Ancient Greek alternative forms

Right, but I don't really know where else to put them. I took a look at the subcategories of Category:English alternative forms, and no one really fit for the purpose of Ancient Greek.

Do they need to be put anywhere at all? I'm not sure I understand.

Maybe you're right. It's just that I don't like to have them in the Category:Ancient Greek verbs as if they were full lemmas, but my doing doesn't change anything anyway.

Another question: why are parameters such as sc=polytonic kept in {{t}}, while they were removed anywhere else?

Fsojic (talk)10:22, 21 April 2014

They are full lemmas though. By our definition, alternative forms are lemmas that can be used instead of another, with no strong preference given to one or another. If there is a preference, the other should be labelled "rare" or something like that.

sc= was not removed anywhere, it's just no longer necessary in most cases. It's not different for {{t}}.

Ok, but this parameter is automatically present when I add a translation with Conrad.Irwin's tool. Shouldn't it be changed for Greek and other languages where it's precisely no longer necessary?

Yes, but we currently don't have anyone who knows how to maintain that script...
