I'm not adding tokens yet, but I will be soon, so all of this isn't entirely crazy. The underlying capability here includes decompounding. (I have mixed feelings about just adding all the fragments to the token stream, as it can reduce precision, but there isn't an obvious alternative (except perhaps to suppress the super-common ones)). So, to summarize, logic might be: in incrementToken: If positions.getMaxPos() > -1. just return nextToken(). If not, loop calling peekToken to acquire a sentence, process the sentence, and attach the lemmas and compound-pieces to the Position subclass objects. in afterPosition, as each token comes 'into focus', splat the lemma from the Position into the char term attribute, and insert new tokens as needed for the compound components.
