✨ NAME ✨

hfst-expand-equivalences — =Extend transducer arcs for equivalence classes

(yeah the little = in there is exactly how it's written in the manual, i'm not touching it, it's canon 🎀)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hfst-expand-equivalences [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Extend transducer arcs for equivalence classes

that's the whole vibe. she takes your arcs and she extends them for equivalence classes. slay.

---

👑 Common options:

• -h, --help — Print help message
• -V, --version — Print version info
• -v, --verbose — Print verbosely while processing (she will tell you everything, main character energy)
• -q, --quiet — Only print fatal erros and requested output
• -s, --silent — Alias of --quiet

ngl "erros" is a typo in the original and i'm keeping it fr fr, we don't erase history in this house 💅

---

💜 Eqv. class extension options:

• -f, --from=ISYM — convert single symbol ISYM to allow OSYM
• -t, --to=OSYM — convert to OSYM
• -a, --acx=ACXFILE — read extensions in acx format from ACXFILE
• -T, --tsv=TSVFILE — read extensions in tsv format from TSVFILE
• -l, --level=LEVEL — perform extensions on LEVEL of fsa

---

Either ACXFILE, TSVFILE or both ISYM and OSYM must be specified. no cap, you have to give her one of those, she can't read your mind bestie 😭

LEVEL should be either {upper, first, 1, input, surface}, {lower, second, 2, output, analysis} or both. and if you just... forget to say a LEVEL? then the default is first. she'll pick for you, she's confident like that. ✨

Examples:

hfst-expand-equivalences -o rox.hfst -a romanian.acx ro.hfst

extend romanian charequivalences
