Description

I get a false lemmatisation with this syntagma with parsetree in french.

Syntagma : 'yeux de merlan frit'
The lemmatised result : 'yeu', 'de', 'merlan', 'frir'

The problem : 'yeux' is the plural form of 'oeil' and not 'yeu'

'yeux' aka 'oeil' is a very common word in french.
How can I fix this or contribute to fix this in pattern ?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the French lemmatisation result for “yeux de merlan frit” through Pattern’s Python API. Locate the French lemmatisation rules or data that produce “yeu”, then verify that “yeux” maps to “oeil” and that the reported phrase is corrected without regressions.
