Spelling
editThe letter representing /ŋ/ is written ⟨ӈ⟩ invalid IPA characters (ӈ).
Long vowels are not represented in the entry name, but should always be indicated in the headword with a macron (e.g. ӈо̄ (ŋō)).
Entries and links
editMain entries should be created for the lemma of a word, its canonical form. Terms in lists of translations, related terms, etc. may link to the lemma. In Wiktionary the lemma is usually:
- Nouns, adjectives & proper nouns: nominative singular.
- Verbs: infinitive in -мӣ (-mī).
Supplementary entries may be created for variations of the term, usually simply linking to the lemma using a template such as {{inflection of}}
or {{alternative spelling of}}
.
Romanization
editEvenki Cyrillic terms are usually accompanied by an automatically generated Roman-alphabet transliteration based on an obsolete Evenki Latin alphabet.
