Development of a Stemmer for the Greek Language - SAIS

The rule removes the suffixes ΙΚΑ, ΙΚΟ, ΙΚΟΥ and ΙΚΩΝ for a group of words.
Example:
ΖΗΛΙΑΡΗΣ ΖΗΛΙΑΡ
ΖΗΛΙΑΡΙΚΟ ΖΗΛΙΑΡ
The rule doesn’t affect one group of words that by chance have similar suffixes.
Example:
ΑΓΡΟΙΚΟΣ ΑΓΡΟΙΚ
ΑΓΡΟΙΚΟΥ ΑΓΡΟΙΚ
Rule-set 7
if (word is ΑΓΑΜΕ){make the stem “ΑΓΑΜ”;}
if (word ends on ΑΓΑΜΕ|ΗΣΑΜΕ|ΟΥΣΑΜΕ|ΗΚΑΜΕ|ΗΘΗΚΑΜΕ){
remove the suffix;
}
if (word ends on ΑΜΕ){
remove the suffix;
if (remaining part is ΑΝΑΠ|ΑΠΟΘ|ΑΠΟΚ…){
add “ΑΜ”;
}
}
The rule removes the suffixes ΑΓΑΜΕ, ΗΣΑΜΕ, ΟΥΣΑΜΕ, ΗΚΑΜΕ and
ΗΘΗΚΑΜΕ for all the words, and the suffix ΑΜΕ for a group of words.
Example:
ΑΓΑΠΩ ΑΓΑΠ
ΑΓΑΠΑΓΑΜΕ ΑΓΑΠ
The rule doesn’t affect one group of words that by chance have similar suffixes.
Example:
ΑΝΑΠΑΜΟΣ ΑΝΑΠΑΜ
ΑΝΑΠΑΜΕ ΑΝΑΠΑΜ
