[Lexicog] word list

[Bill Poser]

The larger Unix wordlist seems to include irregular forms,
e.g. strong preterites, but not the weak preterites
or the third person singular present in <s>. Similarly,
it does not include regular plurals of nouns. It
does include a lot of derived forms and compounds.

Curiously, the smaller list does seem to contain
regular inflected forms, making it, in terms of lexemes,
even smaller than the larger list than the raw
counts would suggest.

And of course, if one follows my suggestion of
extracting a word list from text, the raw result
will be a list of word forms.
