If I count lexemes, superlative forms (faint - faintest) will be out
If I count inflected forms, then superlative forms will be counted. Not sure what to chose though

True. Thank you for your detailed feedback. For Masdr example, my example is the word orbit which is both noun and verb. It appeared as a noun 20 times and as a verb 11 times, which could be confusing while refining the materials in my statistical analysis software but now I think I have handled it.
Thank you again
De rien.

How exactly were you able to handle that #Verb or Noun Ambiguity Analysis Matter?

Thank you for your question.
I am interested in finding out weather they will learn the verb function of it. So, for test of spelling, pronunciation, and meaning, I will include the total frequency 31 (11+20) in the word-frequency column. For the test of use (give the part of speech of the word), I will include the frequency of 11 (verb) since I am interested in knowing whether they acquired the verb, BUT, I will add another column where to specify the frequency of occurrence of the noun (20) in a column of the other related words, i.e. derived words, adjective forms (symmetry - symmetrical) which are not inflected forms.
