Addressing "compound-only" terms or meanings
editTODO: create a "reverse" template of km-redup showing terms entering compounds without their meaning. Draft of it as Template:km-component.
Basically, it would address the following cases :
- the echo syllables of reduplications who happen to be a real word (eg. ខិកខំ)
- (or even the echo syllables of reduplications who otherwise do not exist)
- words in compounds who do not carry in their meaning (eg. កក់ក្ដៅ)
- words in compound who don't have a meaning outside that compound, or can be traced back to a meaning but no longer used alone (eg. synonymous compound ឈឺថ្កាត់ sick+sick=sick, hypernym compound ទឹករងៃ (tɨk rɔngɨy) water+pus=pus).
These terms can be shown in the component's definition as:
- used in the compound កក់ក្ដៅ (kɑk kdaw): affectionate
- used as an alliteration in the compound ខិតខំ (khət khɑm): to try hard
- used in the compound ទឹករងៃ (tɨk rɔngɨy): pus
Or, if want to show that the meaning is attached to the compound as a whole, not the individual component:
- used in the compound កក់ក្ដៅ (kɑk kdaw, “affectionate”)
Case of words used figuratively/derivatively in a compound (eg. ពពែភ្នែក, or like "potato eye" in English), usually the first term of a compound.
Two sub-cases:
- the word can be used outside of the compound and retain the figurative/derivative meaning (ex: storm eye - the eye approaches).
--> We can write the new sense as an additional sense like this:
The issue with that presentation is we don't have a link to the full term if we ever want to make a separate entry.
- the word cannot be used outside of the phrase (love handle - I hold you by the handle??).
--> We're dealing with a separate lemma: mention the compound in the "Derived terms" section of the term, and link to their own page as a lemma.
Case of hypernym/hyponym compound (the word is the second term of the compound). Can be written like this:
Question:
Why did Headley present these compounds as a "IN" sub-senses of the term, rather than a separate compound entry?
To exemplify this inconsistency, compare H77 and H97 in the treatment of ខ្មាំងមិល:
- H77: "IN" meaning under the first term
ខ្មាំង /kmaŋ/
- very rude, profane. IN: ខ្មាំងមិល
- H97: own lemma
ខ្មាំងមិល /kmaŋ mil/
- very rude; profane
