Talk:ersätzer

Request for verification
Is it actually English? Can the lower-case form be cited? Equinox ◑ 12:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, it's not German; the proper plural for Ersatz would be Ersätze. But yeah, I don't see much sign of use in either language. -- Visviva 13:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * In the quotation, it is not used as a plural but the singular. There the -er is the common agent suffix. —Stephen 13:52, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't think that's true: "either reminders of her beloved grandmother or Ersätzer for her inadequate mother." The singular would seem to require an article in this case, and even then it would be rather awkward.
 * But even if this is an agent noun, what would be the verb from which it is formed? The verb behind Ersatz is ersetzen, so the agent noun would normally be Ersetzer, which is well-attested.  It's conceivable that there might be an alternative form that uses the a-umlaut (maybe in Swabian?), but I can't find much evidence of it.
 * Of course, all of this is moot if the word can be verified in one language or the other (or both). But having taken a look around, I have my doubts:  (248,1,0,0,0). -- Visviva 14:57, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, I guess the "ersätzer" are her cousins and teachers. For some reason, I had the impression that this was based in Yiddish. Anyway, I don’t think it’s Swabian. —Stephen 04:21, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * In philosophy, an ersatzer is one who subscribes to ersatzism, something to do with concepts of reality. But the plural of that is ersatzers (or ersatzists). —Stephen 04:48, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: Both "Adverb" senses. The closest I can find to adverbial usage appears to be an adjective following a copula. --EncycloPetey 22:39, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I've altered the definitions to try to match with the PoS and the quotes, rearranged and supplemented the quotes. I've also added a usage note for the adjective. It would not be too hard to analyze the "adverbial" use as predicate use of the adjective with verbs like "fall", "stand" (door, not person), "hang", and "yawn"; and "sit", "stare", "watch", and "look". With the first four we would seem to be able to substitute "open", which no dictionary I have yet seem would classify as an adverb. It's all because Milton needed a stress on the second syllable. He could have written "set them gaping." But no. DCDuring TALK 18:21, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

RFV passed. Thanks for the quotations, DCDuring. I'm actually not sure that they are necessarily adverb uses (the first sense's quotations could all use "open-mouthed" instead, and the second one's could all use "open" instead), but since I'm not sure that they aren't, either, I'm going to err on the side of keeping this. (It may be fodder for a tea room discussion, though.) —Ruakh TALK 00:52, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

IMO
I use agape with respect to God's love. If the Calvinist doctrine of total depravity, derived from the doctrine of TULIP, it stands to reason that humans may not be capable of full, true agape, but that only the Holy Spirit, through them, at best, can manifest agape. At any rate it is problematic but if there is verified usage thereof who am I to argue with inclusion of the sense.

I think there are human emulations of agape but I don't know that it would be correct to characterize that as true agape. But if some denominations teach that it is the case, then it belongs in the 'ictionaries, but best cited and defined as restricted to the denominations which believe it.
 * Scripture is full of mistranslations like this [and thus full of fake and forged distinctions and qualifiers]. Agapè means like, not love (eròs).  Likewise spiritus means breath or booze, not wit (vis, pneýma) nor wind (ventus, anemo, ruakh). Lysdexia (talk) 06:26, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

We have seven senses, one that I've just added, one that's at RFV and seems to be just plain wrong, and these: Not sure how these four are separate. Isn't air moist are slightly wet? What does suggestive of liquid mean? Not dry surely just means "slightly wet". Oh and finally
 * 1) Slightly wet.
 * 2)  damp or humid.
 * 3) Filled with, characterised, or suggestive of liquid or moisture.
 * 4) Not dry, not dried out
 * 1)  tearful.

Really? How. Google Books gets a lot of hits for, but most of them just seem to be for various reasons (rain, straining them, etc.) Mglovesfun (talk) 13:20, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Only 3 and 4 are not found in MWOnline. "Moist" could have about as many senses as "wet" (12 @ MWO) or "dry" (32 @ MWO) do or at least as many as are on a continuum defined by "wet" and "dry" as poles. For example, "wet" as in "wet paint" is distinguished from other senses of "wet" and "moist paint" has 300+ hits at bgc. Is that included in "slightly wet"? It actually seems closer to sense 4. "Moist", "wet", and "dry" all seem to have senses that are relative to what is "normal" or "typical" for the nouns which they modify. I could imagine two generic senses: "slightly wet" (sense 1); "not completely dry" (sense 4, modified); "tearful"; and some other senses where neither "wet" nor "dry" are normally poles of the same attribute.
 * On a hunch, I just looked "moist goods", by analogy to dry goods. More than 300 hits at bgc. That might be a set phrase in special contexts, but it suggests that "moist" probably shares many applications with "wet" and "dry" do. DCDuring TALK 17:06, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That seems relevant to the entry though not relevant to my questions. There might be, eventually, 30 definitions of moist, I'mnot challenging that. I'm just challenging the current ones. If some of these are distinct, the wording doesn't tell me how. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:28, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Au contraire. A definition is not independent of the other definitions for the PoS that appear in the entry. The issue is how to we achieve coverage of the range of usage. In this case, there are two approaches to covering the range of usage. One is to define "moist" in reference to "dry" and "wet" wherever possible. The other is to have a structure of definitions that parallels MWO's approach to "wet" and "dry". DCDuring TALK 19:14, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Not dry surely just means "slightly wet". --well, not exactly. Moist lips are lips that are not dried out, but they are not necessarlly slightly wet: they are suggestive of containing or being filled with moisture. I think senses "Filled with, characterised, or suggestive of liquid or moisture" and "Not dry, not dried out" can be on the same line. Leasnam 16:01, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, this already occurred to me.If I poured a larged bucket of water over a small sponge, it would be not dry, but unless evidence shows otherwise, it wouldn't be moist it would be soaking: or drenched: (etc.) So (IMO, unless evidence shows otherwise) this sense of moist only applies to things that are slightly wet, hence it is redundant. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:15, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, I see where you're going. It would be ambiguous and is probably not a good definition because it leaves an open end...A better one then might be "containing some moisture, as to not be dry or dried out"? or a qualifier for might be needed. Leasnam 15:31, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: soft, supple. In the use example, "moist lips" refers to lips that are somewhat wet. While something that's moist may also be supple, I don't think moist on its own means supple. Evidence? Mglovesfun (talk) 11:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The opposite of moist is dry, and dry things tend to be stiff and hard to bend. It does make sense to me at least... —CodeCat 01:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that's not a definition, is it? Someone who's intelligent may be educated, and someone who's educated may be intelligent, it doesn't mean that "educated" is a definition for "intelligent" or vice versa.

