Talk:maajii-
Reformatted this page, but still needs more edit
Most all Ojibwe verbs have a preverb and a postverb so saying "derived" is sort of redundant since most all Ojibwe verbs are "derived", depending on the postverb that is attached. Also, most nouns are either derived from the verbs or have the same root as the verbs themselves. For a true derived word, its compounds, participle or diminutives should be listed instead.

I had other comments to the above, but since have retracted. See gichi- and its lay out. CJLippert 17:07, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

This entry needs to be split into two separate entries. The original maajii- can remain as a preverb, but what here falls under the Verb headword should be moved to the maad- namespace. I can do the editing and necessary clean-up, but i need help making sure the history isn't lost. SteveGat (talk) 18:07, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- A common/easy way to do this is:
- If most of the content, or the content that was present through most of the entry's history, is going to stay at maajii-, then just copy ("move") whatever content is supposed to be at maad- over to that entry with an edit summary saying that you're copying it from maajii- and "see maajii- for edit history for attribution" or the like.
- If most of the content should be at maad-, then move the page and copy what needs to be at maajii- back over to maajii-, with the same kind of edit summary as above.
