-- A list of all possible "parts" that a specification can be made out of. For each part, we list the class it's in
-- (gender, animacy, etc.), the associated category (if any) and the display form. In a given gender/number spec, only
-- one part of each class is allowed. `display` is how the code is diplayed to the user and should normally be wrapped
-- in <abbr title="tooltip">...</abbr> with an explanatory tooltip. If not, it will automatically be wrapped in this
-- fashion. If `req` is true, a category "Requests for TYPE in LANG entries" will be generated, except for the code "?",
-- which is special-cased; TYPE is "gender" unless the POS is "verb", in which case it is "aspect".
