Language can be a tricky thing to document.
In this particular case, the verb “achaller” can have several meanings, two of which are not reflexive, and the third can be non-reflexive or reflexive.
Instead of trying to wedge it all into one word ensemble, better to create to Wordle ensembles:
Basic infrastructure setup for storage of expressions and displaying them on the pages of related words.
Creation of the expression tiddlers done via the standard TW interface (create a tiddler, title it with the expression, then tag the tiddler with however many words in the dictionary along with the tag “expr” for expression.)
Setting up a specialized interface for entering expressions and linking them to words: maybe later when it hurts too much not to have that.
Meaning of the expressions entered via all of the infrastructure I’ve already setup for editing the details of words. (i.e. reduce, reuse, recycle).
The word “amour” shown in a new window:
Editing the word via the dialog:
When it hurts too much to not set something up, then it is time to set something up.
I had setup the “phonology” section for every single “word Ensemble” created for a word. Necessary to handle scenarios in which a phonetic spelling applies to various actual words. For example, the phonetic word “té” can be for
Most of the time, though, it is the same phonology info for all word ensembles, and it was getting to be a signficant pain in the caboose having to double (or triple) the same info over and over again.
Now, the phonologie info can be entered once (as info for the word), and that applies to all word ensembles. However, if needed, any word ensemble can override the phonetic info.
Two screenshots …
The phonetic word “amooroe” (amoureux), with the phonetic info appearing just once:
The phonetic word “té”, with phonology info for each word ensemble:
For now, duplicated code for each phonology scenario, eventually to be de-duplicated.
I now have everything setup for references. Now just a matter of transferring references from the old version to the new version of Le P’tit Aurèle.
For the giggles, I’ve started putting together a map of French-Acadian communities with Google Maps: Le P'tit Aurèle — - Version: 2024-12-21 01:27am - un lexique du français acadiena lexicon of Acadian French
Recently, I repurposed “definitions” as a quick way to embed notes in edit text fields:
I’ve also added a more formal “Note” section for each Word Ensemble, and the section only shows in view mode IF there are related values, but the section always shows in edit mode.
Example of a word that has notes (view mode and edit mode):
