Hey, please don't lemmatise at the stem with a dash. Find some better form, like the infinitive or the imperative. Thanks. Thadh (talk) 18:17, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Alright, I did it only because I saw all other Even verbs were like this. Milan778 (talk) 22:36, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I'm sorry about that, we had a serially bad editor for years who jumped from language to language and had no idea what they're doing. Since we didn't have any Even editors, nobody could fix it.

I'm glad you're here by the way, welcome! If you have any questions about how Wiktionary works, feel free to ask me, I would be happy to help. Thadh (talk) 07:22, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

By the way, now I'm here: How do you feel about creating a reference template? It's generally a good idea to include a reference per entry whenever possible because that way the readers know where our information comes from. Compare {{R:kpv:Podorova:1948}} and {{R:kpv:Bubrikh:1949}} for how to make one. Thadh (talk) 07:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Is this alright? R:eve:Tsintsius:1952 Milan778 (talk) 08:08, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

No idea why it does not work, heres a link https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:R:eve:Tsintsius:1952 Milan778 (talk) 08:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

I would convert it to a {{cite-book}} template, but otherwise it's fine! Thadh (talk) 09:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

What is the chance the tungusic swadesh list is full of mistakes?

Ive noticed that https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Tungusic_Swadesh_lists this page has different words in Even than my dictionary. Is it likely the list is wrong? Milan778 (talk) 02:37, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Also, when adding words, should i add it with the long vowels if needed like а̄ е̄ ӣ о̄ ӯ ы̄ э̄ я̄ or without the line? Milan778 (talk) 02:46, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

It's possible that the list is wrong, but I would use multiple dictionaries rather than one to confirm that.

As for the length marks, they should be given in the headword but not in the entryname: Compare how Evenki does it at ӈо. Thadh (talk) 06:08, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

alright, can you help me with this? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8#Noun

I cant get it to function, I tried everything Milan778 (talk) 07:16, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

You should try making a language-specific headword template at {{eve-noun}} akin to {{evn-noun}}. Thadh (talk) 16:11, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Hmm, I deleted your attempt at {{eve-noun}}. Something was wrong with it. I'm not actually sure you need such a template but as User:Thadh has suggested it I won't delete it again if you produce a working version. Benwing2 (talk) 07:24, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Sadly I’m new and I still dont know how most things work Milan778 (talk) 08:48, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Even sources

Do you use any dictionaries for Even? I couldn't find any Russian-Even PDF dictionary, but found a digital dictionary that helps me a lot. If you don't know, you should definitely use it: [1] Ardahan Karabağ (talk) 10:43, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

I have a physical Russian-Even dictionary : Cincius, V. I., Rišes, L. D. (1952) Русско-эвенский словарь [Russian–Even Dictionary], Moscow Milan778 (talk) 18:53, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello. It is necessary to give the Russian headword and preferably also the page number like this when referencing that print dictionary. Vahag (talk) 19:04, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
