Data Format
-----------
The data that serves [wilhelmlang.com](https://wilhelmlang.com/). They are written in YAML format, because
1. it is machine-readable so that it can be consumed quickly in data pipelines
2. it is human-readable and, thus, easy to read and modify
3. it supports multi-lines value which is very handy for language data
### Encoding Table in YAML
To encode the inflections which are common in most Indo-European languages, an
[application-specific YAML](https://stackoverflow.com/q/30894438/14312712) that looks like the following are employed
throughout this repository:
```yaml
- term: der Kaufmann
definition: (male) trader
declension:
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural, plural ]
- ["", indef., def., noun, def., noun ]
- [nominative, ein, der, Kaufmann, die, "Kaufmรคnner, Kaufleute" ]
- [genitive, eines, des, "Kaufmannes, Kaufmanns", der, "Kaufmรคnner, Kaufleute" ]
- [dative, einem, dem, Kaufmann, den, "Kaufmรคnnern, Kaufleuten"]
- [accusative, einen, den, Kaufmann, die, "Kaufmรคnner, Kaufleute" ]
```
> [!NOTE]
>
> - A list under `declension` is a table row
> - All rows have the same number of columns
> - Each element of the list corresponds to a table cell
The declension (inflection) table above is equivalent to
<table><thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th colspan="3">singular</th>
<th colspan="2">plural</th>
</tr></thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>indef.</td>

How Data (Vocabulary) is Stored in a Graph Database
---------------------------------------------------
### Why Graph Database
Graph data representation assumes universal connectivity among world entities. This applies pretty well to the realm of
languages. Multilanguage learners have already seen that Indo-European languages are similar in many aspects. The
similarities not only signify the historical facts about Philology but also surface a great opportunity for
multilanguage learners to take advantages of them and study much more efficiently. What's missing is connecting the dots
using Graph Databases that visually presents these vastly enlightening links between the related languages in a natural
way.
### Base Schema
```yaml
vocabulary:
- term: string
definition: list
```
_The meaning of a word is called the `definition`_. A term has a natural relationship to its definition(s). For example,
the German noun "[Ecke](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ecke#Noun)" has at least 4 definitions:
![Relationship between term and defintion(s)](./definition.png "Error loading definition.png")
<div align="center">
Graph data generated by <a href="https://github.com/QubitPi/wilhelm-python-sdk">wilhelm-python-sdk</a>
</div>
> [!TIP]
>
> The parenthesized value at the beginning of each `definition` item played an un-ignorable role: it is the label of the
> relationship between `term` and `definition` in graph database loaded by
> [Wilhelm SDK](https://github.com/QubitPi/wilhelm-python-sdk). For example, both German words
>
> ```yaml
> - term: denn
> definition:
> - (adv.) then, thus
> - (conj.) because
> ```
>
> and
>
> ```yaml
> - term: nรคmlich
> definition:
> - (adj.) same
> - (adv.) namely
> - (adv.) because
> ```
>
> can mean "because" acting as different types. This is visualized as follows:

> __Visualzing synonyms this way presents a big advantage to human brain__ who is exceedingly good at memorizing
> patterns
### Inflections
Indo-European languages are mostly inflected. The way inflections are encoded are documented for each language
separately:
- [German declension](#german-declension)
- [German conjugation](#german-conjugation)
- [Ancient Greek declension](#greek-declension)
- [Ancient Greek conjugation](#greek-conjugation)
### Basic Graph Query
- Search for a vocabulary with all its links:
```text
MATCH (term:Term)-[r]-(x) WHERE term.name = "der Amerikaner" RETURN term, r, x;
