A few things which I am fairly sure are wrong, but which I do not, at this time, have the boldness to change, submitted in the fanciful hope that someone might soon decide to start editing again:

  1. Some affixes having a hyphen, most, not. DAKA seems to use a hyphen for the truncative ones (e.g. -nngapput, -palaaq) and a hyphen + colon for the additive ones (e.g. -:palaaq, -:livoq, -:taalivaa).
  2. Why do we call the affixes morphemes? That seems unnecessarily vague, and differs from the headers given.
  3. Adjectives: no such thing. Of the ones we currently have, most are verbs, but some, like saamerleq, avannarleq are nominals.
  4. Verb definitions speaking of an "infinitive".

Points 3 and 4 are now fixed.__Gamren (talk) 10:36, 27 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Transitive verbs like imerpoq, nerivoq should probably be lemmatized to their 3rd sg to 3rd sg indicative.__Gamren (talk) 09:09, 18 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
