relexifier

Noun

 * 1)  One who relexifies.
 * 2) * c. 1994, Lefebvre, Claire, The tense, mood and aspect system of Haitian Creole and the problem of transmission of grammar in creole genesis, Université du Québec à Montréal, p. 69
 * The relexifiers thus relabelled the lexical entry copied from kò as te, a reduced form of été. This derivation accounts straightforwardly for the fact that the properties of te in the Haitian lexicon parallel those of kò in the Fongbe lexicon.
