Appendix:French defective verbs

A French defective verb is a verb that is entirely lacking part of its conjugation.

Definition and causes of defectiveness
There are many reasons why a verb may be lacking some forms. Most grammar treats defective verbs solely as those verbs where some forms would be fanciful (that is, purely impersonal verbs such as or ) and verbs for which certain forms do not exist at all anymore, usually because of homonymy (, homonymous with ). This definition has generally excluded a number of verbs that, for example, have a conjugation that can be easily "completed", but, although not impersonal, are generally used only in the third person singular or plural in practice, as well as many reciprocal verbs that cannot be used in the singular.

Reasons for a verb to be truly defective are varied: the meaning of the verb may prevent its use in certain tenses, it might subsist solely as part of a set phrases or an idiom, or it might have been replaced in most uses by a more regular verb, leading to some forms falling out of uses. Finally, some adjectives that were once past participle of verbs with full conjugations are often used in compound tenses.

Additionally, some verbs are frequently given as defective in some tenses (most frequently the past historic and imperfect subjunctive), when in fact they are still used, although infrequently, in these forms.

Functionally defective verbs
These are partial lists of verbs or verb meanings that are either almost only used in the third person, or practically lack a specific tense.

Verbs that are additionally defective are in bold.
 * Verbs lacking a tense but not considered defective
 * accoutumer (archaic in the simple tenses)
 * bouillir (imperative)
 * devoir (imperative)
 * naître (imperative)
 * pouvoir (imperative)
 * provenir (compound tenses)
 * renaître (compound tenses)
 * valoir (imperative)
 * Verbs used only or overwhelmingly in the third persons.
 * advenir
 * agneler
 * amuïr
 * barrir
 * braire
 * bruire
 * béer
 * chauvir
 * concerner
 * découler
 * dégénérer
 * échoir
 * éclore
 * émaner
 * ensuivre
 * falloir
 * importer
 * luire
 * messeoir
 * poindre
 * pulluler
 * raire
 * rassir
 * reluire
 * résulter
 * sinuer
 * sourdre
 * transir
 * urger
 * vêler

The commonest of these verbs are often quoted with an infinitive in dictionaries, but are rare enough in modern use as to be functionally defective, as they are usually used most in compound forms. Those that descend from fully conjugated verbs may be considered merely archaic or obsolete.
 * Verbs occasionally reconstructed from a surviving participle
 * contrire (contrit)
 * contondre (contondant, contus)
 * controuver (controuvé)
 * dénuer (dénué)
 * désemparer (désemparé)
 * dévoloir (dévolu)
 * douer (doué)
 * écloper (éclopé)
 * éperdre (éperdu)
 * interdire (interdit)
 * issir (issu, issant)
 * méfaire (méfait)
 * parfaire (parfait)
 * perclure (perclus)
 * reclure (reclus)
 * stupéfaire (stupéfait)
 * tître (tissu)
 * usiter (usité)
 * vermoudre or vermouler (vermoulu)

Verbs found only in some set phrases

 * accroire
 * This verb's infinitive remains only in the expressions and the less frequent . The latter mostly has been replaced by the eggcorn, while the former is also undercut by . That usage has been criticized since the late nineteenth century and is still considered a mistake. A related construction with , inherited from Old French, has disappeared from use.

 * apparoir
 * is the prime remnant of this legalistic verb. Even in that expression it is undercut by.

 * bienvenir
 * This verb is found in the pronominal form . Like its common adjectival from, it is often split in two words by authors.

 * chaloir
 * This verb, meaning "matter to" is fully impersonal and found in variation of the formal expression . The present is the most frequent form, but the infinitive, indicative imperfect, conditional and present subjunctive  are also encountered.

 * comparoir
 * This verb is a dated legal usage meaning "to appear before a court" and is used only in the infinitive and present participle. In all other tenses, (a reconstruction based on a more frequent verb) is used, and is also displacing it in these two forms.

 * férir
 * The only remaining common use of this verb is the idiom.

 * partir (second group)
 * This verb, not to be confused with, is used in the expression and as a participle meaning "split in two colors", from heraldry.

Verbs missing part of their conjugation

 * ardre
 * This verb, meaning "to burn", mostly fell out of usage in the seventeenth and eighteenth century, leaving only its imperfect, subjunctive and infinitive with a modicum of liveliness. An equally literary and rare was reconstructed from these forms, and has a complete conjugation. A form  also existed. The commoner words  and  are related.

