About this profile
The counts and examples on this page come from the lemmatized text of four Finnic runosong corpora: SKVR, JR, KR and ERAB. The table of English words comes from an AI analysis of the corpus; song types, collection places, collectors and dates follow each poem's own catalogue record.
The table of English words is counted from the translations kept in the AI analysis files, which hold only the most frequent translations of each word or spelling, so rare translations can be missing. Words that carry only grammar (such as the, to or didn’t) are left out, and so are English words used fewer than 5 times or in less than 0.1% of the uses counted. The analysis files can group two closely related words, which then show the same table.
Verses are found by the spellings listed above, so an occasional verse may show a different word spelled the same way.
Uses of these spellings that the AI analysis read as another word are left out of the verses and counts: In Estonian: tuli; In Finnish: tuli
In Finnish: tuli
Part of the uses of this spelling shown on this page were checked again against their verses in a separate AI reading.
Uses checked: 212
Read as this page’s word: 208
Unclear: 0
Forms of other words are left out of the verses and counts.
In Finnish: tuleksi
The total and per-corpus counts at the top of the page are the lexicon’s: the uses the lemmatizer gave to this word. The uses below are counted by spelling in the same corpora, so a spelling this page shares with another word’s page is counted on both pages, and the two figures can differ either way.
In Estonian:
Uses shown on this page: 70,129
Uses left out as another word: 2,899
Uses left out because the AI reading could not be matched to the verse: 0
