Grammar Tips 💡

[dwhieb]

For certain search terms like "a", "an", "the" or "in", "on", "at", it is better for a user to see a brief grammar explanation than any lexical entries. (It might be desirable to show grammatical entries too, but our database doesn't contain those yet.)

For example, a user searching for "on" or "at" should see a description of the locative suffix -ihk (and later, the entry for -ihk as well).

As a first implementation, we can set up a directory of Markdown files (one for each grammar tip), and a lookup function which displays the relevant Markdown file if certain key words are included in the search.

Potential Future Additions

• refer to paradigm tables (especially for pronouns), using the paradigm generator.
• Include links to Arok's grammar pages: https://plainscree.atlas-ling.ca/grammar/
