I have tried everything I can think of to get Null Morphemes to work, and I
think we've probably found something Shoebox doesn't handle gracefully. I
know that I would have no interest in adding very many alternate forms per
noun and pronoun into a lexicon. :) Variables don't seem to be interpreted
unless reduplication is used, so I think that is out. The only alternative I
can see to the inelegant solution of multiple alternate forms would be to
leave it out and assume that it is there... or add -0 like David has been
doing. I have emailed SIL about it to see if they have a better solution.
