πρέπω

"There is no PoS here, the verb form does not exist". Should the entry even exist? DTLHS (talk) 23:52, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Having Greek πρέπει suffices IMO.  --Lambiam 08:57, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

@DTLHS, Lambiam, some Modern.Greek dictionaries have a lemma «πρέπω» as well as 3rd-person «πρέπει» (as DSMG ({{R:DSMG}}), others ({{R:Babiniotis 2002}}) have only the 3rd person. The 3rd.person means: must. The modern πρέπω means: I am worthy of but it is not used in 1st person except in a surrealistic phrase where 'disgrace' would speak and say: I am not suited for him: «Δεν του πρέπω» which does not occur. Since a page exists for the verb, i thought I would add a comment, as I usually follow the DSMG style. Of course, you may erase it. sarri.greek (talk) 11:57, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Usually, when no lemma form is attested (like e.g. for Ancient Greek χρή (khrḗ)), we do not create an entry for a reconstructed lemma form (such as *χρῶ), however plausible. However, this is not a hard rule; we do list Turkish imek, although this (infinitive) form is absent in modern Turkish.  --Lambiam 17:05, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
