    abstract = "This paper presents VeLePa, an inflected verbal lexicon of Central Pame (pbs, cent2154), an Otomanguean language from Mexico. This resource contains 12528 words in phonological form representing the complete inflectional paradigms of 216 verbs, supplemented with use frequencies. Computer-operable (CLDF) inflected lexicons of non-WEIRD underresourced languages are urgently needed to expand digital capacities in this languages (e.g. in NLP). VeLePa contributes to this, and does so with data from a language which is morphologically extraordinary, with unusually high levels of irregularity and multiple conjugations at various loci within the word: prefixes, stems, tone, and suffixes constitute different albeit interrelated subsystems of inflection.",
