Ideas

Other glossaries

It occurs to me that there are other glossaries out there on the Internet that might be open to inclusion in Vicífhoclóir. This might be an easy way to add entries once we have a standard worked out, but the status of these glossaries would need to be checked and perhaps permission sought. I'm thinking of things like an Oll-Liosta Téarmaíochta, an Foclóir Parlaiminte and an Foclóir Fhiontair as well as various glossaries by An Gúmwhich are available through acmhainn.ie.

Just thought I’d get the thought out there while it was in my head. ☸ Moilleadóir 11:57, 16 Meán Fómhair 2007 (UTC)☏

plugin for firefox

Hi, I just made this plugin for ga.wiktionary for the Firefox search, maybe it is useful, best regards, --éan _(:> )=| 02:15, 23 Feabhra 2008 (UTC)

Oh super! Thanks, SB. I'm adding this to my FF browser here. Where do you get the time for all this??!!! We must add this to our "resources" page - Alison ^❤

:) If You don't like the icon we can change this easily (I just made another colour to distinguish the search engines easier). Don't ask me about time, I hardly sleep to have more of it, don't worry... Best regards, --éan _(:> )=| 17:34, 23 Feabhra 2008 (UTC)

Aistriúcháin Ainmneacha na Míonna

Sna hailt na míonna le haghaidh Catalóinise, aistrítear "març" go "Márta" ach "desembre" go "Mí na Nollag" (agus an rud céanna i "maig" is "novembre"). Ba cheart stíl amháin a úsáid. Is fearr liom "Márta", "Nollaig", srl., mar úsáidtear iad sna sonraí logchaighdeáin Unicode. —Leftmostcat 05:53, 4 Bealtaine 2008 (UTC)

Tá difríocht mhór ann idir sonraí logchaighdeán agus sainmhíniú foclóra. Le bheith cruinn, ba cheart Mí na Bealtaine srl. a scríobh i sainmhínithe toisc gur féilte iad Bealtaine, Samhain agus Nollaig chomh maith le hainmneacha míonna.

Athróidh mé iad go "Mí na [[Nollaig|Nollag]]" srl. áfach! Ní fiú duine a sheoladh chuig leathanach an ghinidigh. ☸ Moilleadóir ☎ 00:54, 9 Bealtaine 2008 (UTC)

Cuil

Hello everybody. Sorry not to speak irish.

My question is about this new search engine which claims to be an irish word for knowledge (here). What is the correct spelling, cuil, cùil, cúil, cuíl, or other ?

You can answer here, or on fr:Wiktionnaire:Proposer un mot/Archive 07 2008#cuil --Réglé, as you prefer. Thanks in advance. --Szyx 07:39, 29 Iúil 2008 (UTC)

I've attempted to answer over there. Moilleadóir - any ideas? - Alison ^❤ 08:38, 29 Iúil 2008 (UTC)

Coimhlint Athraithe!!! You beat me to it while I was composing. ;P See below. ☸ Moilleadóir ☎ 09:05, 29 Iúil 2008 (UTC)

In fact, I've just sent them an e-mail about this (amongst other things) this afternoon.

This word does not mean ‘knowledge’ in any conventional sense. A speaker of Modern Irish would most likely interpret it as meaning ‘fly’ (mouche!). The word they are referring to is the word for ‘hazel’ which is coll in both Modern and Old Irish. In Old Irish the plural and genitive singular was written cuill (modern coill).

The connection with knowledge comes from mythology. There are a few different stories, but here an extract from one that I happen to have on my hard disk (from Old-Irish-L, September 2000) - from Cormac's Cup:

Atchi didiu topur taitneamach isin lis, 7 coíc srotha ass, 7 na sloigh imascach ic ol usci na sroth. Nai cuill buana oscind in tobuir. Focerdaidh andsin na cuill corcarrda a cnaí isin topur conus-tennat na coíc eicne filead isin toput, co curtar a mbolga for na srothaibh. Fuaim eassa na sroth sin didiu, ba bindi na cach ceol a cantais.

As e in topur adcon[n]arcais cusna coic srothaibh ass .i. topur in fis. Is iad na cuic cétfadha triassa tarrthaitear in fis, 7 didiu ní bia dan lais nach ní na hiba dig asin tobur fesin 7 asna srothaibh. Lucht na n-illdan is iad eabhus estib diblínaib.

