    abstract = "We introduce the first publicly available manually annotated dataset for morphological segmentation and word-formation analysis for Slovene, containing 1,935 words annotated by two domain experts. The dataset provides three types of linguistic information: morphological and word-formation segments with zero-morpheme and simplex annotations. We present a four-stage annotation approach achieving inter-annotator agreement of 86.80{\%} Krippendorff{'}s Alpha for morphological segmentation and 85.16{\%} for word-formation segments. Computational validation using a morphological segmentation model achieves 87.78{\%} BPR F1 on morphological segmentation and 83.05{\%} on word-formation segments. Despite being smaller than previous datasets derived from non-public esources, our dataset enables high performance and supports reproducible research for morphological analysis tools for Slovene."
