Talk:False Friends of the Slavist/Map pravo

How to put two words in one language into these chart?
Hallo people, I have a little problem about the sorabian words. There are two forms: upper sorabian naprawo "right, to the right" (Esperanto [E-o]: dekstra, dekstren), lower sorabian napšawo / upper sorabian prawo "right" (E-o: rajto), lower sorabian pšawo. Is there a possibility to put both forms into the chart? --Tlustulimu 17:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Dear Tlustimu, first of all thanks for all your work on the maps. No, I think unfortunately there is no way to put two forms into the maps. This is no problem with the mono- and bilingual pages, but as the maps only show the meaning side for a fix form, this is impossible. But the noun *pravo exists in virtually all the Slavonic languages with similar meanings, and what is meant here is really the adverb (in this case the ‘dekstra, dekstren’ one, which is a cause for severe misunderstands because of the meaning ‘straight on’ it has in South Slavic languages). --Daniel Bunčić 20:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

pravo as noun, adverb, adjective
The way this map was now after the last change it was very misleading, since the meaning '(a) right' is present in almost all Slavonic languages but was shown as a specialty of some West and South Slavic languages. What this map was to show originally was the problem of different meanings of the adverb *pravo (especially when explaining the way to some foreigner from a different Slavonic country), so I left only the two meanings 'rightwards' and 'straight on' in this map and moved the meanings of the noun *pravo to Map pravo (n.). I have not created a similar map for the adjective *pravъjь (where *pravo is only the [short] neuter form), as the meaning 'genuine', which was now noted only for the western South Slavic languages, seems to be present in all Slavonic languages, and I do not know whether there are other meanings of the adjective *pravъjь that might cause confusion. --Daniel Bunčić 19:33, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
