can I help?[edit]

@Saltmarsh, I see you are redoing the columbs: very nice. (possibly, also a hidden-column for ... errrr maybe a template code, or a codenumber). Can I help? I can fill in the forms quite fast. no problem. Except the English active (which you already have fixed) and the English passive, IF different from the active. Please tell me if you wish me to help. sarri.greek (talk) 11:21, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Sarri.greek Yes please. I have removed the JNo/template columns which can be added later when templates are stable. The tables are supposed to be common English & Greek verbs. It is all a bit arbitrary, but everything you can do would be only too welcome. I have a habit of taking on more than one thing at a time - and then leaving them half finished 😢. — Saltmarsh. 11:29, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
ok:) @Saltmarsh I am now fixing MY mistakes with dependent (see my notes at your Sandbox-Talk) and will come back here to fill in some gaps (it will take more than a month though). sarri.greek (talk) 11:32, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

sortable[edit]

I just tried to fill some columns @Saltmarsh. Perhaps it is better to do that when conjugation code numbers are fixed too. About Sorting for English: If the 5.000 or so verbs are split α...ω, english cannot be sorted. A user could find an english verb with Control+F, but... It should be one super table!
Also: are the fonts going to be bit smaller? and the cells? If 5,000 verbs... it is going to be huge! PS: How would you like a wiktionary verb code number for the verbs! Something LIKE Iordanidou, but different.... I think about it a lot. sarri.greek (talk) 15:07, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes @Sarri.greek - eventually! If, as I did, start of with an enormous table each edit involves a long wait while the whole text is saved. So when α and β are complete they can be joined - and each letter added one at a time. Small edits are quicker with small files. Eventually in 2025 we may get to ω — Saltmarsh. 15:19, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
haaa :) Boss, you are great! @Saltmarsh. I am doing some cleaning of verb forms.sarri.greek (talk) 15:23, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Sarri.greek aaarch - I've discover the A's done in Appendix:Greek verbs/Α - please hang fire for an hour or so while I merge the files — Saltmarsh. 15:24, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
sorting greek: @Saltmarsh When accent, the sorting is bad: check Π, Ρ: πάλλω comes before παθαίνω etc. This means that a code without diacirtics musc be entered :( sarri.greek (talk) 15:35, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
note: sorting now removed — Saltmarsh.

Eventually[edit]

@Saltmarsh, eventually, this appendix will probably need to break to subpages. Just a note for the future. Thank you! sarri.greek (talk) 18:33, 12 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Sarri.greek To be divided how? — Saltmarsh. 06:44, 15 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
No, not yet. @Saltmarsh. As it grows, I guess a division: Intro - Omitted - Conjugation groups and probably, in the end i will be able to sum up the stem patterns. We'll see how it goes in a year or so. You are always the best judge at organizing things. I am sorry that my pace is so slow. I keep notes as I go on. I try to add the tricky ones and form the skeleton of all conjugation patterns. After that, things will become easier. But sometimes I need a break from verbs:) sarri.greek (talk) 13:48, 15 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sorry @Sarri.greek I thought that your were talking about the pages Α-Ω. If a decent job is to be made of it I will leave the rest to you. I would only intorduce half-understood stuff from textbooks! — Saltmarsh. 05:17, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
