Talk:araha

@RichardW57 This is the lemma form, even though it's not the nominative singular. In Wiktionary, as in the vast majority of modern Pali dictionaries, the lemmas form is the stem, e.g. see [1]. This is also the tradition for Sanskrit. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 16:34, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@AryamanA Sorry, my mistake. I thought it was an early attempt to enter the word arahā, and I was picking up hints that it could be the vocative - best through the out and out participle arahaṃ. Is there any way to enable someone who can only type ASCII to find the word arahaṃ? - RichardW57 (talk) 16:52, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@RichardW57 Why can you type ASCII only? We gotta learn you to type everything. The us(intl) layout has key <AE11> { [ minus, underscore, yen, dead_belowdot ] };, i. e. you press AltGr+Shift+Minus using this international layout and then M, or you use direct Unicode input, or better if you use the IME Fcitx (you use an IME anyway if you deal with Indian languages at some point, right) idem but even with search by character names.

@Fay Freak Are you saying that the {{also}} template is redundant? I thought that was for the convenience of users with typing issues rather than memory issues.

FWIW, I can type the Indic scripts that matter to me using raw X if I have access to the keyboard layout definitions. Fcitx needs repairing to work with AltGr, and I can't find a safe way to share with them what they need to do to fix it. - RichardW57 (talk) 19:16, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@RichardW57 Lol no. {{also}} can be used. I thought you are the “someone”. You can just create arahaṃ if this is an existing form of this word, as a participle, as a non-lemma form. Just look how participles are else created. The system will lead people onto the page when they search araham. Fay Freak (talk) 20:09, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@RichardW57 If you type "araham" in the Wiktionary search bar and the entry arahaṃ exists it will automatically redirect you there. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 21:27, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
