Apr 2	comment	Use arbitrary amount of underlines + descriptions using TikZ on parts of words @percusse, I see what you mean. Is there any chance there could be a tag like "language-translation", something unique, which could be used to link questions regarding this topic? There are a number of questions ranging from columns to linguistics, which deal with translation but are as of now unlinked with a common tag.
Apr 2	comment	Use arbitrary amount of underlines + descriptions using TikZ on parts of words The additions do not really change much. The following: "Using the other question and the following sketch as starting point, I hope that some clever mind will come up with a flexible solution." was there all along (as were 5 of 7 criteria) and the other question uses letters as references for braces.
Apr 2	revised	Use arbitrary amount of underlines + descriptions using TikZ on parts of words added explanation of "flexible"
Apr 2	comment	Use arbitrary amount of underlines + descriptions using TikZ on parts of words This solution is not integrated with the other question's code, nor is flexible (see starting point above). I should have defined flexible better. I will add to question. As it stands, your approach is arduous when dealing with an entire paragraph of words because you do not use letters as nodes, rather you have to calculate the distance each time. I will leave this unanswered for the time being. Nevertheless, great start.

Apr 2	asked	Use arbitrary amount of underlines + descriptions using TikZ on parts of words
Apr 2	comment	How can I underline multiple parts of the same word using braces with TikZ? I've marked your answer correct as a minimum answer. Maybe you or someone else will choose to elaborate a bit. In the meantime, I am going to open a new question with a few more specifics. Really useful tip, thanks!
Apr 2	accepted	How can I underline multiple parts of the same word using braces with TikZ?
Apr 2	comment	How can I underline multiple parts of the same word using braces with TikZ? great! I would like to get my criteria met, however! See description above. It is pointless to underline taiva and issa if I can't control the distance of the descriptions from the braces (to avoid overlap).
