Part-of-speech selection

Coarse POS

The public values are noun, pronoun, numeral, verb, adjective, determiner, adverb, particle, interjection, and literal. Internal NNG and NNP map to noun, while VV maps to verb.

auto preserves every compatible lexicon analysis. It does not choose one preferred interpretation, so a homographic lemma can produce several programs.

Selection rules

When an atom tag and global --pos are both concrete, they must agree. A mismatch is a compile error because the two constraints cannot both hold.

--literal abbreviates expand=literal and pos=literal. It conflicts with another expansion or a non-literal POS.

POS ambiguity

Query-side POS ambiguity remains a set of candidate programs. Under smart, detailed source analyses from the compact resource are checked against the structural constraints.

Ambiguity that morphology cannot resolve remains in the results. kfind does not invent a frequency or language-model ranking.
