Unpointing the Hebrew (alm)

 My code may not work by abstraction, but the idea of a stem can be drawn out (abstrahere) of the results. Here is a-l-m in the test data. Again the multiple explicit rules about allowing hireq to instantiate as yod have been reduced to just one: let it happen always for this stem. Another explicit rule is that qamats vav becomes 'iv'. This is an odd rule that happens to only 4 stems. I wonder if another rule might take over. No, it's basically a spelling correction to the WLC and occurs only once. So it is in this case a standard suffix form and is only a 'rule' for this transformation that I am doing. 

This stem also allows tsere to become a yod for these word forms: v/!\iv, v/!\v, vl/!\iv, v/!\vt, l/!\vt, t/!\nh where ! stands for whatever is left of the stem in the word form. These look to me like plurals and possessives. Possibly this will provide a 'smarter' algorithm.

It's fair to say though that some possessives may never occur in the corpus, so let's see what develops.

This is another strong stem. No part of it is ever missing from a word form. It is also another multi-valent word signifying porch (my domain 'city') and a part of a phrase signifying coincidence or some suitable place as in the phrase al-mqom ploni almoni. Also the sense of dumb in the domain of quiet, the word for gut, a body part, and the word for sheaves.
