lojgloss gismu glossing Posted by pdf23ds on Mon 16 of Jun, 2008 12:31 GMT posts: 143 Use this thread to discuss the lojgloss gismu glossing page.
Posted by pdf23ds on Mon 16 of Jun, 2008 12:31 GMT posts: 143 It seems to me that it's very easy to forget the last vowel of a gismu. Besides being redundant, it's in an unemphasized syllable, and tends to be pronounced lazily. So I figure I could just look up all gismu by the first four letters, and just ignore any errors, or perhaps highlight the last vowel. Does this sound like a good idea?

There are two more things I tend to forget/misremember as well: - Switching vowels in cmavo like: a'o/o'a - Switching second two letters in gismu with CCVCV order: cfika => cifka I wonder if this kind of mistakes are common. At least the second could easily be detected. -- mu'o mi'e namor Am Montag 16 Juni 2008 14:28:54 schrieb Chris Capel: > It seems to me that it's very easy to forget the last vowel of a > gismu.

Hmm. Even the second can't always be detected. There are 36 gismu that have another gismu with such a switched pair of letters. (E.g. gerku, greku; tirna, trina). But there's still plenty of room to look for mistaken transpositions. (There are 26 gismu in a (rectu, certu) pair, 32 in a (nilce, nelci) pair, and 20 in a (tsani, tsina) pair.)
