Description
The sfm data can be thought to have a shape. e.g. lx - ps - ge+ - bw would be one shape. Categorizing by shape gives good insights into the whole data set. Also it provides a good basis for fixing common errors.
For example, consider the shape that has a bw in the middle of the data set. Dragging the bw to the top or bottom, and applying that across all records that are in that shape is a quick way to fix that problem, with a high degree of confidence that it isn't damaging to other data in the lexicon.
The key differentiators for shape are 1 field, and 2 or more fields. There doesn't seem to be any reason to differentiate between 2 and more than 2, so 2 or more is indicated by the + affix.