Wiktionary:Cleanup process

If you see an article you think needs cleanup then either clean it up yourself or nominate it for other Wiktionarians to have a look at. This page will tell you how to nominate a page for cleanup by others.

Reasons for cleanup
Some reasons for nominating an article for cleanup:
 * 1) It is a sub-stub (with too little information).
 * 2) It needs extensive formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English.
 * 3) It needs to be changed urgently for some reason.

Nomination process
How to nominate a page for cleanup:
 * Edit the page and insert the code rfc (or the appropriate other template from the preceding bullet point) at the top of the article or, if the request applies to only one section, to the top of that section. This will invoke the "Request for cleanup" (or other) template, which will both add the page to an appropriate category, and add an informative banner to the page. Save the page.
 * Click on the "+" sign in the banner that appears on the page; this will cause you to create a new section on the appropriate page, where you can nominate the entry. If there's no "+" in the banner:
 * Click Requests for cleanup (or other page) link in the banner that appears on the page.
 * On the Requests for cleanup (or other) page, use the Make a new nomination or Add section or similar link to add an explanation of your nomination for cleanup.
 * In the headline for your nomination, put the name of the nominated article as an internal Wiki link, e.g.:  === PileOfJunk === . This makes it easy for others to navigate to the article, and from the article to the discussion you're starting.
 * Give a brief reason for your nomination of the article for cleanup.
 * Thinking deeply before listing an article here is encouraged, but it is definitely not a requirement. Most comments here are first impressions, not considered analyses of an article. Before requesting citations at Requests for verification, it's good manners to do a cursory check for citations yourself so as to save others work.
 * Be specific. Saying "needs work" is not enough.

Closing process
Once the article is cleaned up:
 * Remove the  or other such code from the article,
 * Indicate that the cleanup is done in the appropriate section of Requests for cleanup or other list. The administrators may archive or delete the "discussion" sometime afterwards to keep the Requests for cleanup page current and not overly long.

Pages used
The following pages etc are used in the Cleanup process.

 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense (just for fun).

User talk:Sarahande

[Quoting e-mail] I submitted the Tiger Would Cocktail. Can I ask why was it deleted? Cheers, sarah

 * Hi. This seems to be a newly made-up phrase that hasn't entered popular usage yet. (You even mentioned when and where it was invented, I think.) If you want to add it anyway, you can use WT:LOP for new inventions. If you think it's been used by enough people, independent of the inventors, to be in the main dictionary, you will need to be able to support it with usages from books, newsgroups, etc. to meet the rules at WT:CFI (this stops everybody flooding the place with their made-up words). I can't find any mention of the cocktail in suitable sources. Equinox ◑ 01:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:rationalisation

Having this page state that it is an alternative spelling indicates that the correct spelling is with a z. This is only true in the US of A. In Australia and England, the correct spelling is with an s. I believe this should say the either the correct way of spelling rationalization (as England is where English comes from) or the Australian and English spelling of rationalization. If no-one responds to this within a week I will change it.

 * It indicates no such thing. Both spellings are correct. And "where English comes from" is a remarkably complex question. Welsh is probably a more "British Isles" language than the Roman- and Saxon-influenced English. Equinox ◑ 01:28, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Salafism

The phrase "which calls to adherence to the Path of the Messenger" does not distinguish this form of Islam from others. Sufis, Shia and others would also claim their form of Islam “calls to adherence to the Path of the Messenger”. How is Salafism different from other forms of Islam? I am not trying to be offensive here, I am merely making a point that this definition does not help a non-Muslim understand how Salafism differs from other forms of Islam.

Appendix:Easily confused Chinese characters

Some distinct CJK characters are easily confused, because they differ in subtle respects. On Wiktionary, graphically similar characters are listed at the top of entry pages, and are collected here for reference.

In practice, to recall distinctions between these characters one may use sound, meaning, or familiarity with compounds, in addition to pure graphical or etymology of characters distinctions.

This page discusses characters or components which may be confused with each other, yielding the wrong character or an invalid character, not characters which are complicated but unlikely to be confused with other characters.

This page does not treat variant forms, subtle or otherwise, such as 殼 to 殻, as these are very numerous and are more correctly incorrect forms or simply errors, rather than confusions. Variant forms are listed at individual characters. An exception is made when such a variation illustrates a more general distinction, such as 鄉 vs. 郷, which illustrates 良 vs. 艮.

Issues
Beyond confusing distinct characters, easily confused components can yield writing errors when one substitutes an incorrect component into a compound character. For example, in Japanese, writing 大 instead of 太 in 駄 yields 馱, which is not a Japanese character (it is a traditional Chinese one, however). Similarly, writing 達 as 辶 + 幸 misses an 一 stroke in the bottom part of the inner component, yielding an invalid character.

