Here is a complete list of word suffixes, with examples (located in the vocab.901) from the template game. My understanding is that these are used by the parser if the inputted word cannot be matched in the vocab.000. Then it attempts to find a match here, and if it does the parser will use the suffixed word class while parsing. This also explains why there are minimal/no pluralized words in the vocab - you should be able to use the root word & the parse will still work properly.

Note that you cannot use suffixed words in developing Said() strings (however, it may minimize the number of strings you need to write), it just helps out with the user input.

Code:
   (if(Said('take/knife'))       // This will respond to both 'take knife' & 'take knives'!
       Print("taken")
   )
   (if(Said('take/knives'))      // Will NOT compile, knives is not in the vocab!
       Print("taken")
   )


The asterisks in the table corresponds to the word stem (you can think of it as a wildcard of sorts).
