"Ordbogeeraq" may mean 'the/a small Ordbog(i) [i.e. Dictionary]'. It does. "0" before the digits (00, 01, 03 etc.) indicates that the programme has been unable to recognize the left part (<Ordboge> resp. <Ordbog> or <Ordbogeera>) of the given word. The first 'syllable' in Ordbo=gee=raq acquires the 'weight' 9 because it is too complex to be Greenlandic.

We have better luck with the word "ordbogeeraq"; give it through [analysis -] and obtain:

ordbogeeraq, ordbo=gee=raq (9 4 3)

OseP: (i158;62 2) >ordbogeeraq O (navnet på en grønlandsk-grønlandsk ordbog) [jvf. =P] *

The word is in O and I have added it in P. The programme has also found a few analyses:

Here the Greenlandic noun stem ordbogi4 has been expanded with .q4 , and stem final q disappears before the initial vowel of .Araq (-> -eraq in this case). .q4 may be used to indicate singular or countability: ordbogeq4 'a dictionary'.

(With "11" and "13" you obtain some less probable analyses.)

If you give the word through the push-button [-+], Danish morphemes are also taken into consideration:

"1" now gives this analysis involving a Danish stem:

The affix .i4 has changed the Danish ordbog0 'dictionary' into a Greenlandic noun stem ordbogi4 with the same meaning. (The affix is shown with the inflexion .#mut (e,nut).) The rest is as above ("0"). The analysis doesn't distinguish between Danish noun stems and other stems; all acquire the class digit 0 like words.

"3" gives the same analysis with an extra "/" after e: ordbog/e//eraq/. An extra zero morph is needed because Danish -e in proper names may be conserved as such: Ole//kasik/ (e,n) [nvn] 'bad/dear Ole'.

With "5" you get:

In this analysis the Danish ordbog0 'dictionary' is composed of Danish ord0 'word' and Danish bog0 'book' with a connector ("forbinder") .¤9 ; it is a so-called compound.

The " +" after "bog" here indicates that there are several entries for it in Bdg:

Danish "bog" means 'book' or the fruit(s) of a beech.

The word tar=tu=pa=luk (3 2 2 3) has stress on the heavier (i.e. first and last) syllables. "rt" denotes a long t with uvularisation of the preceding vowel; the mouth is more open, and the bulk of the tongue is retracted towards the uvula. Greenlandic vowels are pronounced with uvularisation when the next letter in the same word is q or r; the vowels i,u are written with the letters e,o when in this position.

The word "tartu" means 'kidney'. But there is no recognition of -pa-, so the proposed analysis of the final -luk is probably wrong.

But -paluk is in OseP. Give "paluk" through [right part /] and obtain:

<føjes til navnestamme E is added to a noun stem> OseP: (i151,16 1) (4) {-V/-p/} /paluk : .paluk 'kær/rar ..'

"/paluk" after a vowel (-V/) may be the affix .paluk . Double click on it gives:

<føjes til navnestamme E is added to a noun stem> OseP: (i151;15 1) (4) {PE 477:6 .vaLug(-)} >.paluk A kær/rar .. E dear, nice (KY and NG) |

With ".paluk" through [+] you obtain:

<føjes til navnestamme E is added to a noun stem> OseP: (i151,15) (4) {PE 477:6 .vaLug(-)} >.paluk A kær/rar .. E dear, nice (KY and NG) | :Kunuuppaluk S den kære Knud E the dear Knud | :Suffiapaluk S den rare Sofie E the nice Sophia | :palasipaluk S den rare præst E the good minister | ,Siorapaluk

This affix is used in Thule (Kap York) and in North Greenland only. It is mentioned in Schultz-Lorentzen's dictionary (se) and in CED.
