露西亜

Etymology
Borrowing from.

The spelling is, adopted in 1877 after diplomatic pressure from Russia to change from the previous spelling, out of concern that the initial  character expressed a sense of. However, the character was chosen for its sense of, from the political metaphor that the morning dew will disappear as the sun rises, wherein "sun" refers to Japan.

The use of for the latter portion is likely influenced by 🇨🇬 phonetics, and historical use of these characters to spell out the -siya portion of Rossiya in sources such as a bible translated into Chinese in 1864.

Give me some time to finish the entry. I was working on it when you deleted it. That is what I call being a hoser!

I have added citations to me entry. If more are needed I will do so. Please let me know instead of just tossing it.

 * The citations you have placed in the citations tab do not qualify under our policies. In short, three examples of use of the word in a durably archived source (e.g. a book) need to be found.  The Art direction one does not include the actual quote.  The UNC Daily quote does not match any of the definitions given.  The Colossal Book of Mathematic suffers from both of the previous issues.  The final bit is not the kind of thing which goes in the citations space at all.  I have deleted the entry yet again, but have left the citations tab.  If you can get that up to speed the entry will be restored.

I think that some of the etymology sections are a bit redundant here. I realize that there is a lot happening and do concede the need for multiple etymology sections. However, I think that one per construction would be enough (i.e. there should not be two etymology sections which say "piel of" the same root.) So, for example, the obsolete verse final form should be noted in the first etymology section, in my opinion. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 18:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ideally, each construction (paal, piel, etc.) would have its own Etymology section, and that's it. (Well, usually. Exceptions might be made for verbs like כבד, which means both "sweep" and "honor" in the same construction (piel), and, I'm guessing, has two different etymologies.) But that's ideally. Practically, it's not a good solution, as we have no other ELE-compliant way of splitting up different spellings-with-vowels of the same spelling-without-vowels word. Since, of the ten words listed currently under different etymologies on this page, no two have the same spelling-with-vowels, there is simply no way to split them up except to list them under different Etymology headers. (Well, another ELE-compliant way would be to have them on separate pages, of course, but that's not the convention here.) I'd love to hear other solutions, and they'll have a wider audience at Wiktionary talk:About Hebrew.—msh210 ℠ 18:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

غين ختل
Why did you remove the content from this page? Nadando 20:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Transliteration did not match and I've not heard this term before; غین is also not in any of the 3 Pashto dictionaries that I have

 * Being a vulgar term, it may not be in common dictionaries. ختل is a Pashto verb that means to climb, to mount, so you should attempt to see whether there is a slang meaning of غين, aside from the common noun sense. You might go to Wikipedia and try to find a native Pashtun and ask him. —Stephen 21:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Formatting
When you use the template, you should add the term "sc=ps-Arab". This will make it look better. For example: ختل —Stephen 21:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Can you edit one of the articles with 'sc=ps-Arab' in the right place so I can use that as a template? I don't wanna destroy anything!

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own.

This is not Wikipedia; it is run in a very different manner, and assuming similarity may get you blocked for causing disruption. This has happened too frequently in the past, which leads to a (possibly unfair) prejudice about your motives and actions here. You should note particularly that being bold is not encouraged where it goes against any of our policies or against the community consensus, which is generally strong. Changing policy pages on Wiktionary is very strongly discouraged: if you think something needs changing discuss it at WT:BP, following which we may formally vote on the issue.

Our two main policy documents are Entry layout explained ("ELE") and Criteria for inclusion ("CFI"). ELE describes our standard layout; unlike on Wikipedia, all entries must follow this layout, even if they are not yet complete. (You can get a feel for our standard layout by looking at existing entries.) CFI describes what is allowed in the dictionary, and disallows (for example) most names of specific persons or places. We generally follow ELE and CFI closely.

An easy way to create a properly formatted entry is to use one of our article templates: type the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hit 'Go', and you'll see links to the templates. If you do create a couple of entries that are not properly formatted, someone will be glad to clean up after you. But if you do it repeatedly, you might get blocked as a temporary measure to give you a chance to read ELE.

