@Sarri.greek:

• PoS: grammar or sense?:
  • Participles have entries as verb forms, adjectives (often together with a verb form entry as in gefordert) or participles (WT:EL#Part of speech allows "Participle"). There's no uniformity, as can e.g. be seen in gesungen (German participle as verb form, Anglo-Saxon participle as participle), gelost.
  • Adjectives substantivised are sometimes given in the adjective section with a label "substantive" (often missing the gender though ...), and sometimes have a noun section. Sometimes it got moved from the adjective into a new-created noun section.
• reference:
  • Latin and Greek (not Modern Greek, of course) are known as "classical languages" (Germ. klassische Sprachen), which is not to be confused with periods like "Classical Latin", "Classical Arabic". Sanskrit could be called the Indian classical language. But IMO that seems unrelated to "reference".
• form - type:
  • Non-Greek also used morph- as in Eng. morphology (study/science of forms).

Thank you so much @84.161.29.82: --I never got that ping, just saw your excellent guide. What a nice surprise--. Well, I got in Wiktionary by accident, I am no linguist, no lexicographer, no polyglot and I have always been troubled as a user with grammatical descriptions in dictionaries: To my simple mind a participle was a participle: its 'grammatical description'. How it functions, is another story. But your explanations based on a wider language range give me a better understanding. Reference languages: I meant languages that have given a lot of loans to many languages. We keep referring to them in etymologies. Vielen Dank, for your attention, and the time you have given to me. sarri.greek (talk) 09:00, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

  There are:
  • Koine   ({{m|en|Koine}} with italics)
  • English Koine   ({{m+|en|Koine}} with italics and text)
  • Koine   ({{l|en|Koine}} without italics -- l (small ell, not big ai) is short for Template:link)
• IPA stress
  There are also:
  • IPA (suprasegmentals) & IPA (complete chart) which comes with example "ˌfoʊnəˈtɪʃən" (phonetician) and ˌf- shows the mark goes before the syllable.
  • w:en:International Phonetic Alphabet#Suprasegmentals: "stress (symbol goes before stressed element)". I once went so far to learn more about some IPA diacritics. On Wikipedia and Wiktionary there are also examples on certain pages, e.g. κλειδί (kleidí) (see "Pronunciation").
