    perl scoreGismu.pl [-g file | -G file] [-m num] [input file]

`scoreGismu.pl` implements steps 2 through 5 of the _gismu_ scoring algorithm

described in §4.14 of _The Complete Lojban Language_ to produce a _gismu_ from

a given set of source words.  Each line of input to the program specifies a set

of Lojbanized source words and their language weights, e.g.:

    iun 0.347 upiog 0.196 emploi 0.160 us 0.123 primin 0.089 amal 0.085

(If the same word appears more than once in the same line, its final weight is

the sum of its listed weights.)  Alternatively, a line may contain only

Lojbanized source words, in which case the weights are the number of times each

word appears on the line.

For each input line, `scoreGismu.pl` will calculate the _gismu_ that match the

given source words the best according to the scoring algorithm and output the

top 5 scores (or an amount specified with the `-m` switch) and the _gismu_ that

obtained them.  Note that calculations for separate lines do not take each

other into account, and so if multiple _gismu_ sets are produced at once, they

may conflict with each other.

A file containing a list of pre-existing _gismu_, one per line, may optionally

be specified with the `-g` switch.  Any _gismu_ listed in this file or that

conflicts with a _gismu_ in this file will be excluded from consideration for

the algorithm.

A file containing a list of potential _gismu_, one per line, may optionally be

specified with the `-G` switch.  Only the _gismu_ listed in this file will be

considered by the algorithm.  If both a `-g` switch and a `-G` switch are

given, the `-g` switch is ignored.

This code was originally taken from [\[1\]][1], where it [was credited to one

"Hussell"][2].

For reference, the language weights used in creating the official _gismu_ were,

as listed in §4.14 of the CLL:

    Chinese     0.36

    English     0.21

    Hindi       0.16

    Spanish     0.11

    Russian     0.09

    Arabic      0.07

Some later _gismu_ instead used the weights:

    Chinese     0.347

    Hindi       0.196

    English     0.160

    Spanish     0.123

    Russian     0.089

    Arabic      0.085
