== NAME

whitakers-words - latin parser and translator

== SYNOPSIS

*whitakers-words* ... 


== DESCRIPTION

*whitakers-words* is designed to manipulate latin words, in any form they might
be seen in a text.  It will spot prefixes, U/V switches, suffixes, and many other
possible mustations.

To use *whitakers-words*, simply call the executable.  An onscreen help
will appear describing the basic program usage.  Enter in the Latin word(s)
you wish to translate, and words will output an analysis for each of them.

== OUTPUT

The table shows the breakdown of the word into it's parts, the type of word
(eg, V for Verb, PRON for Pronoun), and its conjugation or declension.
It then displays the case (for verbs, this is the tense, voice, and
mood).  It then shows the person (ie, **S**ingluar, or **P**lural), and the
gender (eg, **M**asculine).  Underneath that, information on the
stem is shown, and beneath that, possible translations.

If the word is ambiguous in Whitaker's processing, each possible breakdown
will be shown.  The ones that share a stem will be listed together, with one set of
translations.  The ones that involve different stems will be shown in
new sections.

Multiple words entered on one line are separated and processed in order.
If *whitakers-words* notices a prefix or a suffix, it will treat it as a
separate word.

To read more about whitakers-words, see the Readme installed at 
_/usr/share/doc/whitakers-words/Readme.md_, or the help displayed at program start.

Whitaker's word is an old program, and the best documentation for its
behavior is its' ADA source.