This is particularly an issue in complex characters, as the difference may be visually very small – a single small stroke.

Note also that forms of characters differ to some extent between scripts, which, besides being a separate complexity, means that in some cases one must specify the script (Tradition Chinese Hanzi vs. Japanese shinjitai Kanji, for instance) to clearly see the confusion.

Isolated characters
Some easily confused characters occur only or primarily in isolation:
 * 水 氷 永
 * Notes: extra dash on the second one, extra dash and hook top of vertical on the third one.
 * As combining forms, the first and second ones (water and ice) occur as 氵 and 冫 respectively; the third one finds use as a phonetic, notably.

 * 下 卞
 * Notes: Extra stroke at top of the second one.
 * The first one is very common, the latter is specialized and relatively rare.

 * 矢 失 先 (and 夭)
 * Notes: in the first one, the vertical strokes forms a T, rather than crossing the top horizontal; the bottom strokes form a point in the second one, but are separate in the third one (compare 大 六).
 * The first one is a radical (矢), and is also used in compound characters even when not the radical, as in 医.
 * The second and third ones are primarily used in isolation, though they appear in a few compound characters, such as 鉄 (for 失) and 洗 兟 (for 先).
 * Also, the second and third ones both appear in the common Japanese phrase
 * Beware also of 夭, which is used in a number of compound characters; see below.

 * 夭 天 夫 无
 * Notes: angled top stroke in the first one, horizontal top stroke forming a T in the second one, horizontal top stroke forming a cross (+) in the third one, different bottom strokes (especially bottom right) in the fourth one (compare 大 and 尢).
 * The first one (夭) is used in some compound characters, such as 笑, while the second and third ones (天 夫) are used in isolation, and the last is a radical, used in some characters – see Appendix:Chinese radical/无
 * The second one (天) is a very commonly used character, while the fourth one (无) is a Simplified Chinese character.
 * The second and fourth ones appear in the Chinese idiom (traditional ).

 * 刀 万 方

 * 人 入
 * Notes: added hook at top of the second one.
 * In some print fonts, characters have symmetric legs, and are easily confused; in handwriting, they are further distinguished by having asymetric legs: 入 has a shorted left leg and looks like λ (lambda), while 人 has a shorter right leg and looks like a backwards λ.

 * 又 夂 攵 女 夕
 * Note the number of strokes (2, 3, 4, 3, 3), and whether the horizontal line intersects the leftmost vertical line.

 * 船 般
 * Notes: the first one has 口 at bottom right, while the second one has 又.
 * In some fonts the first one also uses 儿 rather than 几.

Traditional characters
Some easily confused characters also occur in compounds, yielding easily confused compounds or potential errors in compounds.
 * 大 丈 尢 犬 太 尤 六 穴
 * Notes: The upper-left to lower-right stroke in 丈 crosses the main line; the strokes in 尢 are different, especially the lower right; 犬, 太, and 尤 each have an extra dot; 六 and 穴 are less easily confused, but similar.
 * Note the term 大丈夫, where several similar characters occur.
 * Compound characters: 馱 駄 䭾

 * 艮 良 (also 食, 退, and 民)
 * Notes: Extra stroke at top of the second one.
 * This distinction is particularly confusing because both components are widely used in compounds, where the distinction is often small; contrast 節 and 館.
 * Neither is categorically preferred: has no mark on top (鋃 is rare), while  and  have a mark on top (狠 is rare).
 * The top stroke is sometimes dropped in simplification; traditional Chinese and Japanese kyujitai use 鄉, while Japanese shinjitai uses 郷 (without the top stroke).
 * The common but unrelated character is graphically 人+良, and hence when there is a 人 on top, then there always is an extra stroke; ×人+艮 does not occur. This reflects distinct etymology, deriving from 𠊊 = 亼 + 皀. This is written 飠 as a left radical – note different foot. Thus, for example, 館 must have a stroke at the top, as indeed it does.
 * Further, the left radical of 食 is sometimes written slightly differently from 飠, as in the Japanese form of 餡, with two horizontal strokes 二 at the bottom and a horizontal stroke 一 at the top, rather than a short vertical; this is a traditional variant, found in Japanese kyujitai (used for ), and is closer to older forms.
 * The unrelated character 退 is written similarly, though in careful writing the character is distinguished, with the lower right stroke being unattached and convex, rather than attached and concave.
 * Lastly, 民 is occasionally used in compounds, and should not be confused with 艮. In Japanese, the most notable example is 眠, which should not be confused with 眼.
 * Examples:
 * 艮 (no top stroke): 根 痕 狠 恨 垠 銀 限 眼 𡯣 鞎 珢
 * 良 (top stroke): 娘 狼 浪
 * contrast: 銀 鋃 ; 狠 狼 ; 眼 眠

 * 月 ⺼
 * Notes: Cross strokes differ – in 月 they are horizontal and attached to sides, while in ⺼ they are diagonal and unattached.
 * In compounds, these may be drawn identically, as 月; in more careful usage ⺼ is drawn distinctly.
 * Etymologically, ⺼ is a form of, where the diagonals and gaps are clearer, while 月 is rather.
 * This is especially an issue in looking up characters by radical; ⺼ is more widely used, particularly for parts of the body, such as – compare Appendix:Chinese radical/月 and Appendix:Chinese radical/肉.

 * 土 士
 * Notes: Bottom stroke is long (longer than middle) in the first one, short (shorter than middle) in the second one.
 * Both used as radicals: 土 and 士.
 * 土 is much more widely used – it is one of the most common radicals – and when used as a left radical has a slanted bottom stroke, but 士 is also used in common characters.
 * In general, 土 is used in the left or bottom (as in 地 or 圣), while 士 is used on the top or right (as in 声 or 壮), though there are exceptions: 壻 uses 士.