 * Indicative imperfect: ard+first-group endings
 * Subjunctive present: ard+first-group endings
 * braire
 * Like many verbs relating to animal cries (it means "to bray"), this verb, though it is often applied to people (meaning "to holler"), is primarily used in the third persons, where it has the conjugation of . However, the only tenses commonly encountered are the infinitive, indicative present, imperfect, future and conditional.

 * Indicative
 * Present: brait, braient (rare: brais, brais, brayons, brayez)
 * Imperfect: bray+first-group endings
 * Future/conditional: brair+first-group endings
 * choir
 * Although it may be most common in the third persons, the other forms of those tense that are in uses are not unknown. Its most well-known use in the future (which is otherwise exceptional) is in the traditional Charles Perrault version of Little Red Riding Hood: "Tire la chevillette, [et] la bobinette cherra." The major tenses are the past participle, infinitive, indicative present and past historic. One could presumably easily reconstruct missing forms from the more complete or  (although strictly speaking, the verb is probably conjugated like, hence the variation in the future tense), but this is not usually done.

 * Indicative
 * Present: chois, chois, choit, choyons, choyez, choient
 * Past historic: chus, chus, chut, chûmes, chûtes, churent
 * Future/conditional (rare): cherr/choir+first-group endings
 * clore and derived verbs
 * Clore is only common in the infinitive, indicative present, and past participle, although grammars typically give only the past historic, indicative and subjunctive imperfect as unused. Its derived verbs other than and  (that is,  and ) have similar conjugation gaps (see Appendix:French irregular verbs).

 * Participle: clos, closant
 * Indicative
 * Present: clos, clos, clôt, closons (unused), closiez (unused), closent
 * Imperfect (unused): clos+first-group endings
 * Past historic (unused): clos+second-group endings
 * Future/conditional (rare): clor+first-group endings
 * Subjunctive
 * Present (rare): clos+first-group endings
 * Imperfect (unused): clos+second-group endings
 * Imperative (rare): clos, closons, closiez
 * échoir
 * This verb is never used outside the third person, and has no imperative. It also has several alternative forms. It is frequently given as missing the indicative and subjunctive imperfect, but this appears to be an oversimplification based on the fact the tenses are missing from.

 * Participle: échu, échéant
 * Indicative
 * Present: échoit (legal, archaic: échet), échoient
 * Imperfect: éché+first-group endings (alternative: échoy+first-group endings)
 * Past historic: échut, échurent
 * Future/conditional: échoir+first-group endings (uncommon alternative: écherr+first-group endings)
 * Subjunctive
 * Present: échoie, échoient
 * Imperfect: échût, échussent
 * forclore
 * This verb is only used in the infinitive and past participle:.

 * frire
 * Although the conjugation of this verb could conceivably be aligned on that of, it has long been supplanted in most of its conjugation by a causative periphrasis: since it is an unaccusative verb. The only tenses encountered are the singular present indicative, the future, conditional, and, much less commonly, the compound tenses.

 * Indicative
 * Present: fris, fris, frit
 * Future/conditional: frir+first-group endings
 * messeoir
 * Meaning "to be inappropriate", this verb has the conjugation of (see below), but is mostly restricted to the indicative present third person singular, with other forms used much less commonly.

 * occire
 * This archaic verb is mostly restricted to the infinitive and past participle, but its conjugation can be readily completed with that of , and some of these forms have been used by respected authors.

 * ouïr
 * This verb, meaning "hear, listen" is very rare outside the infinitive and compound tenses. In modern use, there is a tendency to reconstruct other forms as a second-group verb. Its second-person imperative, used in public announcement in historic fiction, is probably the best-known form. The original, obsolete conjugation is very rarely resurrect by some, and is given below:

 * Participle: ouï, oyant
 * Indicative
 * Present: oie, oies, oie, oyons, oyez, oient
 * Imperfect: oyais, oyais, oyait, oyions, oyiez, oyaient
 * Past historic: ouïs, ouïs, ouït, ouïmes, ouïtes, ouïrent
 * Future/conditional: orr+first-group endings
 * Subjunctive
 * Present: oie, oies, oie, oyions, oyiez, oient
 * Imperfect: ouïsse, ouïsses, ouït, ouïssions, ouïssiez, ouïssent
 * paître
 * This verb is conjugated like, but unlike , is not used in those tenses where it is homographic with , namely the compound tenses and past participle, past historic, and subjunctive imperfect.