Some other differences between us and English Wikipedia:
 * Entry titles are case-sensitive and do not have their first letters capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized. So we have mercury for the substance and Mercury for the planet and the god. (We do not use parentheses in titles: there's no Mercury (planet).)
 * We just want definitions of words, not long-winded explanations worthy of Wikipedia.
 * Wiktionary has very different user-space policies from Wikipedia's. We are here to build a dictionary, and userpages exist only to facilitate that. In particular, we have voted to explicitly ban all userboxes with the exception of ; please do not create or use them.
 * Other policies, including on, blocks, and redirects, are very different from English Wikipedia's. And we have no counterpart to Wikipedia's three-revert rule.
 * Various templates and shortcuts that you're used to using do not exist here, or have different names. For example, don't try to use   to refer to a template! ( will do the trick.)

Also, a "citation" on Wiktionary is the same as a "quotation" and is evidence of a word being used; we use these to construct dictionary definitions. See WT:QUOTE. A "reference", on the other hand, which is called a "citation" on Wikipedia, references another secondary source, such as a dictionary, and is used predominantly for verifying etymologies and usage notes, not the definitions themselves. (This is largely so that we don't fall into the trap of adding "list words", words that, while often defined, are never used in practice.)

I hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary. If you have any questions, then see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my talk page.—msh210 ℠ 21:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

promunturium

Etymology
. The first element can be identified as the prefix. Although the end of the word resembles the suffix, the spelling with -torium seems to postdate that with -turium, and the word scans in Ovid Metamorphoses 15.709 as prōmuntŭrĭumque (per Müller, who rejects the alternative of reading this line with synizesis as prōmuntūr.jumque ).

The second element is typically considered to be. The /u/ could have developed by vowel reduction (which was a regular sound change in non-initial syllables); alternatively, the variation between /o/ and /u/ in this word could be akin to that seen in some other words before a nasal in a closed syllable (even a word-initial syllable) such as /. Lewis and Short (1879) and Gaffiot (1934) favor a derivation from (ultimately derived, like, from  ); however, Ernout and Meillet (1985) consider this difficult. De Vaan, noting that -tōrium is typically affixed to verb bases, proposes an alternative etymology from via contraction of *prōmonetōriom, with the idea that a word meaning "warner" might be used to refer to a "'signpost' in the landscape".

Wiktionary talk:Thesaurus/Improvements 1

Structure too much like Wiktionary
I strongly disagree with the basic duplication of Wiktionary's structure. Instead of doing something different, this seems to repeat the word-centered structure that Wiktionary already has. I thought the essence of a thesaurus was that a user who was looking for synonyms or antonyms had a large pool of choices, preferrably graded in some number of dimensions. I would have thought that the multiple senses of the word that brought the person to a thesaurus ("I'm looking for something like the adjective 'manifold'.") would be irrelevant from that point on. (If they were relevant, then they would be available with one or two hits of the back button, anyway.) What Wiktionary is unlikely to have are:
 * 1) a complete list of synonyms (too many for many concepts, too hard for definers to do)
 * 2) a discussion of grades of meaning of synonyms (rarely appearing in Usage notes, at present).

