The kasahorow Robot and Automatic Synonym Entries

This is best demonstrated through the use of an example.

Suppose that in the English dictionary, for the word "night," the English dictionary editor has specified that the Akan synonym for "night" is "anadwo."

Suppose also that "nuit" has been specified as the French synonym for the English word "night."

Thus, it would be ideal if "nuit" were automatically linked to "anadwo" through "night" (because all three words mean the same thing). This is exactly what the kasahorow robot does!

Thus, if you view any dictionary entry, and see synonyms that have been italicized, those synonyms were retrieved by the kasahorow robot.

If you are going through a kasahorow dictionary and find a nonsensical synonym, e.g., "nuit" = "farmer," please post a comment on that nonsensical synonym to the attention of the editor. (Nonsensical results may occur because of the conflation of two meanings of one word in the same dictionary entry. Using the above example, the result "nuit" = "farmer" might occur because the Akan editor has conflated two meanings of "anadwo," "night" and "farmer," in one dictionary entry. )

Extracting Words in Context

We've added another dictionary-building tool at http://data.kasahorow.com/. The tool creates dictionary entries and
examples of words in context by extracting words from texts, e.g., legal
documents, news articles, etc. If you have any texts you suggest we use, please
email them to kyeame@kasahorow.com.
