Contributions summary:Leo primarily contributed to the back-end logic of the natural-language processing library. They introduced a `lump()` method to combine terms, refactored the `lump()` method to return the parent with lumped terms, and implemented functionality to handle multiple tags and a custom tag hierarchy. They also modified the lexicon handling to prevent user-defined lexicons from overriding built-in tagging.
