It seems quite appropriate to me to give the category as "verb". The citation form itself may be a deverbal noun, but you are using it as a way of giving the phonological information for a verb. It's just that, instead of citing a verb stem, which I gather is not a word in its own right, you are giving an actual word from which the stem can be inferred.<br>
<br>Indeed, dictionaries of Romance languages use the infinitive as the citation form, but the infinitive in these languages is arguably a verbal noun.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 12:04 AM, Surmangol Sharma <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:surmangol@yahoo.co.in" target="_blank">surmangol@yahoo.co.in</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p></p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font:inherit" valign="top">Dear All,<br><br>I work on Manipuri dictionary. The language is agglutinative and verbs are bound morphemes. Citation verbs are suffixed with -pa/ba 'Nominalizer'. Some other Manipuri Lexicographers while giving the grammatical category of the verbs use the term as verbal noun (vn). This might be due to the fact that deverbal nouns take the same form, for example:<br>
<br>(a) <span style="font-weight:bold">cá-bə</span><span style="font-style:italic"> vn </span>eat<br>(b) tombə <span style="font-weight:bold">cá-bə</span> pam-mi 'Tomba likes eating'<br><br>In this regard, my opinion is -- isn't it possible to give the grammatical category of (a) above as verb (v) rather than vn.<br>
<br>suggestions, comments are highly appreciated.<br><br>regards<br>surmangol<br><br>---------------------------------<br>