I would be impressed it Wikisaurus had a good color-word map, to mention one specific easy-to-conceptualize area for "grading". Similarly for shape words, emotion words, container words, clothing words, tool words, fastener words, material words, .... DCDuring TALK 07:45, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I see no duplication of the wiktionary structure. What is repeated?  The sense is totally irrelivent from that point on.  Oh! Wait!  I think I know the problem.  You were only looking at a shell.  Here is an actual example of that shell created for a complex word. Take a look at sound.  68.27.76.92 09:11, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * What is see there is a subset of what a normal Wiktionary entry is supposed to have: a gloss for each sense and a list of synonyms for each gloss. I see no value added other than editing away all the other material that Wiktionary has to that, if someone only wants what is there, there's less clutter. It's just a parallel, but diminished universe. Saurus should not have to limit itself to this status. DCDuring TALK 11:36, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * If 'Saurus is to do something different that adds value for users beyond the very limited value of a new presentation of information already in Wiktionary, there needs to be a structure focused on concepts. The headword for a concept should be a word (if possible) that has no common meaning other that the meaning of the concept. If that is not possible than a set of words each of which has a definition that defines the concept or, possibly, a phrase. Instead of having book be a 'Saurus entry, there could be an entry for the concepts characterized by "work by an author or editor": (novel, collection, script, drama, screenplay, manuscript, diary, webpage, instruction manual, feature film, etc.); "bound paper": (tome, volume, notebook); "knowledge in a field": (lore, expertise, etc.); "official record": (acta, accounts, minutes, etc.), and other meanings. This would enable users to see related concepts not very visible from a Wiktionary entry, which is intrincally limited to a unit defined solely by orthography. DCDuring TALK 11:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * What does gloss mean? What do you mean by headword?  What you describe still sounds exactly like what I have displayed.   I think I may be just thick headed because  I truly see no difference at all! Amina (sack36) 09:38, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Headword is the page name. Gloss is a definition or a shortened version of a definition. "Book (noun)" has several glosses. What I'm trying to say is that there might be no 'Saurus page named "book", that there would be links from book to several different pages of synonyms. I am trying to let Wiktionary keep the existing synonyms sections and have 'Saurus supplement them and do something more. Does that help? DCDuring TALK 10:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Ok, I'm starting to understand a bit now. What I am hearing is that you really want to leave the thesaurus function in the dictionary and move one of the dictionary functions into the wikisaurus pages? What kind of supplements do you have in mind?   Amina (sack36) 21:38, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I just reread what you said earlier and realized you already tried to answer the kind of supplement issue and I didn't understand. Can you give me an example of what you're trying to do? Amina (sack36) 21:42, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm not volunteering to do it. What I'm saying is that each Wikisaurus page should be a list of synonyms. The name of the page should be a word whose only common meaning is the common meaning of the synonyms. Thus, a polysemic word like head might well not have its own Wikisaurus page. It like the idea of a discussion of the shades of meaning. I'm not sure about having multiple parts of speech on the same page (except adjectives and adverbs).
 * When I look at a print thesaurus, I see lists of synonyms. That is what needs to be achieved first as a basis for other things. I am not looking to subtract anything from Wiktionary, including lists of synonyms. Wikisaurus should be more comprehensive and follow the different model Roget has set out. The integration between Wiktionary and Wikisaurus means that full definitions are only a click away from Wikisaurus and full annotated lists of synonyms are only a click away from Wiktionary.
 * When I looked at a sample Wikisaurus entry for sound, I saw all of the diverse senses of sound, each of which had a list of synonyms, which list would be duplicated in the 'Saurus entries for each of the synonyms. A Wiktionary page allows someone to select one of the many meaning of a word. A Saurus page should enable one to select one word from the pool of synonyms for a concept. DCDuring TALK 23:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I could also imagine that Wikisaurus could include phrases that would not meet WT:CFI because of attestation problems or because a phrase was not "idiomatic". DCDuring TALK 23:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Specifics of the new system

 * I can see how Wiktionary could take care of pointing people to a given segment of meaning such as fat(obese) fat(grease) fat(file action transfer). I just don't see the purpose in doing that. Wiktionary is for defining the word.  It's function is to list the different meanings given to a word.

 * I try to think of how the user gets to a page in Wiktionary or Wikisaurus. What was she looking for? I am always especially concerned with the anon users and low-volume users because they are the easiest ones to lose. How will somebody use Wiktionary to find a word?

They might well look up a word like the word that they really want, based on their experience that dictionaries have synonyms. Then maybe they realize that fat has a lot of meanings, then they find the synonyms and wish there were more. click they're in Wikisaurus and they may come to appreciate the range of choices that exist for some meanings. Perhaps they don't understand the differences in shaded of meaning. Perhaps they would like to compare shades of meaning. That is my imaginary user case.

I know there must be other models and could probably come up with some of them if I thought about for a while, but it's a place to start. My answers to your questions are mostly premised on this user case. I am assuming that Wikisaurus does not have its own user base initially, thugh it will probably develop one over time. You might find it a useful exercise to try to be explicit about your assumed user model, which might be very different. It would be interesting to expose some user models to the thoughts of others. DCDuring TALK 04:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Here is a list of questions I can't find answers to.

