question about MOR xl output

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Shelley,
     "scat" means "syntactic category" or "part of speech".  The .uxl file produced by the "mor +xl" command  is saying that it doesn't know the part of speech, because
it doesn't recognize the word.  It prints it out in this format, so that you can put in the right form and then add it to the lexicon.  However, as you say, most of the problems here
involved spelling and such.

When I ran MOR +xl to find out what might give MOR some issues, I got the print out below.  I know why each of the words are there (misspellings, Spanish, small i instead of I, etc) but I was wondering, what does 'scat' stand for?
