Hypernym for “day”, “month”, “week”, “year” I meant situations like these: When? - in a month. When? - 5 days ago |

Is there a single word that means 'adding more details' or 'enriching with information' Thanks Barrie, the precise context is as follows: I have a base entity which describes a whatever camera that has a few parts which are whatever lens, batteries, memory cards etc. This is what I referred to as "something that's already been defined". Now, I need to define a very real camera which is 'D700 Nikon' that has specific lens, batteries, etc. So I take my general definition and create a new definition by adding more details specific to the 'D700 Nikon' camera. So the question is: what am I doing with the base definition? |

When the plural ends in “-ies”, how do I know whether the singular ends in “-y” or “-ie”? i am not getting you. cat/cats - a regular case, don't need to keep it, dog/dogs - same thing, mouse/mice - irregular - get into the database, what's the problem here? |

When the plural ends in “-ies”, how do I know whether the singular ends in “-y” or “-ie”? why do I need to keep ALL words in my db? while for most of them the plural/singular form can be calculated. i'd think i need to keep only exceptions there, which is what my question was about actually, i just thought maybe somebody has a list of them |

When the plural ends in “-ies”, how do I know whether the singular ends in “-y” or “-ie”? well, first of all thank you for understanding of my concerns, some people around don't seem to see this problem worth of discussion whatsoever, second, you insight's are really helpful, at the very least you gave few examples to google around, and at last, the problem I am dealing with is in domain of natural language processing, where I have to explain to a computer how to make a "cookie" out of "cookies" and a "fly" out of "flies", and that guys is not very cooperative, but nevertheless, thanks again! |

When the plural ends in “-ies”, how do I know whether the singular ends in “-y” or “-ie”? Martha, is there a dictionary of plural forms in English? If so, I'd be glad if you could name it. By which I mean not a regular dictionary that has all the trivial forms, but rather a special one that focuses on a exceptional cases like ones that are in question. |

When the plural ends in “-ies”, how do I know whether the singular ends in “-y” or “-ie”? well well, what I was asking is a quite opposite situation, given a plural form "cookies", now how am I supposed to get a singular out of it, should I replace "ies" in "flies" with "y" or with "ie", now what should I do with "cookies"? |
