Diary 2025-12-26
I realized today that I was doing multi-part prompts out of order again, so I did a bunch of prompts to my satisfaction just so I wouldn't be bothered by that for too long. What I need to do next is to review all of my lexicon entries and ponder how I want to present them. I've kind of cheated my way around a bunch of dictionary-related questions by avoiding thinking about presentation for now. I'm not planning to lock down presentation or actually implement it, but I've got enough data in here that it would behoove me to have some idea of how I want to portray it.
Anyway, let's see what I should consider, providing I turn on my laptop early enough tomorrow.
- Fix short glosses: replace spaces with dashes, and generally move nuance into the long gloss
- Furthermore, some short glosses are in need of correction. The demonstratives aren't marked as demonstratives, the locative copula isn't defined as the locative copula, and I haven't figured out what to call one of the pronouns, so the current gloss is just pretty wrong...
- I want to mark many nouns with a preferred measure word.
That last one, it probably makes sense to mark them after the measure words exist, which means I need to figure out how to do more sophisticated semantic drift operations.
I really don't want to be awake too much longer, so I'm going to wrap this up.
Good night.