Parts of Speech
What is the purpose of having different pages for different parts of speech? (sack36) It would be nice to avoid the trap of assuming a seeker's purpose, so let's stick with it all on the same page. That way, sound (noun) and sound (verb) don't have to be rerouted by the user. (ie. Wiktionary puts all the meanings together for a reason.) Amina (sack36) 04:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This might not be essential, especially because words float across PoS so easily and certainly if they get a helping hand from a suffix. I'd just like to leave room for discussion of shades of meaning. What's on the same page is not as important as what is on the same screen. Links to different pages are in some ways more flexible than page-down page-up (though same-page section links are available too. (DCDuring)

Roget's: How and Why?
How would we follow the original Roget model, and why ? (sack36) To add value to wiktionary you have to remove some of the peripheral complexities so that your average person will want to use it as a dictionary. I understand the thesaurus model, though I can't figure out how to make it work here, but I don't know what you mean by usage-book.
 * I like the idea of semantic buckets, but it seems clear that the buckets leak and you need to add new ones fairly regularly. The why is because to add value to Wiktionary you have to do something different from what Wiktionary does, but that users undertand how to use. The thesaurus model and the usage-book models are the only obvious alternatives to the dictionary model. The word orientation of Wiktionary has some real disadvantages from a user perspective should the user want to compare meanings across words. (DCDuring)

The fact is, I seem to be asking for the definitions of your terms more than I've been able to discuss the matter at hand. If you could "dumb it down" for me I would appreciate it. My expertise is in teaching technophobes how to run computers so I'm not much up on English major speak. We'd get a great deal more done if you thought of me as an Art major trying to talk English major concepts without knowing the lingo. Amina (sack36) 04:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Synonyms vs Concepts
How is the selection of synonyms from a concept different than the list of concepts that they can click on to get to a pool of synonyms? (sack36) Could you elucidate? I don't catch your meaning here. Amina (sack36) 04:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The selection that I have in mind is a writer's choice among alternatives that are visible on a page that explains differences. (DCDuring)

Definitions a click away
In my model, for any given headword the full definitions are only a click away from Wikisaurus and full lists of synonyms are only a click away from Wiktionary. (annotation is not necessary, it is part of Wiktionary) (sack36) I've been conducting an impromptu survey in my neighborhood: "Why would you use a Thesaurus?" Not a single person so far has said they use it to find a word nuance. They have all said they know the word they want, but they just can't remember it. In my use of a thesaurus I must admit I'm more versatile. I look for a word I want, yes, but it is often several FULL meanings away from the one I can think of. eg. look up "purse" to get the word "sow". Not the best of examples, but it is the kind of thing I'd come up with. Nothing short of a walk through a Roget's or the model I espouse (or Wikipedia possibly) would get me in the ballpark. What I'd love to see is a mouseover capability such that the nuance would show when the word is pointed at and the wikisaurus page for that word would come up when clicked. (I'm researching a mouseover capability even as we type) We would still have the click-back to wiktionary via the head-word. Without the ability to go from one wikisaurus word to another I don't see how you could ever make wikisaurus into a useful thesaurus. Amina (sack36) 04:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe that the nuances are not always so clear. In particular I believe that the cognitive load on a user of clicking from synonym page to def 1 page, back to synonym page, to def 2 page, back to synonym page, to def 3 page, remembering what was found a def 1 page and def 2 page is too much. That is what would be nice to eliminate. Paging up and down is easier and perhaps show/hide can be used to allow a user to readily compare only words that seem close to what he wants. DCDuring TALK 04:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Mouseover came through and looks like this

Placement of this page
This page should better be merged with Wikisaurus/improvements or at least discontinued. The page title suggests that this page is a subpage of the Wikisaurus entry for "project", which stands for the word "project" in Wikisaurus, not for the Wikisaurus project. --Dan Polansky 15:37, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I propose the page is moved back to Wikisaurus/improvements/archive of Project - Improving WikiSaurus, from where it has been moved to the current name by Amina (Sack36). But I cannot do it myself, having no rights to move this page to an already existing page. --Dan Polansky 15:43, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I have moved the page to "Wiktionary:Wikisaurus/improvements/archive"; that at least semantically matches the original title. --Dan Polansky 08:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Revert
I have reverted this edit, since it is unclear why you chose to delete those derived terms. A simple search of Google books turns up more than 100 uses of undivining. --EncycloPetey 08:04, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand why. 100 Results in Google, many of which are redundant instances, do not validate the legitimacy or substantiveness of a given word. It's sheer preposterousness.
 * Not in Google, in Google Books, a search of published printed books that have been uploaded into Google's database. That's at least one hundred print the use the term.  Please see WT:CFI (criteria for inclusion), which states (amon other things) that English terms with a minimum of three independent citations in durably archived media (such as printed, published books) merit inclusion as an entry.  --EncycloPetey 16:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Page format
Note some of the changes I made to the page format for combinative. These are standard for Wiktionary format: (1) Synonyms, Antonyms, Related terms, and the link are indented under the part of speech section, (2) Headers with more than one word (like Relative terms) have only the initial letter capitalized, (3) Synonyms and Antonyms must be paired with a particular definition. I have done this for the Synonyms to show you how this looks, but have not done the Antonyms. --EncycloPetey 04:34, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Reminder: Synonyms and Antonyms are always ina single row separated by commas, even if the page currently has only one definition. Our general guide for page layout is WT:ELE, but if it seems rather daunting, you may refer to listen and parrot as examples demonstrating proper format. --EncycloPetey 03:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, the basic order and structure for entries does not change. There are some oddball exceptions, but you shouldn't have to worry about them. (words with more than one etymology, or words where the pronunciation affects the meaning, like predicate) --EncycloPetey 03:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called M0thr4. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name M0thr4~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:56, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