 * 厂 广 (also 疒)
 * Notes: Extra stroke on top of the second one (and 2 extra strokes on left of the third one).
 * Another subtle difference, more manifested in writing errors than confusions of characters.
 * Compare also the top component in 左 and 有, a variant of.
 * Compare: 厅 庁, 压 庒, 厎 底, 厙 庫 (厍 库), 厠 廁, 厦 廈, 厪 廑
 * In Japanese, compare 歴 暦 磨 (the first two use 厂 while the last one uses 广).

 * 日 白 曰 臼
 * Notes: extra stroke on top of the second one, the third one is wider than the first one and the middle stroke does not go entirely across (in some fonts).
 * 日 曰 is one of the subtlest differences, particularly in looking up radicals.
 * The presence or absence of an extra stroke can be very subtle when these characters are used at the bottom: compare 替 (no top stroke) to 習 (top stroke).

 * 尸 戶 户 戸
 * Notes: extra stroke on the second, third and fourth ones, and differing forms of these characters.
 * Beyond the issue of including a top stroke or not, there are subtle differences in composition, notably whether the top stroke goes upper-right to lower-left, upper-left to lower-right, or horizontally left-to-right, and whether (in the first case) it connects with the left stroke or not. There are also stroke order differences: is 丿 (at left) the second stroke or last (fourth) stroke.
 * 尸 is more widely used as a radical, often connected with other strokes as in 尺, 局, and 屋 – see Appendix:Chinese radical/尸 – and not used in isolation in common Japanese.
 * 戶/户/戸 is used alone (especially to mean “door”), and sometimes used as part of compounds, though generally not connected with other strokes – see Appendix:Chinese radical/戶.
 * In Japanese, (on left) is the most common use, while 戻 房 扇 扉 are also found.

 * 目 自 且
 * Notes: extra stroke on top of the second one, bottom stroke of the third one is long.
 * 目 is a radical, widely used in complex characters (Appendix:Chinese radical/目), almost always on the left (as in 睡 眠), or top or bottom, with the notable exception of 相, which itself is used in complex characters such as 想.
 * 且, by contrast, is primarily used as the right component in characters such as 祖, and on the bottom in characters such as 冝, 宜, though it is also sometimes found on the left, as in 助.
 * 自 is also a radical, though less-used (Appendix:Chinese radical/自).

 * 罒 皿
 * Notes: the first one is a rectangle, while in the second one the bottom stroke extends past the sides.
 * Both widely used radicals, 罒 is always used on the top, and cannot be used in isolation; while 皿 is always used on the bottom, and can be used in isolation.
 * Contrast: 罘 盃

 * 往 住 隹 信
 * Notes: the second one has 3 horizontal lines (王), while the third one has 4 horizontal lines.
 * The first one has a 彳 radical. The first, second and fourth ones are only used in isolation, while the third one,, is a radical and used in some compound characters, such as 集, 准, 隻 and 雙.
 * The third and fourth ones start with the same 6 strokes in practically the same positions, which can trip up muscle memory.

 * 専 尃
 * Notes: the second one has an extra dot.
 * These are from 叀 and 甫.
 * Another subtle difference, more manifested in writing errors than confusions of characters.
 * In Japanese, when used in isolation there is no dot – – but when used in compounds there often is a dot, as in 博 and the similar 敷.

 * 未 末
 * Notes: Longer top stroke in the second one.
 * These are used both in isolation and in compounds.
 * Another subtle difference, more manifested in writing errors than confusions of characters.
 * In compounds, the shorter stroke appears in a number of compounds: 味 妹 魅 昧, while the longer stroke appears in 抹.

 * 史 吏 更
 * Notes: No top stroke in the first one, top stroke in the second one crosses (+) the hook, top stroke in the third one touches (T) the hook; 口 in the first two, 曰 in the third one.
 * Compounds: 使 便

 * 甲 申 由 (also 田)
 * Notes: in the first one, vertical stroke touches (T) the top stroke of 日; in the second one, the vertical stroke cuts through 日; in the third one, the vertical stroke touches the bottom.
 * All occur in some compounds, but rarely ambiguously, hence cause of writing errors rather than confusions of characters. In Japanese, 押 神 油 are the most common uses.
 * Examples:
 * 甲: 押 岬 匣 鴨
 * 申: 神 伸 紳 呻 暢
 * 由: 油 抽 軸 柚 岫 蚰 釉 届 鼬
 * contrast: 押 抽 ; 岬 岫

 * 西 酉
 * Notes: Extra stroke 一 in the second one.
 * 酉 is mostly used in compounds (it is not commonly used in isolation in Japanese, and is mostly used as the 10th zodiac symbol in China), and is particularly associated with . is often used in isolation.
 * As parts of compounds, both are used as radicals: 西 is mostly used as a top component, as in 要, while 酉 is rather used as a left component, as in 配.
 * contrast: 洒 酒

 * 可 司 (also 句 包)
 * Notes: Extra stroke 一 in the second one, and the top-right part is two strokes in the first one, one turning stroke in the second one.
 * Some use in more complex characters, as in 歌 and 詞.
 * Some risk of confusion, beware also of composition and stroke order errors.
 * contrast: 何 伺

 * 卬 卯
 * Notes: Extra stroke on left half of the second one.
 * In Japanese, neither is used in isolation, but occur in compounds or similar characters: 迎 for the first one, 卵 and 柳 for the second one.

 * 充 㐬
 * Notes: 儿 in the second one, 川 in the third one (extra middle stroke).
 * In Japanese, 充 is used in isolation and in compounds, such as 統, while 㐬 is used only in compounds, namely 流 and 硫.

