominal head.
It is also strange when two separate elements are analyzed as a MWE just to split the element in two.

Example sentence:

Olbmuid dieđut eará máilmmeosiin bođii mátkegirjjálašvuođas, man čállin ledje feara makkárge johttit dego mišunárat, jesuihtat, sisafárrejeaddjit, šlávagávppašeaddjit ja soalddáhat.

So what do you want the output / analysis to be?

[lynnda-hill]

I would like to get:

"<feara makkárge>"

instead of:

"<feara makkár>"

[snomos]

After the latest changes in the clitics.lexc file, the analysis is now:

"<feara makkár>"
	"feara makkár" Pron Indef Attr <W:0.0> @OBJ> #11->11
"<ge>"
	"ge" Pcle Foc/Neg-ge <W:0.0> @PCLE #12->12
	"ge" Pcle Foc/Pos-ge <W:0.0> @PCLE #12->12

To avoid this split, we need to lexicalise the pronoun including the clitic. That will give us two analyses that needs to be disambiguated in the mwe-dis.cg3 file. If that is still not good, we need to remove feara makkár from the clitics altogether.

Any preferences, @lynnda-hill and @duomdaamaendra ?

[snomos]

According to the lexc code, feara makkár can take any clitic. Is this true? What is the status of ge in feara makkárge?
