TERMINOLOGY:

-- "slot" = A particular combination of tense/mood/person/number/gender/etc.
	 Example slot names for verbs are "pres_1sg" (present first singular) and
	 "past_pasv_part" (past passive participle). Each slot is filled with zero
	 or more forms.

-- "form" = The conjugated Belarusian form representing the value of a given slot.

-- "lemma" = The dictionary form of a given Belarusian term. Generally the infinitive,
	 but may occasionally be another form if the infinitive is missing.