 * 菐 業
 * Notes: 人 at bottom of the first one, 不 at bottom of the second one (extra vertical line).
 * In Japanese, little risk of confusion; 菐 is primarily used in, while 業 is primarily used in isolation.
 * Both are also used in a number of compounds.
 * Contrast: 瞨 曗

 * 佘 余
 * Notes: longer vertical line in the second one.
 * In Japanese, 佘 is not used in isolation, but compare 示, while 余 is used in isolation, and in compound characters such as 除.

 * 貝 見
 * Notes: 儿 in the second one.

 * 辛 幸 㚔 羍
 * Notes: the second one has an extra 一 stroke on the top, while the third and fourth ones are in two parts, and the fourth one has an extra 一 stroke in the bottom (the first three: 1 bottom stroke; the last one: 2 bottom strokes)
 * Compound characters:
 * 辛: a radical; Appendix:Chinese radical/辛
 * 幸: 倖 執 婞 睪 (hence 譯)
 * 羍: 達
 * In Japanese, 辛 is commonly used alone, and in 辞 and 壁; 幸 is used alone and in 執; 羍 is not used alone, but is used in 達.

 * 易 昜
 * Notes: 勿 in the first one, extra 一 in the second one
 * 易 is used in isolation, but rarely used in compounds; examples include 蜴 and 賜.
 * 昜, by contrast, is little used in isolation, but widely used in compounds.
 * Note that 勿 is also used in 物.

 * 巾 帀 市
 * Notes: 一 on the second one, 亠 on the third one
 * 巾 is a radical (index), and in almost all cases appears unmodified in compounds, either on the left or the bottom.
 * In rare cases, it will appear on the right, in which case it may appear as 帀, as in 師 (compare 帥) (simplified 师 帅), or as 市, as in 姉 柿.
 * Contrast: 帥 師 帅 师

 * 鳥 烏 (and corresponding simplified: 鸟 乌)
 * Notes: Extra horizontal 一 stroke in the first one, which is the more common character.

 * 用 角
 * Notes: Center stroke goes all the way down in the first one, but only forms square in the second one (as in 田), at least in Japanese (in some Chinese forms, 角 has a long center stroke, identical to 用).
 * Primarily a composition error, rather than confusion.
 * 角 is a common radical – see Appendix:Chinese radical/角.
 * Beware also of 角 vs. 甬.
 * Also note similar 甫, and distinguish from 再 and the bottoms of 冓 黄 (more below).

 * 冓 黄 (also 黃)
 * Notes: the first one has an extra 一 stroke on the top (first: 2 top strokes; second: 1 top stroke), and bottom differs: the first one is 再, while the second one looks like 貝 (with 田 instead of 目).
 * Compound characters: 構 横

 * 召 叧 另
 * Notes: the first one is 刀 on 口, the second one reverses order, and the third one has 力 on the bottom.
 * 召 is used in isolation and widely used as a phonetic. The others are more rarely used; the most prominent example in Japanese is 拐.
 * Contrast: 招 拐

 * 害 呈
 * Notes: the first one has 宀 on top, a longer vertical stroke (like 主), and 口 on the bottom; the second one is 口 on 王
 * Not widely used, but a possible composition error, as in 割, 轄, or 程.

 * 売 壳
 * Notes: different lower portion (儿 in the first one, 几 in the second one); also the middle component of the second one differs between scripts.
 * This distinction is primarily a Japanese shinjitai issue; 売 is used in isolation, while 壳 is not, but forms of both are used in compound characters: compare 続 with 殻.

 * 巷 巻
 * Notes: the first one has two vertical strokes, while the second one instead has diagonal strokes, and 3 strokes at top.
 * Not widely used, but a possible composition error, as in 港

 * 戊 戌 戍 / 或 咸 / 成 戉
 * Notes: in the first group, extra dashes in the second and third ones; in the second group, reversed order of 口 and 一 and extra side stroke in the second one; in the third group, stroke on left differs.
 * There are several variants and derivatives of which differ in various respects.
 * In Japanese, the characters 或, 咸, and 戉 are not commonly used in isolation, but they are used in compound characters, such as 惑, 感, and 越.
 * Contrast: 惑 感

 * 弋 戈
 * Notes: extra stroke in the second one.
 * Both are used as radicals: Appendix:Chinese radical/弋 and Appendix:Chinese radical/戈.
 * 戈 is used in many variants (as discussed above), many with an added stroke on the left (戊), while 弋 does not admit such a stroke.
 * In Japanese, 弋 is primarily used in 代, 式, and 弐.

 * 比 此
 * Notes: extra vertical stroke in the second one.
 * 比 is a radical, and used in a number of compound characters (such as 皆), while 此 finds some use, as in 紫.

 * 侖 俞
 * Notes: bottom of the first one looks like 冊, bottom of the second one looks like bottom of 前 (月 + 刂).
 * Contrast: 論 諭, 輪 輸, 惀 愉

 * 平 乎
 * Notes: the first one has a flat top stroke, and straight center stroke; the second one has a slanted top stroke, and center stroke hooks at bottom.
 * In Japanese, 平 is used in isolation, and in the compound character 坪 秤 評, while 乎 is not used in isolation but is used in the compound character 呼. The confusion thus primarily occurs in composition errors in these characters, particularly for 呼, which is unlike the others.

