Foreign:
This feature takes the following values: Yes.
Yes: Foreign language
This tag is used for quotes of text in a foreign language, especially Avestan.
The foreign word is not a loan word or a foreign name but a genuinely foreign word appearing inside native text.
For example, in meta-ritual and exegetical discussions, Avestan words are often mentioned as a means of referring to a specific Avestan passage. These are defined as foreign words, with the PoS tag indicating the morphosyntactic function of the word within the Middle Persian text.
Example
- pad harw xsaoϑra ēsm ud bōy tāg=ē ō ātaxš dahišn “At each (pronunciaton of the word) xsaoϑra, he should put one twig of ritual fire wood and incense onto the fire.”
