**"you"** shall mean the person or entity identified below.
If you agree to be bound by these terms, fill in the information requested
below and include the filled-in version with your first pull request, under the
folder [`.github/contributors/`](/.github/contributors/). The name of the file
should be your GitHub username, with the extension `.md`. For example, the user
example_user would create the file `.github/contributors/example_user.md`.
Read this agreement carefully before signing. These terms and conditions

### Types of change
Update to Universe list in website.
## Checklist
- [x] I have submitted the spaCy Contributor Agreement.
- [x] I ran the tests, and all new and existing tests passed.
- [x] My changes don't require a change to the documentation, or if they do, I've added all required information.
* Fix venv command examples
The documentation refers to `venv`, which is native to Python3.
However, the command examples are as if they were still `virtualenv`,
which is a package independent of `venv`:
- It doesn't need to be installed via `pip`. In fact `pip install venv` would
return an error.
- The correct way to invoke `venv` is `python3 -m venv`, not `venv`, which would
return command not found.
See https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
I suspect the documentation simply replaced all occurrences of `virtualenv` with
`venv`. However they are different modules and are used differently.
* Update comment [ci skip]
List created by taking the 2000 top words from a Wikipedia dump and
removing everything that wasn't hiragana.
Tried going through kanji words and deciding what to keep but there were
too many obvious non-stopwords (東京 was in the top 500) and many other
words where it wasn't clear if they should be included or not.

## Description
This PR corrects the German lemma form for the word "Rang". Initially, the lemma form was "ringen", which is not correct, because it refers to the verb ("ringen") and not to the noun ("Rang").
### Types of change
The lemma form for "Rang" is corrected to "Rang", see also the [Duden](https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Rang) entry.
