Words should go in main dictionary, not category[edit]

Thise category is currently being misused to contain the actual words. The words should be added to the actual dictionary and this category identified in the dictionary entry. --David Woolley 23:59, 25 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Just to clarify[edit]

'Kunjechi' does not actually mean younger sister - that would be anujatthi. Kunjechi is used by some people if they have more than one older sister to refer to the younger one(s). --Grammatical error 19:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

malayalam word for doctor[edit]

hi, can anyonme help me out to find the exact malayalam word for DOctor.

Well, people normally just say "doctor". There's also vaidyar വൈദ്യര്, but that only refers to "doctors" specialising in traditional ayurvedic disciplines. There probably is a word for the other sort of doctor, but it's not used much and you'd need a Malayalam dictionary. --Grammatical error 05:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
"Appothikkari" is the original malayalam word for doctor. — This unsigned comment was added by 204.52.250.205 (talk) at 18:56, 10 September 2012‎ (UTC).Reply

Lemma adding bot[edit]

@Vis_M, Illustrious Lock, Zelib143, Cyrohdn3, Kirank567: hey so how can we get a bot to add lemmas? There are 1000s of lemmas so it would be better to get a bot to bring them from R:ml:Warrier, Gundert's and ml wikt. There seems to be User:SinonquoiBot adding Burusho lemmas and User:Bot-Jagwar adding en wikt Malayalam lemmas to Malagasy wikt. AleksiB 1945 (talk) 18:00, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

@AleksiB 1945 I think that should be done manually to ensure quality. I was planning to do it, but then thought adding to d:Wikidata:Lexicographical data/Malayalam first will be better. Note that R:ml:Warrier is copyrighted, and also that these dictionary data are not in structured form. Vis M (talk) 05:01, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
We could move them from ml wikt then. Even with warrier we arent fully copying it just taking the word meanings AleksiB 1945 (talk) 11:02, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
