Ambiguity is kept

Every structurally valid lemma-analysis pair is shown. Nothing is silently collapsed to a single preferred parse.

Ordering is not judgment

Candidates are ordered by Collatinus lemma frequency from the LASLA corpus — classical counts, not Ecclesiastical or Vulgate measurements.

Spelling is normalized

æ → ae, œ → oe, j → i, v → u, and vowel-quantity marks are stripped before lookup. The form you typed is preserved above.