 * 子 于 干 千
 * Notes: the first one has hooked head, the vertical stroke starts at the hook, not the top, and bottom is hooked; the second one has flat top stroke, the vertical stroke starts at the top, and bottom is hooked; the third one has flat top and straight vertical; the fourth one has slanted top and straight vertical.
 * 子 is a very basic, and widely used in compounds; 于 is common in isolation in Chinese, but not Japanese; 干 is a basic graphic form, used in isolation and with variants found in many characters; 千 is a basic character, found in some compounds.
 * Contrast: 字 宇, 孟 盂, 仠 仟, 奸 奷

 * 斤 斥
 * Notes: the second one has an extra diagonal stroke on right vertical.
 * In Japanese, both occur in isolation; 斤 is also widely used in compound characters, while 斥 occurs in 訴.
 * Contrast: 訢 訴

 * 目 耳
 * Notes: the first one has a rectangular border, while the second one has strokes that pass the border.
 * Primarily a composition error, when the characters appear as small components, they can be difficult to distinguish, as in 嚴 (厳), which uses a variant of 耳 at lower left.

 * 己 已 巳
 * Notes: the first one has open top, the second one has almost closed top, and the third one has closed loop at top.
 * Primarily a composition error, particularly between Japanese and traditional Chinese.

 * 具 真 直 貝
 * Notes: the first one has no 十 on top, the third one has no 八 below.
 * Beyond confusion, there are various typographical differences, such as whether the top 目 connects to the bottom or is separate – see discussion at 具 and 真.
 * Contrast: 惧 慎; 椇 槙 植

 * 垂 重
 * Notes: the first one has one stroke 一 at top and bottom, and middle strokes extend past verticals, while the second one has two strokes 二 at top and bottom, and middle strokes stop at verticals (form a 日).
 * Primarily a composition error; in Japanese 垂 is used in isolation, and in compounds in the common character 睡 and rare character 錘, while 重 is used in isolation, and in compounds in the common characters 動 (and 働) and 種, and in the rare character 鍾.
 * Contrast: 錘 鍾

 * 奉 奏 秦 泰
 * Notes: all have 𡗗 as top, bottom is 𰀁, 天, 禾, or 水.
 * Easily confused due to small component at bottom, all roughly cross-shaped.
 * Contrast: 棒 榛, 俸 傣

 * 犮 发
 * Contrast: 拔 拨

 * 免 兔 鬼

Simplified characters

 * 衣 农
 * Notes: the second one has a 冖 radical and the third stroke extends above it, while the first one has a 丶 on top.

 * 车 东 乐 𫠣
 * Notes: the first one three are standalone characters, while the fourth one is only used as a component (e.g. 炼).

 * 夏 复
 * Notes: the first one has 𦣻, while the second one has 𭥍.

 * 进 近
 * Notes: also pronounced the same.

Components
Certain strokes do not appear, or do not often appear, as a distinct character, but are used as a component in other characters.
 * 氵 冫
 * Notes: 3 strokes on the first one, 2 strokes on the second one.
 * Both are widely used as radicals – Appendix:Chinese radical/水 and Appendix:Chinese radical/冫 – but 氵 (from ) is much more commonly used, being one of the most used radicals.
 * Note also that the radical 疒 (Appendix:Chinese radical/疒), as in 病, 疲, has two strokes on the left, though it is unrelated to 冫.
 * This latter (疒) should not be confused with 渡 (compare 疲), which is derived from 氵.

 * 扌 牜 土 (as left radical, as in 地)
 * Notes: extra stroke on the second one; the first and second ones have long vertical that crosses bottom stroke, while the third one has short vertical that T-junctions at bottom stroke.
 * 扌 and 土 are both extremely common radicals, while in Japanese common shinjitai, 牜 is only used for five characters: 牧 物 牲 特 犠.
 * In cases where both 扌 and 土 occur as a radical, particularly in a less-used character, confusion is very common.
 * Contrast: 掘 堀 担 坦 提 堤

 * 礻 衤 (first one same form as katakana ネ)
 * Notes: the second one has an extra diagonal stroke in the lower right; it derives from, where the stroke is clearer.
 * This is one of the subtlest differences, as both components are frequently used as left radicals, where the small stroke is easily missed.
 * In Japanese, a rough guide is that the first one (礻) is used in simpler characters such as 礼, while the second one (衤) is used in more complicated characters such as 襟, with the notable exception of 初.
 * Contrast: 禅 褝

 * 冖 宀 亠 (and 一)
 * Notes: the second and third ones have extra top stroke, and the third one also has no side strokes.
 * All three are used as radicals – Appendix:Chinese radical/冖, Appendix:Chinese radical/宀, and Appendix:Chinese radical/亠 – but is most common. When used as minor strokes in a complex character, these can be confused with each other, or with a plain 一. Compare 隔 (from 鬲, with 一 on top) with 熟 (from 享, with 亠 on top).
 * In Japanese, the most common uses of 冖 are 写 and 冠 (also 塚), while 宀 is widely used, as in 字 and 家.
 * As minor strokes of complex characters, 亠 and 一 are most used, while 宀 and 冖 are mostly used as overall tops. There are exceptions, however, such as 確 and 塚.
 * Contrast: 冝 宜, 冢 冡 家, 冨 富, 冩 寫, 冦 寇

 * 兀 㓁 冘 穴 (and 几)
 * Notes: the first one has no side strokes, the third one has a single stroke from top to bottom left, and all but the fourth one have a hook stroke (乚) at bottom right.
 * Beware also that while 穴 is a common radical (Appendix:Chinese radical/穴), the variant 㓁 is also found (no top stroke, hook (乚) at right), notably in 罙 (whence 深, 探) and 罕.
 * This should also not be confused with 兀, as in 微 (in Japan), which has no side strokes, or 几, whose top does not extend.
 * The variant 冘 is also found, notably in 沈 枕 耽 鴆.
 * Contrast: 六 穴, 壳 売, 殼 殻

 * 癶 (as in 発 and 登) vs. the top of 祭 (also used in various compounds) vs. the top of 眘/尞 (as in 寮)
 * Notes; differences include (“1 horizontal + 1 diagonal stroke” is actually a combined hook stroke):
 * 癶 – in the first one, 1 diagonal stroke on the left, 2 diagonal strokes on the right, 1 horizontal stroke on the left;
 * 祭 – in the second one, 2 diagonal strokes on the left, 1 diagonal stroke on the right, 1 horizontal stroke and 1 parallel diagonal stroke on the left, 1 horizontal stroke on the right;
 * 寮 – in the third one, 1 diagonal stroke on the left, 1 diagonal stroke on the right, and 1 single horizontal stroke across the top of both.

