Arabic WordNet with plural words

I am using Arabic wordNet with c# to get the synonym of a singular word like "عرض" and I get the following synonyms (علامة, أمارة, شدة, ضر, شؤم, بلية, etc ).
my question is: Is there a way to get the synonyms of plural word from the Arabic WordNet like the word "علامات".
I need that because I didn't find a way to get the singular word from a plural one in arabic language like "علامات" => "علامة.
I appreciate any help you provide.

Solution

  • I solved this by editing the awn.xml file and adding all needed plural words for example the word "عرض" has the plural "أعراض" and has synonyms علامات, أمارات, شدائد, بلايا,أضرار as the follwoing 

    <wordnet version="20">
<item itemid="&gt;aArad_n1AR" offset="102231120" lexfile="" name="أعراض" type="synset" headword="" POS="n" source="" gloss="" authorshipid="1" />
<authorship author="ali" date="20150215" score="" comment="" covering="1" authorshipid="1" />
<item itemid="&gt;aMrad_n1AR" offset="102231121" lexfile="" name="أمراض" type="synset" headword="" POS="n" source="" gloss="" authorshipid="2" />
<authorship author="ali" date="20150215" score="" comment="" covering="1" authorshipid="1" />
<item itemid="&gt;Isteqsa'at" offset="102231121" lexfile="" name="استقصاءات" type="synset" headword="" POS="n" source="" gloss="" authorshipid="3" />
<authorship author="ali" date="20150215" score="" comment="" covering="1" authorshipid="1" />

    then add the synonyms as the following

    now when we execute the following code snippet

            List<string> wordId = _awn.Get_List_Word_Id_From_Value("علامات");
        List<string> synonyms = new List<string>();
        if (wordId != null)
        {
            foreach (string ss in wordId)
            {
                string temp = _awn.Get_Synset_ID_From_Word_Id(ss);
                List<string> test = _awn.Get_List_Word_Id_From_Synset_ID(temp);
                if (test.Count != 0)
                {
                    foreach (string str in test)
                    {
                        string s = _awn.Get_Word_Value_From_Word_Id(str);
                        if (!synonyms.Contains(s))
                            synonyms.Add(s);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

    we get the following words in synonyms list "علل","علات","اعتلالات","داءات","وعكات","أسقام","شكاوى". which are the plural words of the synonyms of the word "عرض".
