Introduction
[edit]The aim of this page is to explain the norms used in Esperanto entries. It is intended to complement, not supersede, WT:CFI and WT:ELE.
Suffixes
[edit]If a suffix is always followed by the same part-of-speech suffix, then the suffix together with the suffix which always follows it should be considered as a single suffix for purposes of listing derived terms. For example: -igi and -iĝi. Sometimes, the suffix without the part-of-speech suffix is also listed, but marked as a root form using {{eo-root of}}
, as on -ar-.
If a suffix can be followed by different part-of-speech suffixes, then the derived terms should be listed under the bare suffix, and there could be a usage note saying that the affix does not modify the part of speech of a word. Examples: -aĉ-, -et-.
Resources
[edit]Corpora
[edit]- Project Gutenberg’s Esperanto texts have been chopped, and listed by word frequency (number of texts the word appears in) at User:Prosfilaes/Esperanto corpus.
- http://tekstaro.com/ is also available as a searchable corpus of Esperanto.
Durably archived works not on Google Books or Google Scholar
[edit]- A number of works are available in the constructed language collection of the Austrian National Library, including various issues of Forumo by Ligo de Samseksamaj Geesperantistoj, namely 1-138 and 140-145.
External links
[edit]Reta Vortaro is a contributive project where a moderator examines the contributions before publishing them. Articles are written in XML format and are based on a specific DTD. One can link from any Wikimedia project to ReVo using the code [[ReVo:radik]] or [[ReVo:radik|radiko]] where radik is the word root or base part of the word (i.e., without its grammatical part-of-speech ending) to which one wants to link. It will result in: radiko. Some more examples: ar, ekvaci, nombr, difin
Letters
[edit]Esperanto uses these letters:
- (Latin script letters) litero; Aa, Bb, Cc, Ĉĉ, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg, Ĝĝ, Hh, Ĥĥ, Ii, Jj, Ĵĵ, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Oo, Pp, Rr, Ss, Ŝŝ, Tt, Uu, Ŭŭ, Vv, Zz
