Parsing Akkadian Verbs with Prolog

TL;DR

This paper presents a Prolog-based system for parsing and generating finite Akkadian verb forms, including stems and case endings, providing a computational framework for Akkadian language analysis.

Contribution

It introduces a novel Prolog implementation for Akkadian verb parsing and generation, covering multiple stems and case endings.

Findings

Successfully interprets Akkadian verb forms with suffixes

Provides a flexible framework for Akkadian language processing

Enables automated analysis of Akkadian verbal morphology

Abstract

This paper describes a parsing/generation system for finite verbal forms in Akkadian, with the possible addition of suffixes, implemented in Prolog. The work described provides the framework and engine to interpret the D, N, and G stems along with accusative, dative and ventive endings.
