# This file contains items that have been hand-labeled as being
# downward-entailing (narrowly defined) [tagged DE(ND) below],
# comparative [Comp], conditional [Cond], superlative [Super], or hard
# to annotate [Hard].  The items are sorted by label, and then
# alphabetically within label. The source of these items was the top 150