 * 𰃮 (U300EE.svg; as in 学) vs. 龸 (U9FB8.svg; as in 堂) vs. 爫 (as in 妥).
 * Notes: the middle stroke differs: in 学 the middle stroke is diagonal and does not touch, while in 堂 the middle stroke is vertical and does touch; 妥 (爫) is like the first one, but with an added stroke across the top.
 * All three are used in several characters.
 * The stroke order differs between these, which aids distinguishing them: in 堂 the middle stroke is the first one, while in 学 the left stroke is the first one.

 * 車 vs. 龺 (as in 朝)
 * Notes: in the first one, the vertical stroke goes through the middle 日, while in the second one, it does not.
 * These are both used as components in a number of characters.
 * In Japanese, 車 is generally used, with the common exceptions of 朝 乾 幹.
 * Compare Appendix:Chinese radical/車 with 倝
 * Compounds: 軒 幹

 * 灬 vs. 㣺 (as in 恭; also 心 or 小 as a bottom)
 * Notes: in the second one, the second stroke is vertical and long.
 * Mostly a writing issue, not a confusion one.
 * 灬 is very common, being the bottom form of.
 * The other is unusual, being seen in Japanese common shijintai only in 慕 and 恭.
 * When 心 is drawn as a bottom radical, while the second stroke from the left is drawn longer, passing under the third stroke from left, to avoid confusion with 灬.
 * Compare: 熊 態

 * 阝
 * While 阝 is not likely to be confused with other components, it is the combining form of two radicals: 阜 and 邑. These are distinguished by whether it is used on the left (form of 阜) or on the right (form of 邑), which distinction is necessary when looking up by radical.

 * 夂 攵 (also 女)
 * Notes: top horizontal stroke extends to right in the second one; 女 relatively different, with one stroke on top-left to bottom-right.
 * Mostly a composition error; note that the first one has 3 strokes, while the second one has 4.
 * Both appear with some frequency as components – Appendix:Chinese radical/夂 and Appendix:Chinese radical/攴 – but the second one (攵) is much more common.
 * As a simple rule, 夂 occurs on the top and bottom as in 降 and 夏, while 攵 appears on the right, as in 数.
 * As small components, these may be confused with 女, which occurs widely – for example, in 数, the bottom left is 女, while the right is 攵.

 * 寉 隺
 * The phonetic component in 確 (寉/隺) is graphically very similar to the component in Japanese shinjitai 観 権 (simplified from 雚). Both contain 隹 as the bottom, but the top is slightly different.

 * 龹 (as in 券 and 拳) vs. 𡗗 (as in 春 and 奉)
 * Notes: the first one has 2 horizontal lines (二) and 2 top diagonal strokes, while the second one has 3 horizontal lines (三) and no top diagonals.
 * Note also that where the last stroke (top-left to bottom-right, in lower right of character) starts varies between fonts – may start at any of the horizontal lines, yielding minor differences.
 * Mostly a composition error.

 * 彐 ヨ (approximately)
 * Notes: the first one has a long bottom horizontal stroke, while in the second one the bottom stroke stops at the vertical stroke at right. (The second one component does not appear in isolation; the katakana ヨ is being used to represent it.)
 * This is a subtle composition issue, related to etymology: 彐 derives from 彑, where the bottom horizontal stroke is more evident, while ヨ derives either from 羽, where the right vertical stroke is more evident, or top of 帚 (肀).
 * 彐 is particularly found in 录, used in common Japanese characters 緑 and 録 and the less common 禄.
 * ヨ is found in the Japanese form of 翟, found in the common characters 曜, 濯, and 躍, and the less common 擢, 燿, and 耀, as well as 婦 and 帰.

 * 父 乂/㐅 交
 * Notes: the first one has 4 strokes (2 upper ones), while the second one pair are a 2-stroke ‘X’ shape, the third one has a 亠 on top.
 * Various shapes of the approximate form 亠 + (an ‘X’ shape/乂) exist; these resemble 父/乂 but are unrelated etymologically.
 * The character 交 is used in the common characters 効 (效) 校.
 * The Japanese shinjitai character 対 has a simplified left component which is not (the 6-stroke) 交, but rather a 4-stroke 亠 + 乂 (not 父).
 * Mostly a composition error.

 * 𠂤 (as in 師) vs. 㠯 (as in 官)
 * Notes: the first one has a top stroke, while the second one has no top stroke (the third one has middle stroke in the center, rather than at left)
 * This is a minor composition error – the form with the top stroke is common, due to this being a productive phonetic, but the related 遣 does not have a top stroke, and a number of characters are derived from 官, which is unrelated (it is a simplification of 呂).
 * Writing either form with or without the top stroke has existed as a variant form since Bronze script.
 * Compare 追 師 歸 (but 遣 and 鑓) with 官 館 (馆 舘) 菅 管.

Complex characters
Some complex characters differ in a small component; the components may not be similar, but play a minor part in the overall character.

 * 度 席
 * Notes: 又 in the first one, 巾 in the second one.
 * Not a very subtle distinction, but these are both common characters in Japanese (grades 3 and 4, respectively), hence a common confusion.

 * 微 徴 徵
 * Notes: 兀 in the first one, 王 in the second one, 一 over 王 in the third one.