 * quérir
 * It is exceptional to find this verb outside the infinitive. When this is the case, it conjugates like.

 * raire
 * Used to describe the cry of the male deer, this verb has the same conjugation as above, but is rarer as it has been mostly replaced by  and.

 * semondre
 * This verb is still rarely used in the infinitive or indicative present. It conjugates like in the present indicative. It has been replaced by.

 * seoir
 * This is a rare example of a verb whose infinitive is one of the forms that are almost never used. It is used only in the third persons and mostly in the meaning "to be appropriate". Its participles, and  have taken distinct meanings of their own.

 * Indicative
 * Present: sied, siéent
 * Imperfect: seyait, seyaient
 * Future: siéra, siéront
 * Subjunctive
 * Present (rare): siée, siéent
 * traire
 * For a discussion of the status of this verb and its derivatives, see Appendix:French irregular verbs

Talk:pendula

Plural "pendula"
The Latin word is perpendiculum (or the adjective pendulus from which the neuter noun pendulum was later derived long after the days of Classical Latin), so "pendula" cannot be a correct original Latin form. At best it is an invented plural from the seventeenth century, pretending to be a Latin form.  D b f  i  r  s   21:36, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I’ve marked it as “hypercorrect”, the term of art for these latter-day formations, and expanded the etymology – how does it look?
 * —Nils von Barth (nbarth) (talk) 16:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm happy with your improvement, and I'm surprised at how often "coupled pendula" occurs (though "coupled pendulums" is twice as common). I suppose we need to strike a balance between recording common "hypercorrect" errors (especially by physicists?) and giving the impression that all plurals are equally valid.

At best it is an invented plural from the seventeenth century, pretending to be a Latin form.  D b f  i  r  s   21:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, it seems actually, pendulum IS derived from pendulus, from which the neuter noun pendulum was derived. Thus, pendula is the correct plural form of pendulum. In this light, the above argument seems to contradict itself. Moreover, how exactly does pendulum derive from perpendiculum?

Also, referring to the entry, why is then "pendula" a hypercorrect form? --134.76.221.218 00:18, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Hypercorrect doesn't seem to apply in this case. But, as you probably realize, there are many contexts in which any use of a non-English-based plural form is likely to be viewed as an affectation. DCDuring TALK 11:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

The informal sense of "to booze" is conjugated differently, as a regular -ar verb. I don't know how to indicate that here. The Swedish Wiktionary allows users to specify which senses ("betydelser") a conjugation table refers to. Maybe the English Wiktionary allows this too for Swedish entries, but I don't know how.

Talk:glom

get to stick
I have worked with several molecular biologists who use "glom" to mean "to get to stick" as in "First, you glom some bacteria onto a toothpick and then spread them on the agar in this Petri dish." Without documentation, I don't think it would be appropriate for this entry. But perhaps it should be investigated.
 * Well, a quick Google search revealed quite a few instances of the word, including this entry from the Free Online Dictionary. It seems like it's either a back-formation of glob, a misapplication of "glom", or a neologism.

 * I don't find the sense used transitively right away, but it is a very plausible extension of the intransitive sense, which shows up in COCA. It might really be the phrasal verbs glom on and glom onto, I think. DCDuring TALK 16:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Transitive use: I couldn't find support for this, but Rex Stout's Three Men Out says "I glommed her..."--Prosfilaes 07:29, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Webster's New World Dictionary:
 * glom-er-ate Latin Glomerus pp of glomerare, to wind or make into a ball <glomus, sphere, clustered, forming a mass
 * glom-e-rule Latin glomus, glomeris a ball, round knot, compact cluster 971.197.119.17 16:27, 8 April 2013 (UTC))

to Equinox

You removed this:

English
glom-er-ate clustered, formed into a rounded mass

glom-er-ation the act of forming into a rounded mass (ag-glom-eration or con-glom-eration)

glom-er-ule compact cluster, blood cappilaries etc

 * THERE IS NO GLOM in Webster Diktionary

only glom-er-ate, etc

 * Websters dictionary is irrelevant- the word "glom" is widely used by fluent speakers of English (I use it all the time), so we have to have an entry on it. As for glom-er-ate, glom-er-ation, and glom-er-ule, in those cases, "glom" is just a syllable shown as part of illustrating the hyphenation for those words (the actual word element would be glomer- from Latin or, if anything). Our entries are arranged by spelling of the whole word or of meaningful word elements such as prefixes or suffixes. Adding syllables from hyphenation examples to the spellings of those syllables would be ab-so-lute-ly sil-ly. Chuck Entz (talk) 17:24, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

