    Dear Nada,

    I'm in the process of developing a frequency dictionary for
    Russian. It was quite surprising for me that in Russian (an
    inflexional language with reliable detection of grammatical
    properties of word forms) the number of word forms with ambiguous
    lemmas is about 20%.

    Just my two (euro) cents.

    Best,
    Serge
