<P>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>

<TD 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>Hanjabam
