TONARI

[ChrisPerrette]

I believe tonari is a borrowed Japanese word meaning something like neighbor, neighborhood, or neighboring.

Example from an Chedaol Biblia:
“Me tirike el tonari er ngii me a remilsa er a dirk lekosiki, a dilu el kmo…” (Johanes 9:8)
“And his neighbors and they who had seen him when he was still a beggar said…” (John 9:8)

The more commonly used Chedaol Biblia uses a more wordy phrase:
“Me itia e tirka el ble lekaiuekeed a blirir me a rechad el milsang er a ngar a mong el di olengetngit a ngera er a rechad a uleker el kmo…” (Johanes 9:8)
“Therefore those whose houses were near to his and they who had seen him in the past continually begging things from people asked…” (John 9:8)

Sometimes the word neighbor is translated as a ngar er a bita er ngii.

Is this something that could be a candidate for addition?

Looks good to me. https://japanesetest4you.com/flashcard/learn-jlpt-n5-vocabulary-%E9%9A%A3-tonari/ confirms that tonari can mean neighbor. When it is ready for the auto parsing, it will be something like:
[magic word]
w -o J -b tonari n. neighbor.

Souang, Lukes, Ulang: can any of you confirm that tonari is word Palauans use (or used to)?

Chris, kaiuekeed is in already as is 'le'. We do not have 'le-' as a prefix but maybe that's OK.

Yes, confirmed. tonari-neighbor.

Josephs lists le- and l- as reduced variants of lo- or lu-. Most Palauans just spell it separately, though, it seems. Josephs gives, for example, "A ngelekek a dirkak lebo lungil el smecher." Another from Josephs says, "A babier el lebla lebo lemerek er ngii a Toki a kmal ungil." Maybe these variants could be added as prefixes.

My wife says she has heard of tonari but does not know its meaning. Also tekinged.com already has tonari in the example texts.

AUTOPARSE
w -o J -b tonari tonari n. neighbor.

Thanks @ChrisPerrette ! When we know the origin word (in this case the same exact word tonari), we can add that also with a -b flag. So I edited your comment just a bit to add that.

Also, still need to add the label. One sec. Let me make instructions for that.

Chris, please check out the instructions here and let me know if they work for you:
