modifiers

Most S modifiers are direct equivalents of L modifiers.  Exceptions include colors, which were matched to numbers, and the addition of "zu", used to mark a classifier used in a stem.  The modifiers are also arranged alphabetically, according to an ad hoc scheme of apparent relationships.
