General guidelines

Senses

Senses represent different meanings of a word. For example, the lexeme Ɔyarehwɛfo (L686641) has the meaning "nurse". This should be added as a sense on the lexeme; in the case of L686641, it exists as L686641-S1. Other meanings of a word may be added as separate senses on that word's lexeme.

Once the senses have been created, further information about that meaning may be added to those senses:

item for this sense (P5137): if a particular sense has a corresponding concept as a Wikidata item, this item may be linked with this property. L686641-S1, for example, is linked to nurse (Q186360) in this manner.
image (P18): if you want to illustrate the sense, you can add an image with this property. L686641-S1, for example, is linked to this image of Italian Red Cross nurses in this manner.

Forms

Forms represent different ways in which a lexeme can change depending on where it is used. For example, the lexeme Ɔyarehwɛfo (L686641) has the singular "Ɔyarehwɛfo" (when referring to a single nurse) and the plural "Ayarehwɛfoɔ" (when referring to multiple nurses). These should be added as separate forms on the lexeme; in the case of L686641, they exist as L686641-F1 and L686641-F2.
