All of this is based on LinguaLinks 5.0 and in pseudo-osis/xml.  Starred 
entries may occur multiple times.

There are three types of entries (major, minor, and sub), each of which 
have different content, but the following is their union:

<entry type="major|minor|sub" 
subType="affix|circumfix|infix|prefix|simulfix|suffix|clitic|enclitic|proclitic|root|boundRoot|unboundRoot|stem|boundStem|unboundStem">
    <form type="base"></form>

There's a strong emphasis on linking to external databases (thesaurus 
codes, OCM codes, indexes, etc.)
