@Octahedron80 I think the Jawi parameter in headwords should be deprecated too and moved to Pronunciation, where a single {{ms-pron}} template generates the IPA, Jawi form, and rhymes. The Jawi entries are better maintained as form-of soft redirects to the Rumi forms. Wyang (talk) 08:40, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Jawi is the alternative form, not the pronunciation, so I think not to group Jawi in pron. Jawi is still used today, so soft redirect may be better and it is still lemma. Additionally, I suggest to use kaf ك (compare keheh ک) since everyone commonly use it. Or can we use both? --Octahedron80 (talk) 08:51, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
About soft redirect, only Rumi (r) parameter will be cancelled because Rumi page still need a link to Jawi page. --Octahedron80 (talk) 09:15, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Jawi can be automatically generated from Rumi or a phonetically respelt Rumi form, e.g. ĕmpat, which will make it easier to maintain the entries (no need for duplicating information in an entry). On keheh: The government dictionary [1] uses keheh, as well as w:Jawi alphabet. The r parameter is redundant if it is a soft redirect. Wyang (talk) 09:36, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I have idea, make hard redirect of words using kaf to keheh ones. --Octahedron80 (talk) 10:43, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I support this. Wyang (talk) 10:51, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Linking words in headword[edit]

@Octahedron80, Wyang: At kantor pos, for example, I think each word should be linked to automatically in the headword. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:07, 5 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

-ku, -mu and -nya affix[edit]

I think the affix is not necessary other than plural and Jawi. Because the affixes of pronouns are rarely used in everyday "impolite" speech. "-ku" can "saya", "aku", "kami", and "kita"; "-mu" can be "kamu", "anda", "engkau", and "awak"; and "-nya" can be "dia", "beliau", "mereka", and "baginda".

I suggest we create a table that list all the everyday pronouns like in template:ms-personal pronouns but the main word put into the table like declension table. Here is the example. SNN95 (talk) 15:09, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

impolite[edit]

Is "impolite 2nd person possessive" really the best term for this affix? Soap 18:09, 29 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
