The valency (the argument structure needed) by a
word, and if it forms a sentence or not, are the pieces of information needed to
work with the words in the dictionary.
In fact, you often advise explicitly that a word
is a verb and not an adjective.

The classifier or suffix
always indicates the part-of-speech. There is
no need to list it
separately. This dictionary is intended for people
who will be
working closely with the language. It is not intended for
casual
browsers.
Still, it wouldn't be too difficult to add it. Does
anyone else have an
opinion? Also, what abbreviations should I use
for them? Ladekwa has
parts-of-speech that natural languages do not
have.

I
think you mean "bovica" for the verb root. You also have to focus
it,
because activities are unfocused by default. Thus, you want to
use
"bovicanzi".
Bovicanzi lujazopumbomi vyukoy
jikay.
= "WINNERS hand-write the history".
However, I would
prefer:
Vicanzi lujazopumbomi vyukoy jikay.
= "WINNERS
write the history".
