Mood vs verbFormMood

[valeq]

I found the distinction between "mood" (http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#mood") and "verbFormMood" (http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#VerbFormMood) unclear and confusing especially because the set of features associated with them do not coincide. The features available for "mood" are:

"subjunctive" (http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#subjunctive),
"indicative" (http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#indicative), and
"imperative" http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#imperative,

which are also typed for verbFormMood, whereas:

"infinitive" http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#infinitive"
"gerundive" http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#gerundive
"contidional" http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#conditional

are only available with verbFormMood. Would it be possible, meaningful to also type the latter for "Mood" as well?

The definition for mood starts with "In TEI" so I guess this is just a legacy from the export from ISOcat. I would create a single property called mood that has the range and definition of verbFormMood

I agree, this solution sounds reasonable and clearer to me.
Also, for some languages other values may be needed.
For instance, "supine" for (at least) Latin and italic languages.
See the old EAGLES recommendations https://home.uni-leipzig.de/burr/Verb/htm/LinkedDocuments/annotate.pdf , page 8. And https://ia904701.us.archive.org/9/items/grammarofoscanum00buckuoft/grammarofoscanum00buckuoft.pdf page 179.
Would you consider adding it to the vocabulary?

Thank you for making the updates.
I would also recommend to add "supine", which is needed for at least some languages and was also a legal value in the EAGLES guidelines mentioned earlier.

Thanks, I have updated the PR.
