If a word in Spanish ends in mente, it’s almost certainly an adverb Adv.
```
regex ?* {mente} "+Adv":0;
```
¶

A lot of adjectives (Adj) related to a process end in an l, and it’s not a common ending for other types of words.
```
regex ?* l "+Adj":0;
```

Noun (sustantive, Sust) morphology in Spanish is quite regular, so o and a endings usually denote gender, and an s is often a plural marker.
```
regex ?* [o "+Masc":0 |a "+Fem":0] ["+Sing":0|"+Plural":s] "+Sust":0;
```

Another option is a noun that ends in a consonant, then it’s usually pluralized with an es morpheme.

define Cons [b|c|d|f|g|h|j|k|l|m|n|ñ|p|q|r|s|t|v|w|x|y|z];
regex ?* Cons 0:e "+Plural":s "+Sust":0;
