@Wyang: Why are you lemmatising this here? It would make more sense to have it at ཡོད (and the same with the other copulas, I think). Also, its use needs to be explained somewhat, but I can try doing that later for all the copulas. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:21, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'm following Jäschke and lemmatising the -pa/ba forms for verbs. I was trying to get the entry started first, but this definitely needs great expansion. Wyang (talk) 21:04, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
So does that mean that yod pa is used? I've just never come across it in that construction. What about copulas that aren't used in Classical Tibetan? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:27, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
It is quite commonly used: you can check by searching for ཡོད་པ here. The -pa form is the substantive form of verbs. Most dictionaries list Tibetan verbs in their verbal noun forms (-pa/ba), although some (such as the Tibetan-Chinese dictionary I shared before) use the stem as lemma.

Thank you. I still haven't been taught any verbal morphology formally, so I have really large gaps there (hence why I haven't added any verbs). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:59, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
