Shelley,

	KIDEVAL computes lammas from %mor tier. To get the same result with FREQ you need to add to FREQ options " +sm;*,o%  *t*CHI ".

However, for FluCalc, it would seem to me that excluding a single word from the other language would skew the analysis.  Of course, it makes sense to exclude whole utterances in the other language that are marked with codes like [- spa] and Leonid agrees that it makes sense to add this facility to FluCalc.

I thought that tagging the English words in the Spanish files meant that they would be ignored in Spanish counts, but that does not appear to have happened (I cross-checked word count with FREQ). Is there a way to count just the Spanish words for flucalc?
