In the lemma database, words are shown in uninflected form (N = ca 8,400), and in the wordform database words are presented in inflected form (N = ca. 17,100). In both databases, frequency and morphological classifications are presented for each entry. It is presented as an excel file. The reference to Portulex is: Teixeira, C., & Castro, S. L. (2007).
