Hi Paul -

I finally got around to adding the lexical entries (and types) for these comparative degree adverbs "farther" and "further".  I have checked in the improvements to the `trunk' ERG, so when you get a chance, see if the analyses look reasonable.

I'm stumped on what to do to get the ERG to recognize sentences like:

  * stars are further away than cities
  * stars are farther apart than cities


Can anyone spare a tip?

Thanks in advance,
Paul
