Thai and Khmer
Hello,

While your Thai edits seems to be OK, please be more careful with Khmer. I don't know since when "bed" is an "adjective", as in. Also, any doubt about "abstract nouns" in adjective and verb entries, you should suppress them with "-", like this:.

Please add with care. Don't add at all if you don't know how the word is pronounced or how to use the template.


 * HP, it's your entry from 2016.

Definitions, according to Sealang dictionary:
 * 1) (n)one who has a bald head
 * 2) (p) bald on the top of the head

I can see no "bed" and no "adjective"

 * It's the usual problematic user from Bangkok, tracked by the tag . I've blocked them. I don't have the time to check their edits- feel free to revert any suspicious ones you see. Wyang (talk) 07:54, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually it looks like it stems back to a mistake I made. Stephen answered my request at bald and I made the entry as an adjective based on that but somehow typed "bed" instead of "bald". Some kind of thinko I suppose. Odd that nobody spotted that across the subsequent edits. I'm not sure what POS p is in Khmer dictionaries but my print dictionary has exactly the same as Sealang. I'm assuming it's a special POS since Khmer is like several Asian languages in that most adjectives are verbs, a subtype of verb, or more like verbs than a separate POS... I just checked and this p only has a definition in Khmer in my print dictionary. I'll see if I can find it on Sealang. In the meantime it doesn't seem like using the Adjective heading for those is totally wrong but perhaps needs to be discussed. I believe some Asian languages have a small set of true adjectives and the words equivalent to all other adjectives are verbs as mentioned before, which could well justify a new POS for Khmer entries. &mdash; hippietrail (talk) 10:57, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
