Module talk:ms-derivations

This is a brilliant idea, and it solves a long-running problem with derivational forms of Bantu verbs. I'll see if I can put ones together for Swahili and Chichewa, although I'm sure I'll need help. , take a look for Zulu. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:36, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Look at, maybe. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:02, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I did, but I don't understand the significance. Where would it be used and why is it brilliant? —CodeCat 19:06, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * In 'Derived terms' sections, naturally, and it's brilliant because many languages form these more or less regularly, but they're not inflected forms, but actual lemmas. This a great way to standardise their presentation. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * So as I understand it, instead of linking each derived term manually, you'd just give it a list of suffixes and it'll create the forms itself and make links? —CodeCat 19:17, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Right, labelled by form. Presumably we'd want to be able to add glosses where necessary (e.g. Chichewa -thamanga means "run", but -thamangitsa, its causative, ought to be glossed as "chase"). —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:44, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I suppose it could be nice, but I'd probably just stick to doing it manually myself. —CodeCat 19:51, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

The N-mutation on this trips up for, giving and instead of the expected  and I can't begin to understand why. It works fine for, so I think this is probably a specific bug. —&#8288;Desacc̱oinṯier 10:29, 23 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Discard the above, I was trying to deploy it on the wrong page (dunce). —&#8288;Desacc̱oinṯier 10:32, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