hinder
Could you check, fix, cleanup, etc. both etymologies of hinder? This word is an upcoming WOTD, and I'd like it to be a model page as well. So, please, make the etymologies sparkle as much as you can. Watch out for edit conflicts, though, since I'll be asking folks to help add/check translations. --EncycloPetey 19:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there actually a "more hinder" or "most hinder" form? That seems counterintuitive given the word's etymology. --EncycloPetey 20:07, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it's OK, that happens quite often - the etymology gets forgotten. The most famous example is near, which etymologically is "more nigh", but nearer still exists. I mean I haven't really checked or anything. Widsith 20:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * But even for hind, the superlative is hindmost rather than "most hind". Same for rear (rearmost). --EncycloPetey 20:20, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

re: Trépigner
I always work on French definitions the same way I work on English ones, and so I rarely work them as if they were glosses to begin with, because in many, many cases, the meanings do not fully matches (I mentioned it at the Beer Parlour not so long ago), and I believe here trépigner does not readily matches many English words. Most definitions in English also are not "full sentences", but I always capitalize and period them, if only because that's the way the word of the day is presented on the main page, which makes for a pretty strong case in my opinion.

 * Agreed. However, I think that, in general, outdated is better than nothing.  If we do get bots to write entries for us, they will certainly note the entries as outdated an in need of human care.  It would give our editors something to look at at least, until we get around to dealing with them personally.  Many thanks.  Atelaes 10:49, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Spelling differences of opinion
Hi there,

I've seen you say here-and-there things to the effect of "spelling represents the pronunciation" which I disagree with. That is to say, genuine misspellings do exist. And wide ranges of usage guides do proscribe certain spellings in deference to the "correct" spelling.

Unfortunately, today I ran across the opposite problem, where a word is consistently pronounced a certain way is in direct conflict with the prescribed spelling. I have never heard that word pronounced the way our audio file currently has it (despite it matching m-w.com, and AHD.) I'm not sure what the best way to handle it, is. The possibility exists, that I'm way off base - and the word I pronounce that way is a completely different word that coincidentally shares the exact same meaning.

Could you please comment at talk:disingenuous?

Tocharian
Tocharian script unfortunately is not present or Unicode, nor have I seen any proposals announcing it's soon presence. One day, when Unicode starts supporting it, all those entries should be tagged with  . A lot of ancient scripts have been added to the Unicode standard over the last few versions (5.1 coming in March will support 3 more obscure scripts for IE languages of Anatolian branch ^_^), so certainly there is a potential for it's inclusion in the long term. Unicode 5.2 will hopefully even support Avestan and Egyptian hieroglyphs! Generally I think the only two cases when some sort of "transcription" Latin script is supposed to be used on wiktionary is for 1) languages that don't have their own native script encoded in Unicode 2) Languages that have no original writing in some sort of their native script, but were recorded by non-native speakers or their speakers where completely illiterate (the case of Crimean Gothic and Polabian and I presume some Aboriginal languages of Australia too). --Ivan Štambuk 23:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Spanish templates muddle
Hi. I wonder if you can help. I cannot find the correct template format for the entry tropecientos. It needs to show m and f forms, but plural only. I can't remember how to do it, and the template page is worse than useless! Cheers -- Algrif 18:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

