• Exercise: Build an FSM of the morphology of the Amharic word
“ጀመረ/gemere”

• Take Amharic word with at least ten inflection and build an FSM of the
morphology for them?

 Morphology is the study of form and structure.

 Morpheme is the smallest linguistic unit which has a meaning or


grammatical function. Words are composed of morphemes (one or more).
There are some complications with this simple definition[1].

 There are two Classification Of Morphemes Free and bounded ; Bound


cannot appear as a word by itself ; where as Free can appear as a word by
itself; often can combine with other morphemes too.

 Other classification Root nucleus of the word that affixes attach too. Affix a
morpheme that is not a root; it is always bound(suffix , prefix , infix ,
circumfix).

 othe clasiffication Inflection inflection creating various forms of the same


word lexeme; derivation creating new words.

 Finite State Machines (FSMs) are a useful abstraction for sequential


circuits with centralized “states” of operation.

 A finite-state machine is a formal model of any system/machine/algorithm


that can exist in a finite number of states and that transitions among those
states based on sequence of input symbols[2].
 ጀመረ ጀመር-ኧ
 ጀመረን ጀመር-ኧ-ን
 ጀመረህ ጀመር-ኧ-ህ
 ጀመረው ጀመር -ኧ-ው
 ጀመራቸው ጀመር-ኣ-ቸ-ው
 ጀመረኝ ጀመር -ኧ-ኝ
 ጀመረሽ ጀመር-ኧ-ሽ
 ጀመራችሁ ጀመር-ኣ-ች-ሁ
 ጀመራችሁት ጀመር-ኣ-ች-ህ-ኡ-ት
 ጀመራት ጀመር-ኣ-ት