```
Languages
---------
### [German](./german.yaml)
#### Noun Declension
__Declension__ is the inflection for nouns and adjectives.
> [!TIP]
>
> __The declension tables for all nouns are sourced from
> [Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Kaufmann#Declension)__
##### Declension Templates
###### Masculine
`term` with a _definite article_ of __der__ signifies a __masculine noun__ which has a declension table template of the
following form:
```yaml
declension:
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural, plural]
- ["", indef., def., noun, def., noun ]
- [nominative, ein, der, โโโโโโโโ, die, โโโโโโ]
- [genitive, eines, des, โโโโโโโโ, der, โโโโโโ]
- [dative, einem, dem, โโโโโโโโ, den, โโโโโโ]
- [accusative, einen, den, โโโโโโโโ, die, โโโโโโ]
```
For example:
```yaml
- term: der Gegenstand
definition:
- object
- thing
declension:
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural, plural ]
- ["", indef., def., noun, def., noun ]
- [nominative, ein, der, Gegenstand, die, Gegenstรคnde ]
- [genitive, eines, des, "Gegenstandes, Gegenstands", der, Gegenstรคnde ]
- [dative, einem, dem, Gegenstand, den, Gegenstรคnden]
- [accusative, einen, den, Gegenstand, die, Gegenstรคnde ]
```
> [!CAUTION]
>
> [Adjectival nouns](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/German/Grammar/Nouns/Adjectival_Nouns), however, do NOT follow the
> template above. Instead, it uses [adjective declension table template](#attributive-adjective-declension)
>
> The definition of the adjectival nouns begins with "__(Adjectival nouns)__"`. For example:
>
> ```yaml
> - term: der Kranker
> definition: (Adjectival nouns) the sick person
> declension:
> strong declension (without article):
> - ["", singular, singular, singular, plural ]
> - ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, "" ]
> - [nominative, Kranker, N/A, N/A, Kranke ]
> - [genitive, Kranken, N/A, N/A, Kranker]
> - [dative, Krankem, N/A, N/A, Kranken]
> - [accusative, Kranken, N/A, N/A, Kranke ]
> weak declension (with definite article):
> - ["", singular, singular, singular, plural ]
> - ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, "" ]
> - [nominative, der Kranke, N/A, N/A, die Kranken]
> - [genitive, des Kranken, N/A, N/A, der Kranken]
> - [dative, dem Kranken, N/A, N/A, den Kranken]
> - [accusative, den Kranken, N/A, N/A, die Kranken]
> mixed declension (with indefinite article):
> - ["", singular, singular, singular, plural ]
> - ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, "" ]
> - [nominative, ein Kranker, N/A, N/A, (keine) Kranken]
> - [genitive, eines Kranken, N/A, N/A, (keiner) Kranken]
> - [dative, einem Kranken, N/A, N/A, (keinen) Kranken]
> - [accusative, einen Kranken, N/A, N/A, (keine) Kranken]
> ```
>
> Note that since "Kranker" is masculine, all feminine and neuter declensions are undefined and, thus, are marked with
> "N/A".
###### Feminine
`term` with a _definite article_ of __die__ signifies a __feminine noun__ which has a declension table template of the
following form:
```yaml
declension:
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural, plural]
- ["", indef., def., noun, def., noun ]
- [nominative, eine, die, โโโโโโโโ, die, โโโโโโ]
- [genitive, einer, der, โโโโโโโโ, der, โโโโโโ]
- [dative, einer, der, โโโโโโโโ, den, โโโโโโ]
- [accusative, eine, die, โโโโโโโโ, die, โโโโโโ]
```
###### Neuter
`term` with a _definite article_ of __das__ signifies a __neuter noun__ which has a declension table template of the
following form:
```yaml
declension:
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural, plural]
- ["", indef., def., noun, def., noun ]
- [nominative, ein, das, โโโโโโโโ, die, โโโโโโ]
- [genitive, eines, des, โโโโโโโโ, der, โโโโโโ]
- [dative, einem, dem, โโโโโโโโ, den, โโโโโโ]
- [accusative, ein, das, โโโโโโโโ, die, โโโโโโ]
```
#### (Attributive) Adjective Declension
> [!TIP]
>
> - Predicate adjectives (e.g. kalt in mir ist kalt "I am _cold_") are undeclined
> - An adjective can both be predicative (a _brave_ boy) or attributive (The boy is _brave_). Only attributive
> adjectives are declined.
