Grammar Engineering Frequently Asked Questions

I have a lexical rule that seems to be applying even when its phonological conditions aren't met. What's going on?

The rule probably doesn't inherit from the type inflecting-lex-rule. This breaks the connection between the STEM values of the input and output. Add inflecting-lex-rule as a supertype to the rule in question, and it should work better.
