Surround such separators with white space. Search looks at all data fields.
Searching the database in this way will produce a list of zero or more records. Each record summarizes the characteristics of a heteroclite paradigm and includes a hyperlink to the paradigm itself (with accompanying bibliographic references).
To make this database as useful as possible, I will update it periodically with additional paradigms. Users are therefore invited to submit additional examples of heteroclisis to me at gstump@uky.edu; all submissions should include a reference to a published source where the paradigm in question can be found.
This database was compiled by Gregory Stump and Virginia Henriksen at the University of Kentucky. Raphael Finkel translated it into Qddb for this web page. Please report any errors or bugs in the database to gstump@uky.edu.
