By "noun class" I mean what in latin grammar I was taught is a declension.

Basically, if I see "masinaham" I want to see both VTI and VTI-1. It helps when I'm learning conjugations.

And to be specific, verb inflectional classes in European-based traditional grammar are conjugations - sometimes conjugation also referring to the entire inflectional paradigm related to a particular verb of a particular conjugation/class.

At some point we might want to present prototype words for each inflectional subtype, rather than, or alternative to, the linguistic codes. This would be similar to us presenting lay labels in paradigms instead of the more linguistic-y ones.

E.g., for NAs, we could have something like the following:

NA-1: asikan 'sock' (standard)
NA-2: ayapiy 'net' (Vowel-Glide final NA Stem)
NA-3: askihk 'kettle, pail' (standard except for underlying stem-final -w)...
NA-4: niska 'single-syllable standard, takes singular suffix -a)
NA-4w: wâhkwa 'louse' (single-syllable noun ending in a glide)

So, an NA-1 would be an asikan-type animate noun, and so forth.

The XML for crk-to-eng already does have the inflectional subclasses for both nouns and verbs in the <lc> element.

For whatever reason, the itwêwina code shows this subclass only for nouns, but not for verbs, e.g.:
