Hi. Please don't put {{wikipedia}} in an entry if Wikipedia has no such article. That just creates a misleading dead link. Equinox ◑ 16:40, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't realize I did. Jawitkien (talk) 16:41, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Welcome

Thanks for your additions. Here's some stuff that might help with the formatting etc. Equinox ◑ 20:38, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Remember WT:ELE to learn how to format (or look at other entries). You made a bit of a mess with "sicky" etc. Equinox ◑ 03:33, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Lojban pronunciations

I wonder the title in Wiktionary for the Pronunciation should be one of these "loan words" fu'ivla

1. vlaba'u

   (vla=valsi=word) + (ba'u=bacru=x1 utters verbally/says/phonates/speaks [vocally makes sound] x2)

2. or uenba'u

   (uen=uenzi=x1 is an utterance or text about x2) + (ba'u=bacru=x1 utters verbally/says/phonates/speaks [vocally makes sound] x2)

Support:

http://vlasisku.lojban.org/vlaba'u says x1=b1 pronounces x3=v1 as x2=b2.
http://vlasisku.lojban.org/uenzi says x1 is an utterance or text about x2

Lojban notations

When you combine two words such as mli+bau this is combining milxe & bacru.
(mli is rafsi of milxe)
(bau is rafsi of bacru)
but milxe has an x1 and an x2  
while bacru has a different x1 and x2
but the definition for milxe says:
x1=m1=b1 whispers/mumbles/murmurs/coos utterance x2=b2;
x1=m1=b1 speaks softly.

This is meaning that the x1 for mlibau is the x1 for milxe and the x1 for bacru is also the x1 for mlibau.
The also is meaning the x2 for mlibau is the x2 for bacru and the x2 for milxe is ignored/dropped.