There are 3 types of declensions for German adjectives
1. [strong declension](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_declension#Strong_inflection),
2. [week declension](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_declension#Weak_inflection), and
3. [mixed declension](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_declension#Mixed_inflection)
Each type bears a separate declension table. __To master German adjectives, we will need to memorize all of the three__.
There is also [adjective comparison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_adjectives#Adjective_comparison) which throws
in potentially 6 more tables. But the
[rules for comparative and superlative forms are quite universal](https://www.reddit.com/r/German/comments/i5mfrq/how_do_you_remember_adjective_declension/)
so we __ignore the two and focus only on the positive form__, which is the basic form of the adjective.
The [template](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/generate-custom-code-constructs-using-live-templates.html) of the
adjective is as follows:
```yaml
declension:
strong declension (without article):
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural]
- ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, "" ]
- [nominative, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
- [genitive, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
- [dative, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
- [accusative, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
weak declension (with definite article):
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural]
- ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, "" ]
- [nominative, der โโโโโ, die โโโโ, das โโโ, die โโ]
- [genitive, des โโโโโ, der โโโโ, des โโโ, der โโ]
- [dative, dem โโโโโ, der โโโโ, dem โโโ, den โโ]
- [accusative, den โโโโโ, die โโโโ, das โโโ, die โโ]
mixed declension (with indefinite article):
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural ]
- ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, "" ]
- [nominative, ein โโโโโ, eine โโโ, ein โโโ, (keine) โโโโโ]
- [genitive, eines โโโ, einer โโ, eines โ, (keiner) โโโโโ]
- [dative, einem โโโ, einer โโ, einem โ, (keinen) โโโโโ]
- [accusative, einen โโโ, eine โโโ, ein โโโ, (keine) โโโโโ]
```
Here is an example of the adjective declension for
"[unterschiedlich](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unterschiedlich#Declension)":
```yaml
- term: unterschiedlich
definition: (adj.) different
declension:
strong declension (without article):
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural ]
- ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, "" ]
- [nominative, unterschiedlicher, unterschiedliche, unterschiedliches, unterschiedliche ]
- [genitive, unterschiedlichen, unterschiedlicher, unterschiedlichen, unterschiedlicher]
- [dative, unterschiedlichem, unterschiedlicher, unterschiedlichem, unterschiedlichen]
- [accusative, unterschiedlichen, unterschiedliche, unterschiedliches, unterschiedliche ]
weak declension (with definite article):
- ["", singular, singular, singular, plural ]
- ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, "" ]
- [nominative, der unterschiedliche, die unterschiedliche, das unterschiedliche, die unterschiedlichen]

#### Verb Conjugation
The conjugation is the inflection paradigm for a German verb. Those with `conjugation` field denotes a __verb__; its
definition also begins with an _indefinite form_, i.e. "to ..."
There are __3__ persons, __2__ numbers, and __4__ moods (indicative, conditional, imperative and subjunctive) to
consider in conjugation. There are __6__ tenses in German: the present and past are conjugated, and there are four
compound tenses. There are two categories of verbs in German:
[weak and strong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_strong_verb)[^1]. In addition,
[strong verbs are grouped into 7 "classes"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_strong_verb#Strong_verb_classes)
[^1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_verbs#Conjugation
The conjugation table of German verb on Wiktionary is hard to interpret for German beginner. It does, however, presents
a very good Philology reference. For example, it tells us which of the 7 "classes" a strong verb belongs to. __We,
therefore, leave the Wiktionary links to the conjugation table of that verb for data processing in the future__, for
example,
```yaml
- term: aufwachsen
definition: to grow up
conjugation: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aufwachsen#Conjugation
```
and advise user to employ a much more practical method to learn daily conjugation as follows. We take "__aufwachsen__"
as an example.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> I'm not advertising for any organizations. I'm simply sharing good resources.
[Netzverb Dictionary](https://www.verbformen.com/) is the best German dictionary _targeting the vocabulary inflections_.
