Thanks, Dan. What property is being used to indicate "fully inflected"
in this case?

So [basic + derived].  Thus, in the ERG, "dog" is reported as "[0 + 2]" since there is no fully inflected lexical entry defined with that spelling, but there are two derived forms with that spelling, applying an inflectional rule to each of the noun and verb entries defined in the lexicon.