 * In other words, glom is a word in English English, but it is NOT a word (by itself) in American English language ??? (50.173.166.172 18:00, 17 May 2014 (UTC))

 * No, it just means there are some words that Webster hasn't included yet. Webster isn't a perfect god of the language. Equinox ◑ 00:28, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

"glomming" is sometimes used in discussions of syntax
i.e. the formation of compound words. I suppose our given sense of "attach" covers it. Equinox ◑ 18:41, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Evidence for glom = steal
S1 E19 of ‘Prison Break’: “If you want me to glom it for you, you’ve got to do something for me: kill him”. Overlordnat1 (talk) 00:05, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Rfv-senses These need labels, but it also needs to be demonstrated that these would be distinct from 1.3 "to attach". — S URJECTION / T / C / L / 10:01, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) A cluster of heterogeneous things.
 * 2) (transitive) To combine together into a larger mass.
 * Surely it’s etymology 1 verb sense 3 that should be removed with the quotes transferred to the sense at etymology 2. It seems more likely that the etymology for glom = attach is from ‘conglomerate’ than the Scottish ‘glaum’. glom on and glom onto could be deleted and their quotes transferred too.

RFV Failed Ioaxxere (talk) 04:21, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

RFV discussion: February–April 2023
Rfv-of the spelling , used for meaning "to stare". I can only find it as glaum, glawm, and gloom with this sense. Leasnam (talk) 02:28, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

 * To my surprise, I think I can cite glom meaning something in the vein of "to look at" or "to stare" (although it's hard to be sure what exactly it means): Citations:glom. I think both glom and glaum need some cleaning up, though. Ety 2 of glom is currently defined as an alt form of glaum, but if the definition at glaum is accurate ("To look sullen or sad; scowl, frown; look, stare") I discern no trace of looking sullen or sad in the cites of glom, and conversely the senses under ety 1 of glom seems like they are alt forms of ety 1 of glaum. - -sche (discuss) 21:27, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

does this look good to be passed? Ioaxxere (talk) 21:40, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think the RFV issue has been resolved. The main issue left is to figure out how much of glom and glaum can be merged (and one made an alt form), but that's not an RFV issue, and I'll try and deal with it, or someone else can. - -sche (discuss) 03:14, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Internet-block

Internet-block
SoP.—msh210 ℠ 18:50, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

It isn’t the sum of the parts. The sum of the parts could means, for example a physical barrier which prevents a user plugging a computer into a modem. That could also prevent a user accessing the Internet.

An Internet block is a specific type of computer programme. Barbara Shack 19:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Note also that among the first 31 Google Books results for, just one (by Guthrie) seems to be with this meaning, and it has a capitalized initial I. The rest have commas between the words, or the like, or refer to a block of IP addresses. The remaining five Books results are invisible to me.—msh210 ℠ 19:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I've capitalized it and added a hyphen. Is it OK now?Barbara Shack 19:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It still seems to me, at least, to be a SoP. Others will have their say on that issue, and, doubtless, some of the regulars here will disagree with me. As to whether it's attested (which is what the Google Books results are for), we still have only one result (and it has no hyphen, incidentally; I'm not sure why you added one); can you find more? But attestation is an issue for Requests for verification, not here; and if the consensus here is that this term is not a SoP, then I will recommend moving the discussion to that page for an attempt to find attestation.—msh210 ℠ 19:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * This fails just like and for the same reason that virus checker, virus scanner, and spam blocker all fail, they are simply SoP names of types of programs. An internet-block is software which blocks the internet, a virus checker is software which checks for viruses.  There is no information beyond what is contained in the name which requires definition.  -  20:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Move to RFV or delete. If I thought this phrase were real and always had this meaning, I wouldn't be ready to call it SOP, but I don't, so I am. :-) —Ruakh TALK 22:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Move to RfV to see if some orthography for this has the meaning given: roughly, "selective user-computer internet-site blocker". This longer phrase would seem to be SoP. The phrase in question doesn't quite seem that way because it would seem to me to allow for governmental blocking software not installed on user machines, complete blocking of the open internet while allowing access to intranets, etc. Or am I missing something? DCDuring TALK 15:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The way I've used the term, an internet block is not a program, it is a sequential set or IP adresses (usually specified by a mask). RJFJR 19:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:from on high

from on high
= [[from]] + [[on high]]. DCDuring TALK 01:20, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Definitely not, since in Webster's Dictionary (ref in the article) it is written: From high, from on high, from a high place, from an upper region, or from heaven., therefore on is dispensable. Bogorm 16:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

