G'day,

I have noticed a slight problem with multiword expressions for the new pet.
For lexemes like "mountain view", where the STEM is a list, only the
last element ("view") is stored in the derivation.

mtn_view_n1 := n_proper_le &
 [ STEM < "mountain", "view" >,
   SYNSEM.LKEYS.KEYREL.CARG "mountain_view" ].

derivation[1] (7.164):i like mountain view 

(54 subjh 7.16 0 4 [root_strict]
  (5 i/n_pers_pro_i_le 0.00 0 1 []
    ("i" 0.00 0 1))
  (49 hcomp 7.16 1 4
    (32 non_third_sg_fin_verb_infl_rule 0.21 1 2
      (18 like_v1/v_np_trans_le 0.21 1 2 []
        ("like" 0.00 1 2)))
    (43 proper_np 7.19 2 4
      (42 sing_noun_infl_rule 0.00 2 4
        (26 mtn_view_n1/n_proper_le 0.00 2 4 []
          ("view" 0.00 3 4))))))                                  <---
should be "mountain view"

The problem appears for both the ERG and JACY, and does not appear in
the oe branch of pet or the LKB.

Has anyone else noticed this?
