Very little on "noun stripping" on da intarweb, mostly references to a
paper from 1983, "Noun Stripping and Loose Incorporation in Zuni" by K.
Miner and a paper that claims that Tongan does not use noun stripping,
inbetween the hits for 'noun "stripping" in WordNet' and some technique
in UML. I think you need to cough up your sources to the word :)
