This page describes the treatment of Evenki terms in Wiktionary entries, for readers and editors.
Entries and links
[edit]Main entries should be created for the lemma of a word, its canonical form. Terms in lists of translations, related terms, etc. may link to the lemma. In Wiktionary the lemma is usually:
- Nouns, adjectives & proper nouns: nominative singular.
- Verbs: infinitive in -дай/-дэй (-daj/-dəj) (assimilated -тай/тэй (-taj/təj) in some words).
Supplementary entries may be created for variations of the term, usually simply linking to the lemma using a template such as {{inflection of}}
or {{alternative spelling of}}
.
Romanization
[edit]Even Cyrillic terms are usually accompanied by an automatically generated Roman-alphabet transliteration based on an obsolete Even Latin alphabet.
