The lemmatizer is one of the biggest advantages of the app when compared to the printed version of the NLD. Affixes are added to words all the time, so identifying stems with multiple affixes can be challenging in a print dictionary, but this dictionary app does that for you. If you type in e.g. waŋwíčhablake the app will show you the entry waŋyáŋkA.
