The reason for this happening is almost certainly because not even Frommer uses the svin. convention to distinguish stative verbs from any other intransitive verb, and definitions from Na'viteri are entered directly into our database. Effectively, svin. does not even officially exist as a type.
A discussion in the Discord chat concluded that the svin. marking also does not provide anything particularly useful, and is a totally custom in-house type.
I would like to make a motion to:
1) convert all current svin. types to vin.
and
2) continue with vin. for all intransitive verbs, as released on Na'viteri
Would any second this?
