    abstract = "This paper presents two finite-state transducer tools, which can be used to analyze or generate simple English verb and noun phrases, that can be mapped with inflected Plains Cree (n{\^e}hiyaw{\^e}win) verb and noun forms. These tools support fetching an inflected Cree word-form directly with an appropriate plain English phrase, and conversely providing a rough translation of an inflected Cree word-form. Such functionalities can be used to improve the user friendliness of on-line dictionaries. The tools are extendable to other similarly morphologically complex languages."
