Effort to categorize derived terms by sense

I went through the Category of derived senses and categorized 1138 of the 1412 total senses of all the derived words, and at this point my mind has turned to mush and don't think I'll be finishing this task. If anybody wants to pick up where I left off, I have updated the list of senses and derived words with what I was able to do. For whoever is up to completing (or at least advancing) the task, here are the outstanding uncategorized senses that I scraped. The number after the headword indicates a numbering of the different senses that word can have (starting from 0).

For some starting points: there's probably a sense for coion, coelectron, etc. There are probably multiple math senses here (e.g. relating to a cogroup, relating to a cocone). I suspect there's another sense for biochemistry (see cochaperone) but don't have the biochem background needed to figure it out. Some terms I flagged as interesting and worth consideration were: coterminal, coinquiry, cofermion, colexicographic. Intersets (talk) 05:45, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
