Meaning definitionThis field contains the lexicographer's definition of the lemma. In the case of polysemous lexemes, each sense of the lemma has only one definition. Each sense must therefore be documented through the procedure described here and should be added to this form by selecting the option "Add a sense." Mind, thought, reflection, contemplation.
DialectThis field is used to record forms that do not belong to standard Tibetan as found in the corpus of Buddhist literature or Central Tibetan literature. By default, the value of this field is "standard." Possible values include regional dialects. SociolectThis field can be used to indicate that the lemma is used by specific groups (e.g., age group), Buddhist traditions, or professions. By default, the value of this field is "standard."
StyleThis field documents style, register, connotations and any kind of pragmatic information. Relevant values include "honorific," "formal," "standard," "vulgar." h. Stage – Time periodThis field is mainly used for archaic language.
Tibetan syntactic categoryThis field contains information about the Tibetan syntactic category under which the lemma is classified. Syntactic and morphological categoryThis field refers to subcategories of a part of speech, e.g. noun, proper noun, transitive verb, etc. The taxonomy of these categories comprise standard syntactic categories. The morphological categories to be specified here include noun class, gender, possessive class, verbal voice, inflection class. An inflected word (usually a verb) may fall into diverse morphological categories at once, e.g. voice x, conjugation class y. Some may be syntactically relevant lexical classes such as the gender of a noun, others may be purely morphological classes such as inflection classes. n.
Morphological structureThis field contains the constituents of the lemma. In the case of a nominal compound, they represent various stems. In the case of a derivative (e.g., verbal forms), they represent a stem and a derived form. Since the items listed here can be identical to certain lemmas of the database, hyperlinks are a way to link this entry to others. Word formationThis field documents the word-formation process at the origin of the lemma stem, e.g. reduplication, bahuvrīhi, causative, denominal, intensive, etc.
DerivativesIn this field, lemmas that have the current lemma in their field "Morphological structure" are automatically referenced. Construction FrameThis field contains information about the syntactic and semantic construction frame. For example, different syntactic constructions for verbs with regard to their complement can be documented here. This field is used to provide specify the information contained in field "Morphological structure."
PhraseologyThis field lists relevant collocations in which the lemma is found. These include fixed expressions, such as technical terms, common phrases, idioms, and proverbs. If these phrases have lemma status, a link will be automatically generated. Semantic classesEach lexical item – at least those with a lexical meaning – belongs to one or more semantic classes. For instance, bear is an animal, anger is an emotion, bsang mchod is a ritual, etc. Even a simple word with a single sense may belong to several semantic classes.
Semantic relationsThis field provides information about mutual lexical relations to other lemmas that have the current lemma in their own "Semantic Relations" field. Common relations include synonymy, hyponymy/hyperonymy, cohyponymy: antonymy, converse relation, minimal contrast, part-whole relation. Encyclopedic informationThis field contains information on the concept communicated by the lemma, for example, in relation to a doctrinal, ritual, or cultural background. Links to external resources can be added to this field.
PictureThis field includes visual information about the lemma. Origin and cognatesThis field is used to document loans from other languages as well as morphologically or semantically related words from genetically related languages.
EtymologyThis field contains information on the etymology of the lemma. ExamplesA dictionary example aims at illustrating a specific sense or construction. Ideally, each word sense should be illustrated with a relevant example, particularly in the case of non-generic lemmas, such as technical terms, idiomatic expressions, etc. A dictionary example has two main functions: (1) It produces referenced evidence for the dictionary entry with regard to the semantic definition, the grammatical categorization, the stylistic marking, etc. (2) It facilitates the understanding of the described lemma in the user's texts. As a consequence, a dictionary example should be typical: (a) It illustrates exactly the described sense or construction of a lemma, (b) It represents a common collocation, (c) It is as simple and short as possible without any unnecessary grammatical/semantic/stylistic complications. ཐུབ་པའི་དགོངས་པའི་རྒྱན་ / munimatālaṃkāraḥ
SanskritThis field documents equivalent Sanskrit term(s) with unicode diacritic marks. cintā; buddhiḥ; citta ChineseThis field documents equivalent Chinese term(s) (unicode). 密意; 爲; 意樂; 密意
MongolianThis field documents equivalent Mongolian term(s). Bibliographical referencesInformation on the lemma may be included in published sources, primary and secondary. In some specific cases (e.g., technical terms, specialized terminology, etc.), it can be useful to list bibliographical references to further document a specific sense of the lemma. Any resource (monograph, article, dissertation, etc.) that is used as a reference should be added to the Bibliography page of the Lotsawa Workbench.
CommentThis field contains any relevant information about the lemma that is not included in the fields above. ProblemsThis field mentions issues and questions about the lemma that have not been resolved yet. This information is useful to produce list of lemmas requiring additional work and investigation. ahāvyutpatti 2634 has smad pa as a synonym for dgongs pa in reference to the Sanskrit term vigarhaḥ. However, the usage of dgongs pa in the sense of vigarhaḥ does not seem to be attested in the available textual sources. This point should be the object of future research.
