Variation in Dialect

It is common in Arabic manuscripts of the Gospels to have different forms for the same inflected word. For example, the same lemma or canonical form of a word may have different forms of broken plural. The current type of analysis allows the scholar to perform a search based on the dialectic pattern of a broken plural identified in a specific text. In this case, the search operation will return all the lemmas or lemmata affected by this pattern. A more advanced search may return the geographical or historical distribution of the lemmas affected by a specific inflectional pattern.
