Bendict:Lemmas

When a word has multiple distinct forms, the lemma is the main entry at which the definitions, etymology, inflections and such are placed. All other forms of the word are non-lemma forms, and the entries for these forms generally only contain a link to the lemma form. For example, ker is the lemma of a Bengenese verb (the “infinitive” form), while keru is a non-lemma form. Lemmas and non-lemma forms are categorised differently: Category:Lemmas for lemma forms and Category:Non-lemma forms for non-lemma forms.
