UD for Komi-Zyrian 
Tokenization and Word Segmentation
- In general, words are delimited by whitespace characters. Compounds in Komi-Zyrian are usually written separated, and in these cases the relation (compound) is used to connect the tokens.
- According to typographical rules, many punctuation marks are attached to a neighboring word. At the moment hyphenated compounds such as партийно-комсомольскӧй “pertaining to the komsomol of the party” or сідз-тадз “so-so” are analysed as individual tokens, as are abbreviations such as с.в., “etc. (сідз водзлань “onward like this”)”.
- A whitespace separating digits in a large number is not treated as a word separator. For example, 1 000 000 (“1,000,000” by English rules) is one token.
