Next time do two things before you impulsively slap a deletion request on an entry;
 * Check official and/or reliable independant dictionary sources, see if they list the entry and if so, what form do they list it in. In this case it is R:tr:TDK, as well as R:tr:OTK, where the lemma is listed in the 3rd person possessive form. Your reasoning that it should be lemmatized in base form because the Ottoman Turkish dictionary lists it in the base form is flawed. Ottoman Turkish dictionaries have little effect on how Modern Turkish dictionaries are arranged. TDK lists the lemma in 3rd person, the least we could do is follow the official practice.
 * If you really think an entry should be removed, of which there are plenty on this website, place an rfd with your reasoning and then start a new section at Wiktionary:Requests for deletion/Non-English with the right format, so that other editors who are competent at that language can discuss whether the deletion request is valid or not, and whether to go forward with it or keep the entry.

Regarding pronunciation, I see you've edited a few multi-word entries and you place a stress mark for each word. This is not how Turkish works. With exceptions, multi-word phrases have only one stressed syllable. TDK doesn't typically provide pronunciations for multi-word verbs, but they do for nouns and other phrases and they're consistent, only one stress, so the other word(s) lose its/theirs.

/a/ in Turkish and "zorba"
Hi! First of all I'd like to thank for your edits especially in the page since I couldn't find a proper translation. But I'd like to talk about why I undid your other edits. First of all let's start with "". "" comes from Persian, which is made of the elements equivalent to +  in Turkish. The loss of the final "z" is an isolated case but it still comes from +. And as to the existence of /a/, /a/ is a front vowel. Front vowels palatalize certain sounds in Turkish. Like how "k" in "ka" is /k/ while in "ke" is /c/. That's because /e/ is a front vowel, and so is /a/. The sound "a" makes in Turkish is variously described as /ɑ/ and /ä/, both of which aren't front vowels unlike /a/. In Wiktionary and in most recent IPA transcriptions I could find, usually /ɑ/ is used. I hope this helps and thank you for your edits! Kakaeater (talk) 00:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)


 * You should also tell that to Orexan. Rodrigo5260 (talk) 02:25, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
