Morpheme/word-part search

[aarppe]

In addition to partial matching, we'd eventually be able to implement search with morphemes aka word-parts (as well), as Arok's database has that information, as that also appears to be important to the MESC community (for their instructors in particular).

But we'd have to decide what would be the appropriate XML field for that, and how to best represent multiple morphemes. Maybe something like the following:

.........

E.g. for 'kiskinwahamakosiw'

kiskinw--ah<-amaw><-ikosi>

The hyphen matters as it distinguishes roots/initials, medials and finals from each other.

We do have access to a morpheme dictionary (Mühlbauer & Cook) that explains the potential meanings of the above elements, but perhaps only a half of what Arok uses.

Searching with these morphemes could behave similarly to preverbs, like miyo-, in that you get the morpheme first (if there's a definition), and then the lexical entries that have that morpheme.
