Lexeme best practice[edit]

  • No final punctuation
  • Use only categories that tell how the unit behaves. Avoid phrase, substitute with verb/noun/adj phrase. Avoid idiom. Avoid affix, use prefix and suffix instead and add "create lexeme typ".
  • use categories like interjection and p31 idiomatic interjection
  • mahir: "a proverb is generally a standalone expression (typically a sentence) that expresses some general truth, while an idiom can be any type of phrase that has a meaning different from the sum of its parts; proverbs are currently marked in the lexical category field, while idioms are best marked using 'has quality: idiomatic' on senses"
  • All verb phrases should added "combines" statements and p31 "(in)separable verb" so the consumer can deduce how it inflects

Examples:

  • On verbs the parts can be separated or not, e.g. wiederholen → ich hole wieder (I fetch again, separable) versus wiederholen → ich wiederhole (I repeat, inseperable)
