Subject: No matches for 'armsful'
The querySense, queryWords and validForms methods do not return anything from 'armsful'. However 'wn armsful -over' give results (for 'armful').

QueryData does the morphological processing described by the morphy man page: http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/man/morphy.7WN.html armsful isn't in any of the exception lists and you can't use the rules of detachment to produce armful from armsful. Show me the WordNet documentation that describes how to produce armful from armsful and I'd be happy to write the code to do it. AFAICT, this is a bug/hidden-feature of wn, not a bug in QueryData. Jason
The nice WordNet folk have determined that this is a hidden feature. They're in the process of updating the documentation to reflect the fact that -ful words are treated specially. Once the documentation is updated, I'll update QueryData.

First, let me thank you for the great QA work that you're doing. The only way this module will continue to be used as an interface to WordNet is if people like you do the diligent checking to find inconsistencies. Thanks. Glad to hear that most of the cases will be solved once the -ful issue is resolved. The fact that QueryData is not recognizing involucra appears to be a bug. With any luck, I'll have it fixed shortly (with a new version forthcoming).
Bug fixed. Version 1.35 released.