[Search for "aufwachsen"](https://www.verbformen.com/?w=aufwachsen) and we will see much more intuitive conjugation
tables listed.
This pretty much serves our needs, but what makes Netzverb unpenetrable by other alternatives is that _every_ verb comes
with
1. [A printable version that looks much better than the browser's Control+P export](https://www.verbformen.com/conjugation/aufwachsen.pdf)
- There is also a "Sentences with German verb aufwachsen" section with a
[link](https://www.verbformen.com/conjugation/examples/aufwachsen.htm) that offer a fruitful number of conjugated
examples getting us familiar with the inflections of the verb
2. [An on-the-fly generated flashcard sheet](https://www.verbformen.com/conjugation/worksheets-exercises/lernkarten/aufwachsen.pdf)
which allows us to make a better usage of our random free time
3. [A YouTube video that offers audios of almost every conjugated form](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCtUrSn030A),
which helps with pronunciations a lot
> [!TIP]
>
> - __It is, thus, strongly recommended to study the conjugation through
> [Netzverb Dictionary](https://www.verbformen.com/) separately__
> - Netzverb Dictionary, however, lacks a programmable API. Wiktionary [has a good one](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/)
> instead. This is why we left the conjugation link to Wiktionary for now and it will definitely serve us well as I'm

### [Ancient Greek](./greek.yaml)
> [!TIP]
>
> [Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B1%E1%BD%90%CF%84%CF%8C%CF%82#Pronunciation) and
> [Logos Bible Study Platform](https://www.youtube.com/@logosbiblesoftware/search?query=Greek) are the best sources as
> pronunciation guides. Due to the scarcity of the audio resources among AG lerners, [a separate project](https://github.com/QubitPi/ancient-greek-reader) has been
> initiated to expand the audio practice materials by AI
[Ancient Greek is still an under-attesting language](https://latin.stackexchange.com/a/17432), what that means is no
textbook is "complete". One will frequently see a certain grammar does not apply to or some inflections are missing for
a word. Therefore, the best strategy to make inflection data of Ancient Greek is to crawl the entire inflection table of
every word. This would be impractical manually but practical automatically using
[wilhelm-python-sdk](https://github.com/QubitPi/wilhelm-python-sdk). The sections below will make references to the
certain parts of SDK.
#### Diacritic Mark Convention
We employ the following 3 diacritic signs only in vocabulary:
1. the __acute__ (ฮฌ)
2. the __circumflex__ (แพถ), and
3. the __grave__ (แฝฐ)
In fact, it is called the [_medium diacritics_](https://lsj.gr/wiki/%E1%BC%80%CE%B3%CE%B1%CE%B8%CF%8C%CF%82) and the
same convention used in [Loeb Classical Library prints](https://ryanfb.xyz/loebolus/) from Harvard. Notice that,
however, the commonly sourced [Wiktionary uses full diacritics](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%80%CE%B3%CE%B1%CE%B8%CF%8C%CF%82#Declension),
including the [breve diacritic mark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breve); we don't do that.
#### Noun Declension
The vocabulary entry for each noun consists of its nominative and genitive forms, an article which indicates the noun's
gender, and the English meaning. For example.
```yaml
- term: ฯฮญฯฮฝฮท ฯฮญฯฮฝฮทฯ, แผก
definition:
- art,
- skill,
- craft
```
the vocabulary entry above consists of the following 4 items:
1. ฯฮญฯฮฝฮท: nominative singular
2. ฯฮญฯฮฝฮทฯ: genitive singular
3. แผก: nominative feminine singular of the article, which shows that the gender of the noun is feminine
4. a list of English meanings of the word
The declension of the entry is not shown because to decline any noun, we can take the genitive singular, remove the
genitive singular ending to get the stem, and then add the proper set of endings to the stem based on its declension
class[^2].
