Requirements
ISO 639-3 and Wiktionary code: gmh
For a term to qualify as an Middle High German entry, it must be attested in an Middle High German text between ca. 1050 - 1500 AD (cp. ISO code gmh). Anything after 1500 is considered to be New High German (code de), which includes Early New High German, or belonging to a certain dialect like Bavarian, Swabian.
Article titles and headers
Letters with diacritics (ë, ā, ē, ī, ō, ū), the letters ʒ/ȥ and long s (ſ) are not used in article titles, but diacritic letters are used when displaying the word (using the parameter |head=).
Thus the word for "help" is at ], but the headword line uses the parameter |head=hëlfen.
Orthography: Normalisation
- Long vowels are indicated with macrons: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū (not with circumflexes: â, ê, î, ô, û)
- The /s/-like sound which arose from Germanic /t/ in the High German consonant shift is indicated with ȥ (not with ʒ)
Preferably, the lemma or 'main' entry should be at the normalised spelling (compare the lemmatisation in Köbler's dictionary). Any other attested spellings (see WT:CFI) may be listed under an Alternative forms heading at the beginning of the normalised entry, and may have their own entries when attested, which should link back to the normalised spellings.
