Find the real Livonian word(s) whose pronunciation-romanization matches this clean-ASCII input — the inverse direction of `livonian_romanize`. Because romanize is lossy, this is a LOOKUP against the words already in the dictionary cache: attested spellings come back as source=dictionary. If none match, a single best-effort reconstruction is returned (source=reconstruction, approximate=true) — a guess, not attested. Coverage grows as words are cached, so an identical query may return a reconstruction now and a dictionary hit later.
Romanized (clean-ASCII) Livonian text to resolve back to real orthography. Returns the attested dictionary spelling(s) whose romanization matches (source=dictionary, exact) — several may match one ambiguous key. On a miss, a single best-effort reconstruction (source=reconstruction, approximate=true), which is a guess: romanize is lossy, so case, stød, palatalization and macron length cannot be recovered.

}Fetch the full declension (nouns) or conjugation (verbs) table for a word identified by a search result's inflection handle (entry_id + word_class) — the exact case, number, tense, not a guessed ending. Use this only when a search ran without inline forms, or to fetch a match a broad search left un-expanded. Never a first call — the handle values only come from livonian_search results, and a default search already returns each match's table inline, so calling this afterwards just re-fetches what you have. Returns Markdown — a nominal gets one case × {singular, plural} table; a verb gets a table per mood/tense (person × {affirmative, negative}, the negation auxiliary folded into the negative) plus its principal-parts and participle lists — or a clean not-found message. (Grammatical labels are normalised to English; Livonian forms stay verbatim.) The same table rides along as structuredContent with the shape {"result": <paradigm>} per the declared outputSchema — switch on result.category ('nominal' | 'verbal' | 'not_found') before reading the body. Results are cached server-side (repeats are instant) and calls are rate limited — on a rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry. Table content is from livonian.tech (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute if republished).
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| entry_id* | any | The word id from a search result's inflection handle. Accepts a number or a digit-string (e.g. 17746 or "17746"). |
| word_class* | string | The word-class code from a search result's inflection handle (e.g. 's' = noun, 'adj' = adjective, 'vi' = intransitive verb, 'vt' = transitive verb). |

}Strip Livonian orthography down to clean, pronounceable ASCII for an English-trained downstream (a voice/TTS, a search box). See the `text` parameter doc for the exact letter mappings. Returns Markdown plus the romanized output as structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema. Pure local transform: no dictionary lookup, no network, and the output is always ASCII.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| text* | string | Livonian text to reduce to clean, pronounceable ASCII. Strips macrons, diacritics and capitals (ā→aa, š→sh, õ→u), softens a palatalized consonant (ņ ļ ŗ ţ ḑ) only before a vowel (ņ+a→nya, else ikšiggiņ→ikshiggin), and hyphenates the broken tone (si'zzõl→siz-zul) and long-vowel diphthong glides (kīen→kee-en). Pass a word, phrase, or several lines. |

}Look a word up in the real Livonian–Estonian–Latvian dictionary and return only attested content, so translations are grounded, not invented. Search a meaning (in English/Latvian/Estonian) to find the Livonian headword, or a Livonian word to confirm it exists and read its sense, part of speech and examples. See the `query` and `search_language` parameter docs for how to phrase a query. By default each match's full inflection table is returned inline, so one call usually suffices; on a broad query only the first N tables expand (the rest are listed as handles to fetch with livonian_get_inflections). Returns Markdown plus the same result as structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema. Results are cached server-side, so repeating a query is instant and free; a first-time query reaches the live dictionary and calls are rate limited — on a rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry instead of re-issuing immediately. Dictionary content is from livonian.tech (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute if republished).
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| query* | string | A SINGLE content word, not a phrase. Exactly one word per call — even with several candidates or synonyms in mind, search them one at a time ('see', then 'look'), never combined into one query like 'see look'. Drop function words and infinitive markers — search 'to water' as 'water', 'the sea' as 'sea'. The dictionary matches one attested headword, so a multi-word query often returns nothing even when the word exists; search the main word first, then refine. May be Livonian, Latvian, Estonian, or English (e.g. 'jarā', 'away', 'sea'). Matching is bidirectional. An inflected Livonian form (search_language='liv') is resolved to its dictionary lemma automatically when the form is known — the result says so when that happened. |
| max_forms | any | Optional override for how many inflection tables to expand this call (0–12). Raise it to pull more tables in ONE call on a broad query, or set a small value to keep a broad query cheap. On an uncached query each table is fetched sequentially with polite pacing toward the upstream, so a high value on a cold broad query is slow — the bound limits upstream fan-out, not just response size. Omit to use the server's default cap. |
| include_forms | boolean | When true (default), each match's full inflection table is returned INLINE — usable cases/tenses in ONE call, no follow-up livonian_get_inflections. Set false to get just the headword handles + glosses: a cheap way to SCREEN several candidate words or synonyms (which exist? which sense?) before spending forms on the one you pick. Bounded by a per-search cap — use max_forms to raise or lower it for this call. |
| search_language | any | Language your query word is in — selects which language the search matches against: 'eng' (default), 'liv', 'lat', or 'est'. For English→Livonian translation, keep 'eng'. Glosses are in English. |
