[Lexicog] shoebox

[Nicholas Thieberger]

Apologies if this has already been dealt with, but is there a way of 
making Shoebox/Toolbox parse a minimal rather than a maximal unit? A 
colleague has a problem with parsing a Papuan language in which a 
form, e.g. geneba can be parsed maximally as gen-eba, but the actual 
parse is ge-n-e-ba. This is highly productive in the language and 
could be dealt with by inserting hyphens in the text, but I hope 
there is a more elegant solution.

Thanks

Nick
