type Lexicon = {
  roots: Array<Root>;
  affixes: {
    standard: Array<StandardAffix>;
    accessor: Array<CaseAccessorAffix>;
    stacking: Array<CaseStackingAffix>;
  };
};

Root

type Root = {
  root: string;
  refers?: string;
  stems?: [
    Specs | string,
    Specs | string,
    Specs | string,
