Enum Classifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

LanguageForm, Serializable, Comparable<Classifier>, Constable

public enum Classifier
extends Enum<Classifier>
implements LanguageForm

Generic classifier categories for languages that require measure words or counters.

This enum is intentionally non-exhaustive. It captures common cross-language semantic buckets used by classifier systems while remaining small enough to be practical in application code.
