Making a Word List
Click "Create" to create the word list.
You will see a wordlist showing all the Amadup words in the Frog Meets Fish file.
Resize the wordlist window so that it is short enough to fit between the interlinear
text window and the dictionary window. Shift it to the left side.
Sorting a Word List from the Right
It is also very useful to look at a wordlist sorted from the ends of the words. This can
show patterns of possible suffixes.
Choose Window, Duplicate to duplicate the wordlist window.
Resize the second wordlist window to about the same as the first. Shift it to the right
side.
Change the sorting of the second wordlist window to sort the words from the end.
(Choose Database, Sorting. Turn on "Sort first field from end".)
Making a Word List of the Free Translations
One way to begin analysis is to identify possible words or roots, based on the free
translation. Sometimes a comparative wordlist of the free translation can help with this
process, so we will make one. To do that, we make another text corpus that looks at the
same files, but looks at the free translation field instead of the text field.
Choose Tools, Wordlist.
Click Edit.
You will see the Text Corpora dialog box.
We can save some work by modifying a copy of the Amadus Texts corpus instead of
making a completely new one.
Click Copy.
Change the Corpus Name to "Amadup Free Translation".
