Dutch Verb Conjugation 2

As described in my previous post, I am developing a Dutch verb conjugator that generates verb forms for the simple present and simple past based on basic verb information, e.g. aandrijven - dreef aan - heeft aangedreven.

The software is currently able to conjugate all regular verbs (available at www.muiswerk.nl).

To identify the stem of certain verbs, like aarzelen, correctly, it was necessary to maintain a list of valid stems. Initially, the proposed stem would be aarzeelen by doubling the e.



Most other problems were caused by borrowed verbs from English. For example the verb uploaden initially generated the stem uploaad by doubling the a. For the verb relaxen, I extended the rule to find wether it is a T-verb or a D-verb from 't kofschip into 't ex-kofschip.

Currently, I try to improve the software so that it can also conjugate irregular verbs. As could be expected this requires some extra coding.
