@Atitarev: Re diff, I'm aware of that, but wouldn't it be better to create a declension module? I mean, I could add the forms manually, but that's tedious work, which is bound to be replaced by a more efficient method. Especially in a case like this, where the declension is easy to templatize: fixed accent, fixed stem. PUC00:37, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@PUC: I know it's tedious and time-consuming but would also good for learning and finding any issues, e.g. we need and optional vocative case and deal singularia and pluralia tantum. The Russian module (as an example) arrived when there was enough examples to base it on. There is not enough documentation on how Belarusian inflections work, unfortunately but it's so much better when there is something. Ivan Štambuk built all Serbo-Croatian inflections manually but I guess he had a passion for that work. I don't know how soon we can start work on the Belarusian inflection modules. --Anatoli T.

@Atitarev, all right, I'll keep that in mind and add declension tables from now on. Note, though, that I've mostly kept away from Belarusian recently. I'm still interested in improving Wiktionary's basic coverage, but I don't think I'm going to learn the language any time soon. (I need to improve on my Russian first, which is still far from fluent...)
It's unfortunate that there are so few resources, and so few speakers. It seems like Guldrelokk could have helped, but unfortunately he's not been active for a long time...
On another note, it's been nice to see the recent activity in Bulgarian. By the way, if you're looking for some basic terms, there are still a lot of Bulgarian red or yellow links at Appendix:List of Proto-Slavic adjectives, Appendix:List of Proto-Slavic nouns/Body, etc. PUC09:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@PUC: Thanks for the links. No pressure to add inflections if it's to discourage you but if you do it's appreciated. It can be time-consuming and it will be even harder with your knowledge of Slavic languages. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 10:17, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