 * 侯 候
 * Note the extra vertical stroke in the second one.

 * 殻 穀
 * In the first one, the lower left is 几; in the second one, it is 禾.

 * 集 隼
 * In the first one, the bottom is 木; in the second one, the bottom is 十.

 * 豕 㒸
 * Notes: the second one has extra 丷 on top.
 * Contrast: 逐 遂

 * 賃 貸
 * Notes: 任 (壬) in the first one, 代 (弋) in the second one.
 * Both appear in compound 賃貸

 * 鈎 鉱
 * Notes: 勾 (勹) in the first one, 広 (广) in the second one.

 * Derivatives of 虍
 * Various derivatives of 虍 are quite complicated and hard to distinguish, because the additional strokes are in a small area at the bottom; see Appendix:Chinese radical/虍 for examples.
 * For example, in Japanese 劇 慮 虚 戯 and 膚 are all common kanji.

 * 熱 熟
 * The first one has 坴 on top left, while the second one has 享.

 * 璧 壁
 * The first one has 玉 at bottom, while the second one has 土.

 * 奏 秦 泰
 * The first one has 夭 at bottom, the second one has 禾, and the third one has 水 (in all cases 𡗗 on top).

 * 幣 弊
 * The first one has 巾 at bottom, while the second one has 廾 (both have 敝 on top).

 * 娃 姓
 * The first one has 圭 on right, while the second one has 生.

 * 擊 繫
 * The first one has 手 at bottom, while the second one has 糸.

Spoofing variants
Unicode database has special set of characters for these, called "Spoofing variants". They define spoofing variants as variants that are potentially used in bad faith to direct users to unexpected URLs, evade email filters, or otherwise deceive end-users. Determining whether or not two ideographs are spoofing variants is based entirely on the glyph shape, without regard for semantics. Etymologically unrelated pairs such as U+571F 土 and U+58EB 士 or U+672A 未 and U+672B 末 are considered spoofing variants. A common source of spoofing variants is deliberate confusion between Radicals 74 (⽉) and 130 (⾁). These two radicals, when used in Han ideographs, look very similar or identical (for example, in U+3B35 㬵 and U+80F6 胶). Similarly, even if the visual appearance of two radicals is distinct, they may be similar enough that a user might overlook the distinction (for example, ⼎ and ⺡), especially in a spoofing context such as https://凊水.org/ versus https://清水.org/. Spoofing variants also include instances where two highly similar shapes are separately encoded because of source code separation, without regard to other considerations. Cases include the following pairs: U+672C 本 and U+5932 夲; U+520A 刊 and U+520B 刋.

Some spoofing variants might be sufficiently dissimilar in shape that they can be distinguished at large point sizes. Others are dissimilar in meaning so that they can be distinguished in running text. They might also be visually distinct in one font but not another, due to the language or region that the font supports. These considerations are irrelevant to their status; even dissimilar pairs can be used to misdirect users (particularly when URLs are displayed at small point sizes).

Their list has about 300 pairs of spoofing variants. Further reading: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr38/index.html#Spoofing

Talk:so be it

RFV discussion
Sense2: A translation and echo of amen. Not sure I get this. Does it add anything beyond sense1? -- WikiPedant 17:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "so be it" would be an alternative sense for "amen", not the other way around. As such, delete this sense, and make "so be it" a separate sense on the "amen" entry (currently it's combined with the religious sense).--TBC  18:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you're saying, TBC. Do you mean that amen also means "(indicating acceptance of a bad situation)"? I'm unfamiliar with that sense, though that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.—msh210 ℠ 20:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me clarify; I' trying to say that sense1 for amen should be split into two. "End of prayers" is hardly synonymous with "so be it" (also, so be it does not necessarily always refer to accepting a bad situation).--TBC  06:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's a literal translation of אמן:, but do think it means the same as amen does: it expresses a wish/prayer that something just stated occur. I imagine that that's the RFVed sense means. Did you mean this to be a request for verification of that, WikiPedant?—msh210 ℠ 20:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, msh, that sense (expressing a wish/prayer that something just stated should happen) did not occur to me. It would be distinct from sense1.  I wonder how well it can be attested.  I ordinarily associate "so be it" with a situation which the speaker finds less than congenial but which he/she is prepared to accept (after swallowing hard). -- WikiPedant 20:16, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Isn't that what amen is? Our definition for amen is "so be it"! Perhaps both should be rewritten as "(expressing a wish/prayer that something just stated occur)" if it's citable. Or perhaps something else is meant by the "amen" sense of so be it and by the "so be it" sense of amen. Any ideas as to what else it could be?—msh210 ℠ 20:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I think I disagree on two counts. First of all, it's true that taken literally, "so be it" is a jussive use of the subjunctive and therefore expresses a desired state (just like "G-d's will be done", "be it resolved that ", etc.); but my experience matches WikiPedant's, that it always means "O.K., fine, whatever, I can take it." Second of all, in my experience "amen" indicates agreement with something just uttered — "This is the best country on Earth, and everyone who doesn't like it can get the Hell out." "Amen!" — and expresses a wish/prayer only in the special case that the thing just uttered was a wish/prayer — "I wish the people of this country would learn to live together in peace and harmony." "Amen!" (though in some religious circles there's a tendency to blur the distinction between what should be and what will be, such that "Someday everyone will live together peacefully." "Amen!" means both). —Ruakh TALK 23:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the "echo of amen" sense given for so be it is evident from . And it's definitely a sense distinct from the "I can take it" sense. But you're right: amen means agreement with a recent statement, not only expressing a wish for the future.—msh210 ℠ 17:53, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I couldn't even understand what it meant, a "translation of amen" - amen is an English word anyway. Removed. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:12, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
