Anyone else? For some reason this didn't create a notification for me, the other people you pinged might not have got one either. In general I find the current placeholders odd. Why do they repeat the label for the field? If you don't understand what is meant, repeating it doesn't help. I definitely prefer using a verb as the example, but maybe a verb more relevant to lexemes like "speak" or "write" would be nicer? :) "Base form" is far better than "Short form" (which sounds like abbreviation... and the lemma is not necessarily even the shortest form) but I wouldn't include the " (rather than 'swimming')" part. What //doesn't// belong in there seems like something better suited to documentation than the placeholder field. It would also make it harder for translators since many languages don't have a progressive form.
