So, after the christmas break I am back working on my conlang database project. Currently I am developping a java program which dissects the data from eldamo and sorts and arranges it into the tables, and ultimatively will directly load it into the database. As an intermediate developping / debugging step I am writing the tables to csv files for easy verification of the code.

+Paul Strack As I am doing this I am stumbling across some of the (so far) very few errors of the eldamo file. I just extracted the "speech" attribute of all word pages (in order to create a word type table), and there's a few things I found odd / noteworthy:

- There's a few combined types which appear in two different orders, I presume these are not intentionally different from each other:
-- "n adv" vs. "adv n"
-- "n adj" vs. "adj n"
-- "conj adv" vs. "adv conj"
-- "adv prep" vs "prep adv"
-- "adv interj" vs. "interj adv"
- Once "card" appears, in all other occurrences you did put "cardinal": http://eldamo.org/content/words/word-4008647877.html
- Similar for "suf" vs. "suffix", here the latter one appears once only: http://eldamo.org/content/words/word-3792660851.html
- Similar for "pref" vs. "prefix", prefix is used 4 times in total.
- There's one occurrence of "v" instead of "vb": http://eldamo.org/content/words/word-529403071.html
- For G. siriol "flowing" some major mix up of the fields has happened; "sindi" appears as word and "siriol" as word type: http://eldamo.org/content/words/word-2199144701.html
- There's two words who are missing the speech attribute, even though the xsd file states there always should be one:
-- http://eldamo.org/content/words/word-4199786153.html
-- http://eldamo.org/content/words/word-2768164367.html

I hope this helps to fix some things :) For your convenience, here's the entire output I got from my program: http://pastebin.com/5kSJpf6j

I will also try to add a few additional checks to my code which may help to find a few more of these minor flaws :)