[^2]: _[Greek: An Intensive Course, 2nd Revised Edition](https://www.amazon.com/Greek-Intensive-Course-2nd-Revised/dp/0823216632)_, Hansen & Quinn, _p.20_
For example, to decline _ฯฮญฯฮฝฮท ฯฮญฯฮฝฮทฯ, แผก, art_, take the genitive singular _ฯฮญฯฮฝฮทฯ_, remove the genitive singular ending
_-ฮทฯ_, and add the appropriate endings to the stem which gives following paradigm:
| Case | Singular | Plural |
|:----------:|:--------:|:-------:|
| nominative | ฯฮญฯฮฝฮท | ฯฮญฯฮฝฮฑฮน |
| genitive | ฯฮญฯฮฝฮทฯ | ฯฮตฯฮฝแฟถฮฝ |
| dative | ฯฮญฯฮฝแฟ | ฯฮญฯฮฝฮฑฮนฯ |
| accusative | ฯฮญฯฮฝฮทฮฝ | ฯฮญฯฮฝแพฑฯ |
| vocative | ฯฮญฯฮฝฮท | ฯฮญฯฮฝฮฑฮน |
#### Adjective Declension
Declension template:
```yaml
declension:
- ["", singular, singular, singular, dual, dual, dual plural, plural, plural]
- ["", masculine, feminine, neuter, masculine, feminine, neuter, masculine, feminine, neuter]
- [nominative, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
- [genitive, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
- [dative, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
- [accusative, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
- [vocative, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโโโ, โโโโโโ]
```
#### Verb Conjugation
The Greek verb has __6__ principal parts. All 6 must be learned whenever a new verb is encountered:
1. (first person singular) present indicative active
2. (first person singular) future indicative active
3. (first person singular) aorist indicative active
4. (first person singular) perfect indicative active
5. (first person singular) perfect indicative passive
6. (first person singular) aorist indicative passive
> [!TIP]
>
> The minimum number of forms which one must know in order to generate all possible forms of a verb are called the
> __principal parts__ of that verb.
From the 6 forms above, various verb forms (i.e. stems & endings) can be derived by rules[^4]
[^4]: _[Greek: An Intensive Course, 2nd Revised Edition](https://www.amazon.com/Greek-Intensive-Course-2nd-Revised/dp/0823216632)_, Hansen & Quinn, _p.44_
In practice, however,
[obtaining precise and complete principal parts for some verbs has been proven to be impossible](https://latin.stackexchange.com/a/17432).
While the best efforts have been made for reconstructing the complete principal parts, we also put a link to the
Wiktionary of each verb for
[wilhelm-python-sdk](https://sdk.wilhelmlang.com/en/latest/#module-wilhelm_python_sdk.ancient_greek_wiktionary_parser),
which will dynamically load the complete conjugation tables into graph database.
What's also being loaded are the reconstructed principal parts with a list of references that validate the
reconstruction.
In conclusion, the entry of a verb, thus, has the form of:
```yaml
- term: string
definition: list
conjugation:
wiktionary: string
principal parts:
- ["", Attic, (Possibly other dialects)]
- [(first person singular) present indicative active, โโโโโ, ... ]
- [(first person singular) future indicative active, โโโโโ, ... ]
- [(first person singular) aorist indicative active, โโโโโ, ... ]
- [(first person singular) perfect indicative active, โโโโโ, ... ]
- [(first person singular) perfect indicative passive, โโโโโ, ... ]
- [(first person singular) aorist indicative passive, โโโโโ, ... ]
references: list
```
For example:
```yaml
- term: ฮปฮญฮณฯ
definition:
- to say, speak
- to pick up
conjugation:
wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ฮปฮญฮณฯ#Verb_2

- [(first person singular) perfect indicative active, (missing), ฮตแผดฯฮทฮบฮฑ ]
- [(first person singular) perfect indicative passive, ฮปฮญฮปฮตฮณฮผฮฑฮน , ฮปฮญฮปฮตฮณฮผฮฑฮน ]
- [(first person singular) aorist indicative passive, แผฮปฮญฯฮธฮทฮฝ , แผฯฯฮญฮธฮทฮฝ/แผฯฯฮฎฮธฮทฮฝ]
