relexifier

noun /ɹiˈlɛk.səˌfaɪ.ɚ/

One who relexifies.

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.
