3) Noun change and Verb change:

Before applying the morphological rules, a few morphological changes to the words are required. e.g. the noun dq=kk [kutraa] is changed to dq=;k [kutryaa] before attaching the suffix us to it. This is called noun change. Similarly in the past tense, verbs like gks.ks get changed to >kys. This is called verb change. t[ke gks.ks is changed to t[ke >k in the past tense.

4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We thank the Center for Indian Language Technology Solutions (CFILT) at IIT Bombay, which provided us with the ideal facilities and environment for this project. We thank Sushant S. Devlekar of CFILT for helping us out in the case mark insertion and morphology phases.
