ܫܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ (rhyme intended) -
thanks so much for your contributions, it's so exciting whenever someone new joins this project
i wasnt sure if you knew how to add a verb conjugation table but thought i would mention it since including them helps the article quality. going down the template rabbit hole...
for pages with verbs you can create all the conjugations by invoking the conjugation template and passing the arguments to it. for example in https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%DC%90%DC%9F%DC%A0 you'll see
{{aii-conj-verb/A1a|ܐ|ܟ݂|ܠ}}
creates the whole conjugation table. you might wonder what "aii-conj-verb/A1a" means - well if you go to the template url https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Template:aii-conj-verb/A1a you'll see it redirects to https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Template:aii-conj-verb/G-1i. This redirection is because the templates were recently renamed to emit more information about the conjugation, for example G-1i tells us it's a g-stem conjugation where the 1st letter of the root is ignored. Antonklroberts spent a lot of time creating and improving these building blocks which has helped editors' productivity and minimized editing errors.
if you go to https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Template:aii-conj-verb/G-1i&action=edit you'll see that this verb conjugation template itself inherits from https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Template:aii-conj (which redirects to https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Template:aii-conj-verb) 🤯. if you
you'll quickly "see" how everything is pieced together
you can also add inflections for nouns and prepositions using this same approach
im useless when it comes to our language but if had questions about this sort of thing... feel free to ask me anything, anytime on my talk page ColumbaBush (talk) 20:23, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
okay one more thing... modules are for more complex things that templates can't do https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Category:Assyrian_Neo-Aramaic_modules and are scripted in lua ex. https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Module:aii-translit
you generally won't invoke modules explicitly because they're implicitly used under the hood.
like when you specify a noun with this template https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Template:aii-noun via
{{aii-noun|ܩܵܛܘܿ|f-s|pl=ܩܵܛܘܵܬܹ̈ܐ}}
where is the "aii-noun" template coming from? if you go to https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Template:aii-noun&action=edit you'll see it invokes this module https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Module:aii-headword which is responsible for creating all these part of speech templates https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Category:Assyrian_Neo-Aramaic_headword-line_templates we use ColumbaBush (talk) 20:56, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
shlama - i needed some help with replacing the invocations for Template:aii-conj-verb/B4i from Category:Pages_using_bad_params_when_calling_Template:aii-conj-verb/B4i
if a correct template doesnt already exist a new one may need to be created ColumbaBush (talk) 09:41, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Hey ܐܢܐ thanks so much for your recent edits, it's brought a lot of long overdue completion and correction to many articles
So awesome to see all the great work you're doing ColumbaBush (talk) 17:47, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
hey i noticed youre online, i was gonna have them be included in the conj tables instead of manually typing them out via aii-verb, can u help me w/ updating them? ColumbaBush (talk) 01:28, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
hey man - just wanted to thank you for everything you've done in the past 6 months... you've really raised the bar on the overall quality of this project by applying your your depth of understanding of our language and classical syriac
you also improved the comprehensiveness of the dictionary on many fronts (ex. expanding the verb conjugation templates, applying reconstruction where necessary)
it's crazy to see how fast you picked things up, really awesome to see all you've contributed and will continue to do ColumbaBush (talk) 19:37, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
does it make sense to create pages for ܠܝܼ ܠܲܢ ܠܘܼܟ݂ etc...
i was thinking there had to be a reason why they didn't exist yet ColumbaBush (talk) 02:05, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Acharyan derives this from Old Armenian կրիայ (kriay, “tortoise”), but the Classical Syriac cognate that you found proves the borrowing is in the opposite direction. Do you have sources relating Assyrian Neo-Aramaic ܩܪܝܐ (qrāyā, “tortoise”) to Classical Syriac ܩܪܝܬܐ (qārīṯā, “weevil; tortoise”)? Vahag (talk) 11:15, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