He sees then a bright/splendid/pleasant well/spring in the courtyard, & five streams out of it, & the companies/throngs in turn [read 'immasech'] drinking the water of the the streams. Nine everlasting hazel trees (are) above the well/spring. There the purple/crimson hazel trees cast down their nuts into the well/spring so that the five poet-salmon in the well/spring crack them, and so their bubbles are put on the streams. The waterfall sound of those streams then, was sweeter than any music that (they) would sing.     {translation by Dennis King}

The fountain which thou sawest, with the five streams out of it, is the Fountain of Knowledge, and the streams are the five senses through which knowledge is obtained(?) And no one will have knowledge who drinketh not a draught out of the fountain itself and out of the streams. The folk of many arts are those who drink of them both.     (translation from Irische Texte)

Somewhere along the line there is also a story about the salmon eating the hazelnuts and becoming the famed Bradán Feasa (‘Salmon of Knowledge/Wisdom’) which the poet Finn Eces takes 7 years to catch. He then tells his apprentice, Find mac Cumail, to cook it for him, warning him not to eat its flesh. Fionn burns his thumb and immediately puts it in his mouth, thus gaining all the world’s knowledge.

So, in a very roundabout way you can get from hazel trees (cuill) to hazelnuts to salmon to knowledge, but only in a very abstract poetic sense.

I would pronounce it more like the English word quill by the way. I’m not 100% sure of Old Irish IPA conventions, but it might be /kˠɪʟʲ/.

New UK wikimedia chapter

A plan is in the works to found a new UK chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation, and we are currently gathering support from the community. If you are interested in being part of this new UK chapter as a member, a board member or as someone with a general interest in the chapter, please head over to m:Wikimedia UK v2.0 and let us know. We also welcome help in making finishing touches to the plans. An election will be held shortly for the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board, which will take the chapter forward, starting to raise funds and generally supporting the Wikimedia community in the UK.

Úsáid an Ailt i dTeidil

Bhíos ag smaoineamh ar úsáid an ailt i dteidil leathanach agus measaim nár chóir dúinn é a úsáid. Má táim ar lorg focail i bhfoclóir, ní chuardaím ar "the Soviet Union" nó "an Ghearmáin" ach ar "Soviet Union" nó "Gearmáin". Is féidir linn "an" a chur san iontráil, ach tá ciall le teideal gan é, dar liomsa. Cad a cheapann sibh? (Tá brón orm agus abair liom mura bhfuil an chúis soiléir.) —Leftmostcat 10:19, 4 Eanáir 2009 (UTC)

Is dócha gur cuma cén teideal a úáidtear chomh fada is go bhfuil 'redirect' ón gceann a úsáidtear go dtí an leagan eile. Sílim féin gur fearr an t-alt a fhágáil sa teideal toisc gurb é sin ainm ceart na tíre (seachas dár ndóigh tíortha nach nglacann an t-alt ar nós Éire, Sasana, Angóla, 7rl) Ní bhfeicfí 'Gearmáin' scríofa leis féin go minic, an t-aon sampla gur féidir liom smaoineamh ar ná sa fhrása 'ón nGearmáin', ach mar a dúirt mé, má tá 'redirect' ann geobhfar an leathanach ceart ar aon nós.

—Scríobh an t-úsáideoir Usjes (plé) an trácht thuas gan é a shíniú • dréachtaí) 04:39, 5 Eanáir 2009

Creidim go bhfuil fadhbanna ag baint le n-úsáid an ailt i dteidil leathanach, m.sh. faoi láthair ní gheobhaidh tú toradh ar bith ar chuardach le haghaidh Gearmáin agus féach ar an gcatagóir Gaeilge: ainmfhocail - an bhfuil an Ghearmáin le fáil faoi G? Aontóinn leat go mba cheart an t-alt a úsáid i dteideal leathanaigh sa Vicipéid ach is foclóir é seo agus b'fhearr an t-aonad teangeolaíoch is bunúsaí a úsáid mar teideal. Mar sin féin, ceapaim gur riachtanach an t-alt a chur isteach i líne an cheannfhocail (m.sh. an Ghearmáin, bain.² (gu. na Gearmáine)). Ansin gheofá toradh ar chuardach le haghaidh Gearmáin agus an Ghearmáin (gan redirect a chruthú) agus bheadh sórtáil cheart ann sna catagóirí. ☸ Moilleadóir ☎ 16:29, 10 Bealtaine 2009 (UTC)

Bonjour du Wiktionnaire

Póg (I'm sure it's not appropriate, but it's an irish word I learned in the book below -- I meant "hello", but "kiss" is a good approximation ;-)

Je suis en train d'entrer dans le Wiktionnaire les mots de L'irlandais de poche, Assimil évasion, ISBN 2-7005-0279-5, 2003. Des choses comme bosca litreach ou sonas. Cela vous intéressait-il de m'aider, en particulier pour les prononciations ?

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Sorry for delivering you a message in English. Please help translate the pages on the referendum on Meta and join the translators mailing list.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 00:10, 15 Eanáir 2012 (UTC)
