Beware the edits, ma tsmukan...

I haven't read a lot the blog, so it can lead me to mistakes.

Well, zeyko isn't a verb, it is only a special form of a verb.

Compare it to how you might see done in an English dictionary since it has the specific meaning ready. But you still cannot take the participle of done (doned?  ;D).

Edit: kind of ninja'ed  ;)

Tìtstewan

Beware the edit as well for your question about vezeyko. :)

It has to be mentioned in the dictionary.

It is:


zeyko: [zEj."k·o] PF vtr. heal, fix (derived from
zo be well and «eyk» causative infix
)

It is verb :) with infix inside
As we know, that infix positions are z<0><1><2>o, zeyko is z<eyk><1><2>o, so position <0> is already occupied - and you can't put <äp/eyk> again

zeyko is a special case of an inflected word used by K. Pawl in one of his posts, emails, etc. The original author of the dictionary (Taronyu) established a rule where if Pawl made special mention or use of an inflected form of a word, that word appeared in the dictionary, despite not being in lexical form. If you look through the dictionary, you will actually find there are a fair number of these words. And I believe in most cases, they are noted as inflected forms.

A case could be made for removing them from the dictionary. An equally strong case could be made for leaving them in. This is a discussion, though (and I believe it has been previously discussed somewhere) for a different forum and topic.

(See this post for background :))

The infix locations for hena were wrong; I fixed those. I also built in a special case for zenke, since it has strange infixes. For example, zen-uy-eke. You can see that the infix locations for zenke are now shown as z.en.(e)ke, and the -e- is inserted when uy or ats is used.

Irayo ma Kame Ayyo'koti, Vawmataw, Plumps sì Tìtstewan for noticing the hena problem and talking about zenke :)

Yeah, despite zenke being pronounced as "zengke", the g never really makes it into the official spelling.

fngä' (relieve oneself) and 'ia (lose oneself [spiritually]) can't take -äp-.

Ah, thanks for noticing! +1 :) So the buttons for äp and awn should be disabled for all intransitive verbs, right?

Unfortunately the tool don't know which verbs are transitive and which ones are intransitive, so I need to think about this a little bit. Maybe I can add a database of which verbs are transitive... :-\

<awn> works only with transitive verbs. <äp> is weird. Usually, it work with transitive verbs only, but there is the nice thing, that some si-verbs have <äp> inside and such verbs are intransitive.
These are the current known säpi verbs:
lew säpi
win säpi
ioi säpi
piak säpi
tstu säpi

Okay, that's useful, thank you :)

Whoo, even more complexity in the code ::)

I think we can use -äp- with si-verb if that action could have a direct object. Even if grammatically the verb is intransitive, sometimes an action anyway could have a direct object. I call such verbs «pseudo-transitive». For example an action «to open» by logic could have a direct object. But the verb piak si is a si-verb and could not have a direct object with -ti. Instead we use -ru. So I think that -äp- could be used in pseudo-transitive verbs.

I found that line about <äp> in intransitive on Na'viteri:
Quote from: http://naviteri.org/2011/12/one-more-for-2011/
[...]
But what happens if the verb is intransitive? Reflexive –äp- is only used with transitive verbs (and some si- constructions).
[...]
and some more example about reflexive thing like:

Moe smon moeru fìtsap.
'We know each other.'

Po yawne lu snor.
'He loves himself.'

etc.

So you're saying that *oe srung säpi is valid..?
I'm not so sure. I'd say it has to be oe srung si oer.
The exceptions are exceptions, and everything else operates under the rule normally.
