Combination of features

In the GENELEX application, Portuguese verbs have a maximum of 91 different inflected wordforms derived from different combinations of morphological features for simple morphological units (i.e. excluding compound forms). They are given in the following table.

We stress that there is no need to define any specification labelling the typically Portuguese inflected infinitive. In fact, it is suitably handled by combining `mood=infinitive' with the values of attributes number and person (the latter is decomposed in the Portuguese GENELEX model, as we explained under Person).
