Removed comment[edit]

The following was in the article, from User:Ayindolmah:

My name is Aka-ebila, the youngest son of Awalbire. Awalbire is the youngest son of Aka-eri. Aka-eri is the youngest son of Adeebo. Adeebo is the youngest son of Atina'ana (II), Atina'ana(II) is the youngest son of Ayiah. Ayiah is the youngest son of Atina'ana(I). Atina'ana (I) is the youngest son of Asam'soo. Asam'soo is the founder of Bolbatanga (Pyramid of the traveler), which has long been misunderstood and written as Bolgatanga.

Our ancestors are Tin'naama; an ancient priesthood, which founded Tin'no'ogo (Ancient Egypt) and the religion of Tin'no'ono (Unification of Kingdoms). Our ancestors welcomed people as Fara, farafara and Faraoh(welcome everyone). From the greetings of our ancestors - Faraoh and Farafara, the words Pharoah and Frafra were coined by foreign scholars, who could not speak the language of the Tin'naama.

I wish to thank the original author(s) of this piece for a job well done. Please, correct my spellings with the right Gurune vowels as needed.

As it was removed from the article, I will reproduce it here. jp×g 06:25, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Glossing[edit]

In the section of question formation there are glosses involving complementizers. These are glossed by the abbreviation COMP, but however wikipedia's syntax does not recognize this abbreviation as complementizer, but instead as comparative. I tried several ways how to prevent the syntax from incorrectly glossing it as comparative, but none of the options works. Can anybody help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjeckel (talk • contribs) 15:34, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I used now SUBR for subordinator, but nevertheless would like to know how to circumvent that the syntax incorrectly interprets glossing abbreviations. Mjeckel (talk) 15:50, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gurene language → Farefare language – My understanding is that "Farefare" is the most general name for this language in English. It's used by ISO 639/Ethnologue as the English name, and if I understand "Equisse grammaticale du ninkãrɛ au Burkina Faso" (page 7), "Gurene" is preferred in Ghana, and variations of Frafra are more general.

Move. Mover never bothered to fix up the article to match. Even less effort at the ethno article, which I just moved back.

We say that Gurenne is one of three dialects of Frafra. Funny then to call the article Gurenne. — kwami (talk) 16:38, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
