denckring-de-data

German lexicon data for denckring: word membership and an ordered noun list.

pip install denckring[de]

Installing this gives the German pack lexicon.words and lexicon.nouns, which is what charade, semordnilap, word_square, n_plus_7 and s_plus_7 need in order to run in German. Without it those procedures raise MissingCapability for de, exactly as they do for any unmet capability.

The data is derived from Wikidata Lexemes and is CC0 — no attribution, no share-alike. See LICENSE-WIKIDATA for provenance. Regenerate it with scripts/build_lexicon.py; the vendored files are reproducible from that script alone.

Umlauts and ß are preserved rather than folded. Bär and Bar are different words, and whether they should be treated alike is a decision ADR 0009 leaves to the procedure, not to the lexicon.

Membership is casefolded, which deliberately merges ß and ss spellings (e.g. Maßen/Massen); the noun list is not casefolded and keeps ß intact.
