Defs seem a bit scattershot[edit]

I've had a go at reworking the def organization a bit to try to clarify that this refers to documentation in general. That said, is encyclopedia really appropriate here? Wouldn't that be a kind of naaltsoos? Or does the term naaltsoos on its own and without any additional context really mean encyclopedia? -- Eiríkr ÚtlendiTala við mig 06:46, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that an encyclopedia is a kind of naaltsoos, specifically an ínsadoobíídiiya, but I think it is more common to call an encyclopedia a naaltsoos than an ínsadoobíídiiya. So naaltsoos is a hypernym that includes papers, books, and encyclopedias, but encyclopedias are probably more likely to be called naaltsoos than ínsadoobíídiiya. —Stephen (Talk) 12:01, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
