 In what follows we describe how root allomorphy is annotated in the Database.
-Root allomorphy is taken to be any unpredictable difference in the root (i.e. the material between the prefix and the theme vowel) between the non-finite and finite form of the verb. The exception to 'unpredictability' are [[defective_verbs|defective verbs]].
+Root allomorphy is taken to be any unpredictable difference in the root (i.e. the material between the prefix and the theme vowel) between the non-finite and finite form of the verb. The exception to 'unpredictability' are [[defective_verbs|defective verbs]]. Cases of predictable/productive phonological allomorphy (such as //pisati//, //pišem// 'to write, we write' in BCS and Slovenian) are **not** considered as cases of root allomorphy here. We give examples of predictable allomorphy below.
 Root allomorphy is annotated in two columns:\\
-  * Column Root allomorphy (y/n): 1 is enetered if there are any unpredictable differences (i.e. instances of root allomorphy).
+  * Column Root allomorphy (y/n): 1 is entered if there are any unpredictable differences (i.e. instances of root allomorphy).
   * Column Root allomorphs (list): The allomorphs of a verb are listed for verbs that exhibit root allomorphy.

+===== Side note: Suppletion =====
+Some verbs have suppletive forms. In the Slovenian base, these are marked with 1 in the Root allomorphy (y/n) column, but in the Root allomorphy (list) column, we list the infinitive, 1sg./pl. present tense form and the l-participle. E.g., //biti// ‘to be’ has the forms: //biti//, //sem/je//, //bil//.
