What’s the point of the participle header?
I came to the conclusion that it makes but in forms used in periphrastic tenses sense, hence the German perfect, but not, and only in paralogistic analogy, the present participles, which are morphologically correctly called so but there is no syntactic function designated by this header, though the part-of-speech headers are supposed to be statements about syntactic function. We don’t really say, but we say ich bin am Schreiben, ich bin am Verhungern etc. This is why I don’t add participle headers in Arabic entries either; “participle of” and “verbal noun of” are only descriptive of semantic relations, i.e. you deem it superfluous to write a separate definition and link to a(nother) lemma. Having two headers at is bloat. Fay Freak (talk) 17:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
