Latin-English dictionary programm written by William Whitaker.
 A effect of the program is to derive the structure and meaning of individual Latin words. A procedure was devised to: 
  * examine the ending of a word, 
  * compare it with the standard endings, 
  * derive the possible stems that could be consistent, 
  * compare those stems with a dictionary of stems, 
  * eliminate those for which the ending is inconsistent with the dictionary stem (e.g., a verb ending with a noun dictionary item), 
  * if unsuccessful, it tries with a large set of prefixes and suffixes, and various tackons (e.g., -que), 
  * finally it tries various "dirty tricks" (e.g., "ae" may be replaced by "e", inp by imp, syncope, etc.), 
  * and it reports any resulting matches as possible interpretations.
