Any idea how to make a list of verbs which include "ñ", not conjugated on the site?
This question is directed at specialists who might know a system or way to make this list without looking for the verbs one by one.
I found a list with words ...but if there is a possibility to make a list only with verbs, we would sure appreciate this.
The nouns ending in ar and er have been corrected. If you find more , please let us know.

I just got off the phone with Chris and at this moment, we don't have the man power to do any serious programming and/or parsing. Every summer we hire interns to do a lot of programming work, so hopefully we will have a coding fix then.
For now, I am going to be putting in the conjugations of the most popular ñ verbs. I've included a list of all the ñ verbs I could find and it would be very helpful if you could help me figure out which ones to work on first. I'm only allowed to spend 4 hours total filling in conjugations, so we need to make the words worth it. (Ugh, it feels terrible to determine which verbs are "worth more" than others)

I think these are the most common, most of the others I would have had to look them up:

I think one would have to have access to your data bases to do something like that. You probably have a list of words somewhere. You could parse the list for endings -ar, -er and -ir. These are probably verbs. Then parse this list for words with ñ in them. Do the same thing with the words in your conjugation section (skip parsing for word endings). Parse this group for words with ñ in them. Compare the two results. This could be done with a relatively simple program written in REXX (IBM), or java (Sun).
I checked the verbs from Paralee's list one by one, so maybe you will work now on selected material; I suggest starting from fixing the verbs that are already in SpanishDict.
Verbs on Paralee's list that are also in the back of "the Big Red Book of Spanish Verbs" (A list of 2300 + verbs that are supposeldy the most common)
- acuñar
- aliñar
- bañar
- dañar
- desaliñar
- desdeñar
- desengañar
- desgreñar
- diseñar
- empañar
- emponzoñar
- empuñar
- enseñar
- escudriñar
- extrañar
- refunfuñar
- regañar
- reseñar
- soñar
- bruñir
- ceñir
- gruñir
- plañir
- reñir
- teñir
And one that I saw in the book that wasn't on your list
- guiñar
I hope this helps in some way.
Not an expert by any means, but a compare query in a database would work. Query the SpanishDict database (which has unconjugated verbs) against another larger database (similar to the one you posted). In the query you create, you would use the fields from [verb table] where the [preterit] field is blank or null to filter out or identify unconjugated verbs. This would list all of your unconjugated verbs.
Then, you could populate using the same method. Run an update query, populating the null fields from above with the correct conjugations. This would work for any that are not irregular conjugations, spelling changes, etc. For the irregulars, manual update is the answer, unless you have source data that already has the conjugations. If you do have that, then just update the SpanishDict population with the data from the source.
It is only 2,266 words on the list you posted in the link. You could handle that in Access.
Have I confused you?
Hello Paralee,
Not too many of your selected words are recognized by the dictionary when one double click on it. Interesting, wonder what does that mean...
Sorry, I have no useful contribution.
And it'd be a good idea if the admines of our site gave us a command or created such a possibility - of partial searching, e.g. words ending with -ñar or having -lla- inside.
I'll ask my husband when he's back. He knows lots about computers, so maybe he'll be able to help. Well, I've seen that Izanoni helped a lot with other conjugation mistakes - let's wait for him.