 * That's why we have on high as an entry. It is a set phrase or a relic of an earlier, more general way of constructing meaning. From, as a preposition, can be used with numerous words and phrase, both modern and antiquated. DCDuring TALK 16:28, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, delete, SoP.—msh210 ℠ 07:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No, keep - the fact that both from on high and from high are possible and have a different meaning from the expected, refutes the supposition about "from + on high" and makes me disprove this proposition. Bogorm 11:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The 1828 dictionary entry provides a long list of usage examples with adverbs, like "on high". The multiple forms on the same line are broadly parallel, not definitions of "from on high". They present the long list as an extended usage note for "from". DCDuring TALK 13:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. I'm trying to see Bogorm's POV, but I really think that "from on high" means "from" + "on high". The fact that "from high" means the same thing might (or might not) be an argument for a "from high" entry, but it is not argument for "from on high". (The reference to Webster's confuses me. By my reading, Webster's is glossing "from high" as "from on high, from a high place, from an upper region, or from heaven". I'm not sure why that would be considered an argument for "from on high" but not for "from a high place", "from an upper region", or "from heaven".) —Ruakh TALK 00:53, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong Weak keep since on high is an adverb and cannot be combined in this way under regular grammatical rules. DAVilla 07:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * And why isn't it marked as an adverb? (On high I mean.) DAVilla 07:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I was previously ambivalent about the issue, but DAVilla's argument has swayed me.  --EncycloPetey 02:16, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't understand the substance of the elliptical argument. Is DAVilla saying that from on high is different from from above? Is he saying that "from above" should be an entry? DCDuring TALK 03:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I would say that from above deserves an entry, but we might also need a usage note at from, since it does not follow the usual rules expected of prepositions. The word from can take objects that are adverb/prepositions of direction, and by that I mean the object (when not a noun) must be a word usable as both an adverb and a preposition as well as indicating direction.  That said, not all such combinations with from ought to have entries, since some of them have no truly idiomatic meaning.  DAVilla's argument swayed me, but only because the combined expression is also idiomatic.  Yes, on high as a separate component has the same idiomaticity, but I can't see how to easily explain at the entry for from that it is one of the preposition/adverbs of direction usable with that word. --EncycloPetey 03:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * All of this seems to result from there being no grammatical PoS assigned to "on high", which shows only the "Idioms" header. It would seem to be a noun (like "here" and "above"), rarely used as a subject. DCDuring TALK 11:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Hadn't considered that. I also found "from on board..." common in Google books. Not sure what to make of this right now. DAVilla 04:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Common and ambiguous enough to merit an entry. Think of the foreigners! bd2412 T 17:01, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per DAVilla. In detailed rephrasing of DAVilla's argument: Admittedly, it looks sum-of-partish per the existence of on high. However, by expansion, from "from on high" I get "from in the sky or the heavens", with the extraneous "in" after "from". I would also support the from above entry. --Dan Polansky 10:15, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Kept. Note: I've replaced the definition with, because the definition given was actually a fragment of Webster's gloss for undefined:, and I don't think it's perfectly applicable to from on high:. —Ruakh TALK 21:38, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:quieten down

