Mii

perhaps this could also mean "let's", or "let us", as in "let's (let us) go play"

Nelom: This is nel with the suffix -om so it specifically means "fastness." I did expand its definition to include "quickness" but that's the furthest we'll be able to reasonably stretch nelom.

Beznan: Added "ellipse," for some reason it was an adjective before so I corrected it to a noun.

Premaal: This comes from prem "patience," "having patience." A word for tolerant would better derive from tholah, maybe tholaan.

Vahlad: Deleted.

Inkoraav: Personally I would be more in favor of removing "manage" from this word and creating a new (maybe semi-canon) word that means "to manage or administrate." The reason I say this is because inkoraav means "master-see," and while "manage" or "administrate" might be synonyms, "oversee" is really the most accurate translation for the word.

Dojuk: Good question, let's say dojuk is a noun only.

Mii: I feel like this would be a natural part of Dovahzul grammar (omitting words or leaving things to context) rather than part of a specific word's definition. Mii krif, "let us fight." If this is something we want to do, I could add it to the Learn page on pronouns.

Kolzakiiv: I think "blueprint" would be too specific, "blueprint" referring to a schematic that is printed on blue paper. I don't think there's anything about kolzakiiv that would imply a schematic of that kind.

Did "two" go from "ziin" to "zein" and then back to "ziin"? What's up with that?

Perhaps we can capitalize the first letter in árbol to be consistent with the other dictionary entries?

The word went from "Zein" to "Ziin" to avoid conflict with the canon word "Zein," meaning "worship."

@Morovahdin - as far as other language definitions go, if you see something that should be corrected you should message the original translator or if need be, you can correct it yourself by adding a "new" translation.

It was "ziin" before, but then it changed to "zein" and said that it was canon, which is what I find most intriguing about it. And then it went back to non-canon "ziin".

Why was it changed to "zein"?

Where are you seeing this? As far as I can find, all of the previous dictionary editions list the word "Zein" and list it as non-canon.

Well, I believe that most of the confusion came from this:

It still shows up like this.

And, yes, I am on at 9:39 PM. And I forgot to turn my wi-fi on.

 

I just noticed: it says it's a verb. Odd.

Yeah, that looks like an issue with the app. I'll have to look into that.
