Lemma for Georgian verbs edit

pros and cons follow:

Verbal noun edit

Pros edit

  1. kinda feels right, as it is equivalent to infinitive
  2. translation is easy

Cons edit

  1. apparently
  2. the odds that verbal noun does not exist is more than that of present/future indicative
  3. difficult to understand meaning of inflectional form because one has to first deduce the meaning of current word and then apply inflectional rules

Present/future indicative edit

Pros edit

  1. it is easier for a reader to understand each inflectional form's meaning.

Cons edit

  1. translation is hell difficult

Current standard edit

Other options edit

  • learn arabic cut might have similar structure or it might just give some insights
  • maybe have verbal noun as lemma and {{ka-verb-related}} terms are obvious like inflectional forms
  • or maybe have VN and {{ka-verbal-related}} as lemmata and define as if they were infinitves ! :/ :D
  • or maybe have first person past as lemma. first-person-ness will turn she/he/it into I and past-ness will turn "is doing" into did. problem: present perfect :|
