kayak * >qajaavoq: =qaannakkut
=ajunaarpoq; _qajaasoqarajoqaaq,
_qajaangajappoq
The word "qajaavoq"
apparently means '(he) has perished in a kayak'. The curly brackets {qajaq; PI 319:8 qayau-} in OseP are explained in [Guide]How to
use the programme.
After a " * " in the
article from OseP come(s) the corresponding part(s)
of the purely Greenlandic dictionary P (= Jonathan Petersen: Ordbogeeraq, 1951). The sign ">" before "qajaavoq" indicates that the word occurs with a
translation (and again with ">" in front) in the first part
(before *) of the same article. A sign "_" is written before a few
other words which are formed from the same stem as "qajaavoq".
These signs gives them status as entry words.
Greenlandic words with another stem are given the sign "=".
A double click on "qajaq" (or "qajaq"
through [input]) gives:

If you give "qajaq" through the push-button [+], you obtain a
fuller OseP and no Kr:

("i83;213"
gives the same.) "-#qaannap", "-#qaannamut" etc. in Ose
(between "}" and "*") refer to (an)other
article(s) where the Greenlandic word occurs in an example. You may double
click on the word and obtain the example(s). These references (and the English
translations) were left out when you gave the word through the push-button
[full articles ,+]. More on the
references later.
" O " after an entry word
in Ose indicates that it is in Oqaatsit
(O, 1997) only; an " S " indicates that it is in Schultz-Lorentzen's dictionary (S = s, 1926) alone. " . "
indicates that the word is in both dictionaries, and then O is shown - with the
English translation (e) of s if you did not give the word through [full
articles ,+]: ">qajaq . kajak E kayak (with a man in it)". You may
obtain s by giving the word through the push-button [Ose ;]:
(s94,126) "qajaq >qajaq . kajak (med mand i)
(s94,127) "qajaq =qajaq =una =kiaana >sanaa : hvis værk er den kajak?
As explained in [Guide]How to use the programme, you may also give a Danish word
through [Ose ;] and see the first up to 100 article
segments in Ose(P) where the word occurs. Or you may
write another maximum number (1-200) and a space before the word given in.
Slant ("/") is used
extensively instead of "or", and an extra space is used with a
following "/ " for delimitation. Thus 'A B (/ C) D' (with
an extra space before B) means 'A B D' or 'A C D'. A pair of double slants is
used in a few cases with the meaning 'A//B C//D' = 'A C' or 'B D'.
There may be alternative dictionary
forms. E.g. 'A /S B' means that S has the second form (B) instead of A. 'A S/ B' means that S has both forms. And
similarly for O.
After a " * " later in the
article come(s) the corresponding entry or entries from P = Jonathan Petersen's
purely Greenlandic Ordbogeeraq (1951). Each entry
occupies one segment of the article. See also [Guide]Abbreviations
in (Ose)P.
As explained above, a sign
"_" in P indicates an entry word. The sign is replaced by
"€" or "-€" if the word occurs (with translation) in an
example in O, in another article. The sign "_" in P is replaced by
"#"/"-#" if the word is in an example in se only. It is
replaced by "§"/"-§" if the word is in an example in Kr
instead, and by "&" if it is in the Greenlandic text in Bdg alone. A distinction is made between entry words and
words (with a sign "=") in the Greenlandic text in OseP and Kr. The signs
"-€"/"-#"/"-§" in P refer to words in the text only
of O, se resp. Kr.
Ose is used as a stem lexicon. In the fuller Ose
(see above) there are references from a word's place in the system to other
articles where the word is translated. These references are the word in
question with signs "€"/"-€"/"#"/"-#"/"§"/"-§"/"&"
as in P. There are also some references with signs "%"/"-%"
to words with signs "_"/"=" in P (in the more detailed old
orthography), but they are left out when the programme will analyze the word
uniquely as having this stem - and when they are not needed to define the stem.
A few more words from (Bd)g
are added with a sign "&" in Ose. A
sign "-&" indicates that the word is (part of) a botanical name,
see below. Extra separators ("| ") are inserted so that no segment in
Ose contains more than three such references.
A word may occur with a translation
(or in the old orthography) in several places, but there is referred to them
only with the sign that is highest in the hierarchy
"€"/"-€"/"#"/"-#"/"§"/"-§"/"&"/"%"/"-%".
You can see all the occurencies if you give the word
through [analysis -] or [-+] and select the shown K/r/O/s/l/p/B/d/g.
The sign "," in Ose is used with some words that exemplify an affix; give
for instance "immikkoorpoq" through

i139;13 is
the article for the affix .#kkoorpoq . If the
exemplifying word is translated in the same article, the sign ":" is
used instead. Also in P if the example is there; give for instance "palasikkut" through [input]:

i139;21 is
the article for the affix .#kkut . "(4)"
before the curly brackets in the article means that the affix is added to a
noun stem, see [Grammar]Class digits, inflexions and
affixes. You may also enter "(4)" (with parentheses). "A"
before the translation stands for 'Affix meaning:'. "B"
means that there are examples of the affix in O = Oqaatsit.
The neutral sign "_" is
used in Ose with a number of affixes which otherwise
would be in P only. E.g. "/paqut" (or
"paqut" through [right part /] gives:

<føjes til navnestamme E is added to a

If the word (e.g. "qajaq") is given through the push-button [+-], the
articles are shown as they are in the dictionaries:

>qáinat, tq | -#qáinákut =pivoq: =qajauvoq.
The lexicon Ose
has "\ " instead of "E " before
the English translations (e) of S = s. The constant first part (here "qa") of the entry words in Ose
occurs once only, first in the article.
P = Ordbogeeraq
is shown in Samuel Kleinschmidt's orthography, with
the accent (= length marker) "`" instead of "~": àma (for ãma) = aamma, vìne = viinni.
I have kept the old orthography in the lexicon here because it gives
etymological and/or structural information that is lost in the orthography
introduced since 1973. (Some of this information is not historical however.)
The printed Ordbogeeraq
has: "qajaq, t áin -rtârpoq, -rsiorpoq, -gssiaq." I have added the implied first part of the words
and replaced "-" with a "%" (qaja%rtârpoq)
which disappears in the transformation to new orthography (-> qajartârpoq -> qajartaarpoq). When
a "-" is left out in P, I have written a "+" instead. A
final "." is replaced by " " in
the transformation.
A second edition of Ordbogeeraq by Nikolaj Rosing was published in 1967. Additions and relevant
changes in the second edition are shown here in square brackets [], beginning
with "/" when it is a change. Curly brackets {} enclose material
which is in the first edition only. Rosing rectified
verbs in {-agpâ, -igpâ, -ugpâ} to [-ápâ, -ípâ, -úpâ] for simplicity; it is
ignored here.
As said in [Guide]Introduction,
Bdg has been supplemented with the botanical names in
two flora books. Try e.g. "ulvefod" (Clubmoss):

A double click on (the latter part

Bdg: (n1,34) >Bjerg-ulvefod {Diphasiastrum alpinum} * N142 qivittut assaat R032

OseP(2): (i96;140 4) -&qivittut -§qivittunik |
A double click on "-&qivittut" (or "qivittut"
through the push-button [Bdg ']) gives the botanical
names which contain this Greenlandic word:
Bdg: (n1,34) >Bjerg-ulvefod {Diphasiastrum alpinum} * N142 qivittut assaat R032

You may also give a (word in a) latin name through [Bdg '].
