  • Answer to how do I fix the vertical alignment in tables, if I have unequal #s of lines in the cells? is: Start EVERY row with |- valign=top (at least in rows where it's needed - simplest to do all), and it applies across the row.
  • In [en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Index:Bulgarian], {{index/Bulgarian}} gives a clickable "Index"-bar with clickable linksthat take you to each letter, on a sub-page. But I don't understand how this works yet!
  • In sub-pages of [bg.wiktionary.org/wiki], __БЕЗСЪДЪРЖАНИЕ__ {{А Я}} gives a clickable "index" bar that takes you down the page (like a "Contents" box).


[edit] Б

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
баба (т.) [1] Родопи? баща, татко father
бабайк/а, /о=бабанко (т.) баща, татко father
бабки стари дребни монети, наниз tiny old coins, used as decoration
бабочерно, бабучерно   памучно cotton
баг не баша не плаща данък за нещо


Using class="wikitable" gives a border:

word,
[source], origin		 used
(region)		 български English translation
баба (т.) [2] баща, татко father
бабайк/а, /о=бабанко (т.) баща, татко father
бабки стари дребни монети, наниз tiny old coins, used as decoration
бабочерно, бабучерно памучно cotton
баг не баша не плаща данък за нещо

[edit] Next format test:

A definition list:

term 1
definition 1
term 2
definition 2
term 3
definition 1
definition 2


Let's try a combined way to implement these (I wanted to put the definition into columns but I don't think it's a fair way to stretch the format! plus, it didn't work):

баба [3] (т.) (Родопи??)
баща, татко (Engl: father)
бабайк/а, /о=бабанко (т.)
баща, татко (Engl: father)
бабки
стари дребни монети, наниз (Engl: tiny old coins, used as decoration)
бабочерно, бабучерно
памучно (Engl: cotton)
баг не баша
не плаща данък за нещо

[edit] References

  1. ^ Author, []: Book. Publisher, year
  2. ^ Author2, []: Book. Publisher, year
  3. ^ Author 3, []: Book. Publisher, year

[Maybe these should all point to a sub-page? That would be more like "end-notes" than footnotes.]


[edit] Summary/evaluation of these tests

Ultimately I think maybe I like the "class="wikitable"" one the best. No borders gets too confusing; the "new format tests" ones get too long.

To do:
* define % of column widths
* figure out how to format all the stuff I want to include in the first column (a pointer to where I found 
  the word, the origin if known)
* decide how to include what region the word is USED in (again, if known).

[edit] Bulgarian Dialect Words, as reflected in traditional songs

This list was initially compiled by Martha Forsyth in 1988 from the glossaries in the following song collections:

 * Need to standardize the ref. format.
 * How can I make this be a page (or whatever) that references go to,
 so it doesn't have to be repeated on each page?

some words added from my own research

By now I have many more collections which could be added, and even in 1988 there were two very full and regionally specialized glossaries that I did not include, from the following song collections:

А. Райчев, Народни песни от средните Родопи, София 1973
СбНУ, книга 57 - Г. Горов, Странджански фолклор, София 1983

In compiling this list I have followed certain principles:

  • I have omitted certain kinds of predictable phonetic changes (listing a word only once): Clarify this!
adding/dropping of an initial "х"
adding/dropping of an initial "й": йовчар, ябаджия
phonetic "у" for "о"; "а", "о" for "ъ" (and vice versa); "и" for "е"
"дж, дз" for "ж, з", or vice versa
(However, sometimes I do cross-reference, or even list the word under both spellings.)
  • Explanations by the singer are in "quotes".
  • I have amalgamated definitions from the various sources. I have tried to avoid redundancy...but I would rather err by including redundant definitions than take the chance of missing a subtlety by deciding to omit a definition.
  • Glossaries usually list words in exactly the form in which they appear in the song in question (singular/plural for nouns, the precise person and tense for verbs). By comparing the listings in the various sources, I have listed words as they would appear in a standard dictionary whenever possible: nouns in the singular (without the definite article) and verbs in the first person singular.
  • Where I know or suspect that a word is peculiar to one particular region I have so indicated in parentheses. But (CAUTIONS!) a) I know that this process is very incompletely realized; and b) most of the indications of region mean ONLY that I found the word in a regional song collection and suspect - but am not sure - that the word is a local one.
