This Emacs package helps with composing text in the Latin language by displaying information from the built-in database of the excellent latin-macronizer by Johan Winge.
Looking up information about the word ’arās’, for example, yields the following in the echo area:
ărās: verb, 2nd person singular present indicative active (aro)
ārās: noun, plural feminine accusative (ara)
Bold words are considered exact matches, but near matches with different vowel lengths are also shown.
First execute the package-install-file command and
point it to a local copy of grammaticus.el from this repository,
then grammaticus-add-words and
point it to a copy of macrons.txt, which you can download at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alatius/latin-macronizer/master/macrons.txt.
There are two ways to use this package:
Either explicitly look up words with grammaticus-lookup,
or simply activate grammaticus-mode,
which automatically looks up the word at point.
This mode also provides a key binding
(C-. by default)
for grammaticus-correct,
to cycle through the suggestions for the word at or before point.
Note that if you want to
explicitly look up words at point by pressing a key,
you have to wrap grammaticus-lookup like this:
(bind-key [f9] (lambda () (interactive) (grammaticus-lookup)))You can customize grammaticus-use-J and grammaticus-use-V
if you prefer, say, ’adiuuat’ over ’adjuvat’.
