Question

How do I delete an affix in my transfer rules?

Answer 1

There are two methods for deleting an affix. You can either set the value for that affix (attribute) to blank or you can not declare that the affix (attribute) gets outputted.

1. Method 1. Use the let element to set an attribute’s value to blank. See image below:
   
   Here we are overriding whatever is in the tense attribute (a_tense) with a blank string. Whenever the tense affix gets outputted, it will be outputted as nothing.
2. Method 2. In the Output element, explicitly declare each attribute of the word that you want to output. Don’t include the attribute that needs to be deleted.
