We are very happy to announce a new release of Muraija! In addition to many minor improvements and bug fixes, we added two new features:
Muraija now contains compound adjectives like "واسع النطاق" and "بعيد النظر" and "ثنائية القومية", listing them both under the corresponding adjective (ثنائي الأبعاد - ثنائي النواة - ثنائي اللغة) and the corresponding noun (أحادي الأبعاد - ثنائي الأبعاد - متعدد الأبعاد). Although compound adjectives are not an exclusive feature of the Arabic language, their morphology and semantics offer some intricacies especially to non-native speakers. Test yourself: How many compound adjectives with "خفيف" do you know?
The derivational system based on roots and patterns is one of the most characteristic features of the Arabic language, connecting a verb (وقّع) to its corresponding verbal noun (توقيع) and participles (موقِّع/موقَّع). Muraija now translates this connection into the realm of collocations by considering "وقّع اتفاقيةً" and "توقيع اتفاقية" and "اتفاقية موقَّعة" as morphological variants expressing the same idea, and displaying them together.
