Hey, please don't lemmatise at the stem with a dash. Find some better form, like the infinitive or the imperative. Thanks. Thadh (talk) 18:17, 19 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Alright, I did it only because I saw all other Even verbs were like this. Milan778 (talk) 22:36, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm sorry about that, we had a serially bad editor for years who jumped from language to language and had no idea what they're doing. Since we didn't have any Even editors, nobody could fix it.
 * I'm glad you're here by the way, welcome! If you have any questions about how Wiktionary works, feel free to ask me, I would be happy to help. Thadh (talk) 07:22, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * By the way, now I'm here: How do you feel about creating a reference template? It's generally a good idea to include a reference per entry whenever possible because that way the readers know where our information comes from. Compare R:kpv:Podorova:1948 and R:kpv:Bubrikh:1949 for how to make one. Thadh (talk) 07:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Is this alright? Milan778 (talk) 08:08, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * No idea why it does not work, heres a link https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:R:eve:Tsintsius:1952 Milan778 (talk) 08:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I would convert it to a cite-book template, but otherwise it's fine! Thadh (talk) 09:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

What is the chance the tungusic swadesh list is full of mistakes?
Ive noticed that https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Tungusic_Swadesh_lists this page has different words in Even than my dictionary. Is it likely the list is wrong? Milan778 (talk) 02:37, 21 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Also, when adding words, should i add it with the long vowels if needed like а̄ е̄ ӣ о̄ ӯ ы̄ э̄ я̄ or without the line? Milan778 (talk) 02:46, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It's possible that the list is wrong, but I would use multiple dictionaries rather than one to confirm that.
 * As for the length marks, they should be given in the headword but not in the entryname: Compare how Evenki does it at ӈо. Thadh (talk) 06:08, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * alright, can you help me with this? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8#Noun
 * I cant get it to function, I tried everything Milan778 (talk) 07:16, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You should try making a language-specific headword template at eve-noun akin to evn-noun. Thadh (talk) 16:11, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I deleted your attempt at eve-noun. Something was wrong with it. I'm not actually sure you need such a template but as User:Thadh has suggested it I won't delete it again if you produce a working version. Benwing2 (talk) 07:24, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Sadly I’m new and I still dont know how most things work Milan778 (talk) 08:48, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Even sources
Do you use any dictionaries for Even? I couldn't find any Russian-Even PDF dictionary, but found a digital dictionary that helps me a lot. If you don't know, you should definitely use it:  Ardahan Karabağ (talk) 10:43, 24 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I have a physical Russian-Even dictionary : Milan778 (talk) 18:53, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello. It is necessary to give the Russian headword and preferably also the page number like this when referencing that print dictionary. Vahag (talk) 19:04, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
