PyDelphin is not currently doing anything to remedy this situation, but I'm not sure what is the appropriate change to make. Perhaps PyDelphin should just throw a more descriptive error message rather than attempt to modify the attribute name or (currently) do nothing. I can recommend a few remedies for you:</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg"> 1. Rename properties such as "--PSV" to "__PSV" (or something) before MRS->DMRS conversion, and then rename it back on DMRS->MRS conversion.</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg"> 2. Use the DMRS-JSON format instead of DMRX (since JSON is not affected by this issue).</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg"> 3. Remove the --PSV property (and similar) entirely, if they are not valuable for your work.</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">Does this help?</div></div><br class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_quote gmail_msg"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg">On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at 11:15 PM Naman Deep Singh <<a href="mailto:nmndeep@gmail.com" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">nmndeep@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br class="gmail_msg"></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote gmail_msg" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg">I have compiled the german grammar .</div><div class="gmail_msg">But