quieten down
= [[quieten]] [[down]]. Synonym for quiet down. Note also that transitive use "to quiten (something/someone) down" is not defined. DCDuring TALK 18:06, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Huh? What sense of down is this? No, this seems very much like a phrasal verb to me, which we keep. I'm curious to know what Algrif thinks, though.—msh210 ℠  22:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * There are two senses from MWOnline not shown at down that might apply:
 * to or toward a lesser level, degree, or rate (3rd sense of 9)
 * to a state of less activity (7th; less likely).
 * MWOnline has 17 senses, subsenses, and sub-subsenses of down as adverb. We have 5. DCDuring TALK 23:48, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Cambridge dictionaries mark this as a phrasal verb, as do the Collins. They all state that the meaning is equivalent to quieten and that the preferred US usage is quiet and quiet down. I have added to the entry, even though it is still "rfd", BTW. Phrasal verbs with down are difficult to determine, as are phrasals with up. They often have the same meaning (as this example under discussion), but there is a subtle distinction, which makes the teacher in class shout "Quienten down at once!" rather than "Quienten at once!", for instance. It's a bit like why we say "Fill her up", rather than "Fill her", at the petrol station. Possibly it's "degree", the idea of "completeness". -- A LGRIF  talk 11:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Alternative spellings... hardly. They all look like obsolete alternative spellings to me. — Paul G 12:27, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Archaic English is still English, would seem more appropriate. Holyness should be kept with a note next to it, but since the other two are currently red links, they need either creating or removing. I'll work on it. Mglovesfun 10:12, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, they are obsolete spellings. I actually think the header should just be =Spellings=, so we can include obsolete ones (so marked) as well as still-current variations.  Ƿidsiþ 10:53, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't understand how a spelling being both obsolete and alternative outs it in violation of WT:CFI. It might be worth determining whether the spellings are actually from modern English by dating valid attestation citations. OED might be quicker than RfV. DCDuring TALK 10:48, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No use of either after about 1650. OED alone has enough quotations for attestation in Modern English. So the evidence seems to say that they are obsolete alternative spellings. All the spellings seem to have been in use simultaneously from 1500-1650. OED is not so good as a means of determining when the usage ceased.
 * Why do those facts warrant deletion? DCDuring TALK 11:03, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. With b.g.c I can find at least a few modern citations of holyness that aren't quotations from older sources, including a 1940 quote from Ireland.  So, that spelling may not be absent from all modern regional dialects of English, and would certainly be understood.  It's not obsolete, in such a case, although it might be archaic. --EncycloPetey 14:01, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:rate of climb

rate of climb

 * SoP ? -- A LGRIF  talk 12:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Technical term, set phrase. —Stephen 14:25, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

What about [[rate of climb indicator]]?—msh210 ℠  18:34, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Stephen. Has very specific denotation, seeming to meet the fried egg prior knowledge test. -- Visviva 18:03, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * What difference does it make that it is a technical term? Because the set phrase test has not been operationalised, it seems to amount to the opinions of admins, more or less a Vote.
 * How many phrases don't meet some reading of the fried-egg test? That test is so undemanding that we could probably dispense with any other test of idiomaticity. Perhaps the test should be either one- or two-sided polysemy: If one word in a two-word collocation qualifies the other and one/two are polysemic in some context then the collocation is eligible for inclusion in all senses that are attestable.
 * In a sports context and in an aviation context this has different and obvious SoP meanings. I'll bet it has further meanings in geriatrics and in animal behavior, which would be equally obvious in context. DCDuring TALK 19:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * What is the sports meaning? I don't see it in a check of Google News, which is generally a gold-mine for such terms.  The archives do have a handful of hits used in reference to numbers ("the rate of climb in Boeing's stock price", wow that takes me back), but these can readily be understood as metaphorical references to the aviation term.  Regarding technical terms, the fact that it is part of the standard aviation lexicon is both an important fact about usage -- a fact which is a) verifiable and b) cannot be deduced from the sum of parts -- and a very important consideration for translators: any language will have multiple ways of referring to the speed at which something rises, but only one term will be correct for "rate of climb".  It is this last which is most important to Stephen, I think, as his approach to Wiktionary emphasizes its role as a translation resource.  I normally part ways with Stephen on this, but in the case of a term that is as seemingly fixed and important as this one, it is a worthwhile consideration IMO.-- Visviva 12:01, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The concept of rate of climb comes up a lot in flying manuals, accident reports, etc. So? If this were so clearly of lexicographic interest, then one would expect some dictionary or glossary in OneLook to include it. Well, exactly two do so: Wikipedia and Wiktionary. (Perhaps we should automatically include any Wikipedia article title.)

