[Lexicog] Shoebox problem: I need a parsing database

[Susan Gehr]

I'm having a parsing problem that I think a parsing database will solve, but
I'm having trouble setting up the parsing database.  Here's an example of
the problem.

\t chavúra pu'ípakara.
\e She never came back.

\t chavúra pu'ípakara.
\m chavúra
\g finally
\p ADV

Here's how  pu'ípakara should parse:

pu'-     ípak             -ara
NEG    come_back   NEG

But that is never offered to me as an option, only

pu'-     ípa     -kara
or
pu'     íp     -kara

which are possible but incorrect parses.

I've got a second database of the same type as my main lexicon, but I don't
know how to set up a record that will force a correct parse.

Can someone help me?

Thanks!
