If e.g. gaan (to go) has as one of its morphological characteristics that its past participle is formed with ge- (gegaan; the feature CL will have as one of its values PP-GE), this information must be overridden for the related verb vergaan (past participle is vergaan - not gevergaan, which means CL must be PP-0).</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="4"> These regularities are stored in the *DEF-DUTCH-VST-CL-CONV* table (defining the necessary morphological class conversions for past participles).</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