That would be for Lao script, right? If so, it would be good to redirect to since that appears to be ISO 15924 code for Lao script. Most other scripts inside Category:Script templates follow the same rule, when ISO code for script already exists. Cheers! --Ivan Štambuk 13:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Tamazight
Hello, I was going through User:Robert Ullmann/L2/invalid and I noticed a bunch of entries with the L2 Tamazight. A preliminary investigation reveals that you are the primary editor for a number of these entries, and I was wondering what your thoughts on the matter are. It seems to like we should do one of two things: Probably the best option is to simply rename these entries as Berber, as this seems to be the more common name, preferred by Wikipedia and SIL. Otherwise, we could change to Tamazight. However, the issue is complicated a bit by the fact that, while 639-2 simply has ber, 639-3 has tzm, tjo, and tia. So, if you know which division of Berber these words belong to, we should create the language templates for them, and change the L2's accordingly. However, it appears that the language division is a currently a matter of contention, so........ Your thoughts? -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 19:11, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Hiya, the problem (as I understand it) is this. "Tamazight" is the name often used now for the whole continuum of Berber languages (code ber), but it's also the name of a specific dialect spoken in Morocco (code tzm).  The sources I used for the entries here were from books I bought in Morocco, and frankly I was not entirely sure in which sense they are using the term "Tamazight".  It seems likely to me though that the Morocco Tamazight dialect was the basis for them, because that's being used as a standard when it's taught in Moroccan schools etc.  I hope this is some help...  Widsith 10:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Interesting. Well, tzm does indeed seem appropriate for what you've entered, and SIL titles this language as "Central Atlas Tamazight," which would seem to alleviate some of the confusion between this particular language and the Berber languages/Tamazight in general.  So, I've created .  Please take a look, and if it is acceptable to you, I'll go through all the entries currently labeled "Tamazight" and change them to "Central Atlas Tamazight."  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 20:45, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

gebed
Hi Widsith,

I know little about Old English, but cannot help being amazed at the close connection with my mothertongue (Dutch). I am added some stuff to gebed and I wonder about two things.
 * 1) In the southern, (Limburgian/Flemish) pronunciation the initial g is pronounced as [ʝ] a voiced palatal fricative (like a blow voiced version of [j]). Is there any chance that the dotted g was something like that before it became the y of yester and yore?
 * 2) In Dutch the vowel of the singular and the plural are different (ɛ/e) and that is pretty systematic for this type of verbal noun if it stems from a strong verb. (It also holds for the dative, e.g. ten gebede.) Was there a vowel change in Old English?

martín pescador
Hi again. I didn't split this in 2 words because I'm not sure that martín on it's own exists. The only other I can find is martín del río, which is not normally referred to as simply martín AFAIK. Correct me if I'm wrong. Ciao4now. -- Algrif 14:30, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * That would give the wrong idea about the name. A lot of people would assume that it is related to the English martin bird family. It's not a big deal, but that sort of thing is really etymology. I'd still prefer leaving it as it was. -- Algrif 14:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Interestingly the Italian is martin pescatore - and the same situation arises, in that "martin" by itself doesn't mean anything. SemperBlotto 14:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * And also French martin-pêcheur. They all seem to be linked to the personal name Martin, although noone seems to know why.  This is also the source of English martin, although obviously that now indicates a different bird altogether.  Widsith 14:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Chymist/Chemist
I see you deleted my additions to the definition of chemist as an alchemist, particularily one who believed in the doctrine of the three principles of Salt, Sulphur, and Mercury

While I admit to knowing little on the topic, I have been adding the Sceptical Chymist to Wikisource, and while in it are passages where he can be interpreted as using the term to discribe alchemists and alchemy in general, he equally uses the term to distinguish those who believe in the tria prima, based on the teachings of Paracelsus, from those who believe in the four elements (earth, wind, fire, water), based on the teachings of Aristotle (see the passage on chymist from the novel, which is part of a speach deriding the group, delivered by an Aristotelian, also an alchemist in the modern sense of the term).

According to the chemist definition, the term first appeared shortly after the death of Paracelsus, and so is consistant with being associated with his followers. Merriam Webster dates alchemist to the 15th century, which was close to the time of Paracelsus (early 16th century). My guess is (and it is just a guess and is very likely completely wrong) is that the word (alchemist/alchemy) entered the language, the shortened form of which became associated particularily with the philosophy of Paracelsus, and later, following Boyle's use of the term, with modern chemistry.

