It's the same with me :-| I'd use Kura if I wouldn't have to
transfer all my words manually. It's only ~150 words, but
nevertheless it's a pain with all the options stuff you
can/must?! enter. <shameless plug> I'm currently
transferring my vocabulary from a HTML table file to a
self-written PHP script for my website. Source:

It saved everything in ~/foo.dbfile instead of
~/documents/kura/ayeri.dbfile -- and I wondered where my
data went and re-entered everything *angry*.

For some examples in Ayeri, Kura recognized the morpheme
boundaries, but was unable to show the meaning and such in
the different breakdown lines. Ayeri is very much
agglutinanting as well.

I think I'm able to write analyzing scripts in PHP as well.
Because Ayeri is essentially a cut-and-paste language where
nothing inflects it should be quite easy. I just have to
grok the chapter about regular expressions :-(
