wiʔaac and welcome to the Lushootseed Wiki Dictionary project. Although still in beta, the basic configuration of this wiki project is nearly complete.
The goal of this dictionary is to define every word in every dialect of Lushootseed in Lushootseed, and translate every Lushootseed into English and the other languages of the world. See also Lut Wikipedia in the left sidebar for the online Lushootseed encyclopedia.
Sound files are now enabled. See [sqigʷəc]] for an example.
Signing up and copyright
This wiki can be edited by anyone, but as a measure to reduce vandalism, editors are required to first create an account and verify it by e-mail. After you have created an account, to display Lushootseed letters when editing a page, please go to "preferences" in the upper right corner, click the "gadgets" tab and check "<gadget-Edittools>."
The copyrights for the creation of new entries, editing of existing entries and all other activities are retained solely by the owner of this website under the copyrights granted as per Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0).
Creating a new entry
A template is now available that simplifies the process for making new entries. Only a noun version is currently available. To use it, go to Create_new_noun.
The other way to create a new entry is to enter the word in the search box in the upper right corner of any page and press enter. An option will appear to create a new entry if it does not yet exist. Please note that all Lushootseed entries should start with a small letter ("sqigʷəc" not "Sqigʷəc"), and English entries should start with a capital letter only when that is the standard form ("Monday," "Washington," etc.)
- Tip: There is a lot of formatting in entries. To help, we are working on a template that you can fill in. In the meantime, the easiest way to make an entry with formatting is to copy the contents of a different entry and just replace where necessary. Here are some examples:
- səxʷpupuhigʷəd - with English, Cherokee and Spanish translations
- kʷəsyú - a dxʷləšucid noun with a cited source
- Concrete - an English place name
- Note on accent marks: Entry words in Lushootseed should not have accent marks. They can be added as alternate spellings. See swədəbš for an example.