 * Meta: It is only too clear that different Wiktionarians come to widely varying views as to which terms are idiomatic or otherwise worthwhile. I would venture that your judgment is no more or less arbitrary than any of ours; whatever conclusions we as individuals reach will be wrong some percentage of the time.  If the reasonable doubt criterion seems too lax -- and it will certainly let some sinning words go free -- what do you propose in its place?   If we do not err on the side of inclusion, should we then err on the side of deletion, smiting every entry that cannot immediately and positively prove its worth to the project?  Would that not in fact hinder our already-glacially-slow progress toward building a complete dictionary of all languages?  -- Visviva 12:01, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I am very inclusionist on individual words. Multiword headwords are my concern. I look for readily comprehensible rules that are less based on judgment. Else we descend into votes on many entries. If translatability is a criterion, let it be voted and documented. If polysemy of component words is a criterion, let it be voted. If the fried-egg test is central to inclusion, let the test be documented and the limits of its application found. Common law needs to be made comprehensible by simpler statute from time to time to let the younger folks be judges and attorneys. Where are the solons who are willing to face this? DCDuring TALK 12:48, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. This is a set term within the aviation industry, and is the only term used for this meaning. This is one of the attributes that aircraft are compared against each other, and is used as part of the term "rate of climb indicator".  --Dmol 22:25, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * If it is a term specific to an industry or profession, then it should be kept. (I withdraw my SoP request). I believe we have already debated to a conclusion the issue of professional terminology. The problem is that this decision is not reflected in CFI (yet). -- A LGRIF  talk 14:14, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, being a technical term is something that ought to be verifiable, but the evidence is mixed. The one English-English dictionary of aviation that is available for preview on Amazon doesn't have an entry; neither do any of the online glossaries I checked.  Interestingly, said dictionary does have an entry for "rate-of-climb indicator" and also for "rate of yaw".  This is puzzling, as I'm not sure how "rate of yaw" would be any less SOP (to an aviation specialist) than "rate of climb"... On the other hand, the Elsevier English-Russian Dictionary of Civil Aviation does include "rate of climb", along with the importantly non-synonymous term rate climb.  So this would seem to fall into the large category of technical terminology that is mostly useful for translation purposes.   We have yet to entirely straighten out our approach to such terms, but their inclusion in printed bilingual dictionaries is prima facie evidence of inclusionworthiness. See also our online competitors: LEO, Naver et al. -- Visviva 05:29, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Quel dommage... The word looks so foreign for the French language. I hoped that it will be deleted. Bogorm 22:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Not if it's attestable. (Unless the Académie Française bribes us enough.) However, I'm only challenging this word in English. Equinox ◑ 23:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The French Scrabble dictionary lists this as the plural of superwoman. Mglovesfun 23:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Maybe it can be justified as a French entry, but there should be no English entry for this term. -- WikiPedant 06:30, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

This either does not exist or is vanishingly rare in English (I wager that most if not all uses on UseNet will be possessive forms sans the apostrophë). After filtering out five legitimate close relations thereof, Google Book Search yields nine hits for undefined:, of those, three are English, one of which is restricted content, another proscribes it, whilst the third cannot be visually verified (the snippet in the hits-screen being “Back Extensions Superwomans 1. Rest on your hands and knees on the floor. 2. Exhale as you extend your right arm and left leg simultaneously […]”, which is probably a use in a title, otherwise, it is incompræhensible). It looks like it probably is used in French, though I’d guess that it’s non-standard therein. So, in conclusion, delete this inextant English malformation. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 06:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Deleted English entry per Doremitzwr's research. --Jackofclubs 19:05, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

"may"
The syllable เม definitely does not sound like "may," with the typical U.S. diphthong; it sounds like Latin "me." I would strongly recommend replacing "may" with "me" in the transliteration. 24.29.228.33 16:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

 * That would be mixing two different styles of transliteration. It’s okay if you prefer a different style, but you need to go through and transliterate all the words the same way. Royal Thai is a popular system and you might prefer that one; however, it ignores Thai tones. —Stephen 20:10, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

soccer player, baseball player, basketball player, tennis player

SoP. If not, we would expect to have one of these entries for every sport, which is sheer insanity. P.S. I realise they may translate to single words in other languages, but that doesn't force the existence of English entries; the translations from those other languages need only be broken into multiple links. Equinox ◑ 22:46, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Basketball player and tennis player have previously passed RFD, on the basis that in common use they refer specifically to a professional player of the sport. The same reasoning would presumably apply to soccer player and baseball player. I am slightly less convinced of this reasoning than I was the last time around, but still don't see any pressing need to delete; the set of entries to which this argument applies is quite small. -- Visviva 04:42, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. As Visviva has noted, we've been through this discussion twice before (at least).  Without new reasoning or a change in policy, there is no need to go through this discussion again. --EncycloPetey 16:30, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
