Term/sense module structure

  • export.title — optional; custom table title (e.g. "Realization of 'strong R' between vowels"). Overrides the language default.
  • export.meaning — optional; meaning/gloss (alternative to gloss).
  • export.gloss — optional; short meaning for the table.
  • export.note — optional; single note key or string, or list of note keys.
  • export.notes — optional; list of note keys.
  • export.source / export.sources — optional; source keys.
  • export.last_column — optional; label for the data column (default "Words"; e.g. "Realization").
  • export.syns — required; table mapping variety/location names (keys from the language data module) to a list of term entries. Each entry can be a string or a table (e.g. { ipa = "[ɽ]" } or { term = "word" }).

Example (custom title and data column, IPA realizations):

local export = {}

export.title = "Realization of 'strong R' between vowels"
export.meaning = ""
export.note = "realization of 'strong R' between vowels"
export.last_column = "Realization"

export.syns = {
	["ALERS-158"] = { { ipa = "[ɽ]" } },
	["ALERS-175"] = { { ipa = "[x]" } },
}

return export

Note: This amalgamation of terms comes from a number of different academic papers focused on the unique varieties and languages spoken in the Yoruboid dialectal continuum which extends from eastern Togo to southern Nigeria. The terms for spoken varieties, now deemed dialects of Yorùbá in Nigeria (i.e. Southeast Yorùbá, Northwest Yorùbá, Central Yorùbá, and Northeast Yorùbá), have converged with those of Standard Yorùbá leading to the creation of what can be labeled Common Yorùbá (Funṣọ Akere, 1977). It can be assumed that the Standard Yorùbá term can also be used in most Nigerian varieties alongside native terms, especially amongst younger speakers. This does not apply to the other Nigerian Yoruboid languages of Ìṣẹkírì and Olùkùmi, nor the Èdè Languages of Benin and Togo.