Regardless of conjecture, Chymist is used in the book to refer to a particular breed of alchemist, and not simply alchemists in general.--T. Mazzei 18:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi. Boyle was trying to draw a distinction not between different kinds of alchemists, but between what he saw as "modern" chemists, who saw matter as composed of four basic elements, and "old-fashioned" chemists (ie what we would call alchemists) who preferred to think in Paracelsian terms of three elements.  Now he may distinguish different types of alchemist, but that does not mean that the word chemist (or chymist) ever had that specific meaning to anyone but Boyle.  Hundreds of writers used the word meaning only "alchemist".  Boyle may use it in a more specific sense, but that does not in itself change the inherent meaning: every writer defines their terms to a certain extent.  If you can show that other writers used the word with the specific sense you suggest, then you might have a case.  I am pleased you added the citations though, because he is obviously an important writer in this area, and in general we have too few cites from this period.  PS, if MW dates alchemist to the 15th century it's wrong - the word isn't attested until 1514 (though it's still earlier than chemist).  Keep up the good work!  Widsith 08:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The 1514 date would, I believe, make it contemporary with Paracelsus, strengthening the link. You got your "modern" and "old-fashioned" chemists mixed up.  I agree he is distinguishing between these two types.  What Boyle is actually trying to show in his book is that neither the antienter view of the Peripatetics of the world constisting of four elements, nor the more current view, based on the teachings of Paracelsus, of the world consisting of three principles was satisfactory to the discription of what made up mixt bodies.  Now if a chymist was the same as an alchemist, I would think that a chymist could hold either view, but Boyle speaks of the "Chymical Doctrine" vs the "Peripatetick Doctrine".  Now, Boyle could very well have been using the word differently than his contemperaries, but if so he makes no attempt to clarify.  By the way, what is the policy for words that have been redefined by a single person (or small group)?  As to hundreds of writers using "chemist" as "alchemist" in the general sense, it may be that (1) apon closer inspection they are talking about the same subset as Boyle, or (2) the meaning of the word shifted to become more (or less) encompassing as the distinction above became less (or more) important, or (3) it always had a general and specific meaning, like say Xerox, or Kleenex.--T. Mazzei 18:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello Widsith -- I've long admired your editing here, but am wondering about this one. Are these really 2 distinct etymologies? Don't both the nominal and adjectival senses go right back to the same Latin root? -- WikiPedant 21:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes! Though by slightly different routes.  Sometimes it is easier to put them under different headings and sometimes not; in this case I'm sure it would be possible to explain it fairly simply under one Etymology heading if that's what you'd prefer.  Cheers, Widsith 21:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Hello Widsith -- The OED supports this etymological distinction, but it has separate entries for the noun and the adjective. With a single, combined entry like ours, I'm inclined to think that the extra headings and levels add more visual clutter to the entry than the payback is worth.  However, I'll hedge a bit.  My feelings about the matter are far from overpowering.  I won't try to change it.  -- WikiPedant 04:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Most often, for words where the noun and adjective have the same or similar Latin spelling, the noun developed as a substantive use of the adjective, so the connection as a single term would have been understood. In cases like that, I agree with you that merging etymologies make sense. --EncycloPetey 01:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Widsith, thanks for procrastinating long enough to add an etymology and pronunciation to my verb entry. I recently started doing French translations for pay, and am coming to rely on Wiktionary for verb conjugations to some extent. As I've needed entries, I've cautiously added a couple of new ones, learning as I go along. Yesterday, I also started adding more shades of definition to entries that are sparse. Hopefully, I can be helpful to the community in this way. The Babylon Larousse I subscribe to doesn't have etymologies. If there's a way for me to pick them up, I'd be happy to add them. I looked at the IPA chart, I doubt if I'm qualified to add pronunciations yet. Is there a way to automatically generate them?

Best regards, Ellenfalls 19:04, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

 * No problem, we look forward to your further contributions! Some information on French etymology can be found in the Trésor de la Langue Française.  Most words come from Latin of course, but you need to be careful to make clear when it is a borrowing.  As for pronunciation, Wikipedia has a useful page at French phonology if you want to find out more.  If you are working a lot with French, I highly recommend Peter Rickard's small but excellent book A History of the French Language, which is a great introduction to where French words came from and how the sounds have changed.

Conform to our odd lemmata!
Remember, Ancient Greek and Latin lemmata of verbs are the indicative 1st singular, not infinitive. *wags finger* -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 22:27, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is I don't usually know what the indicative 1st person singular is, since all my reference books use infinitives as lemmata. All right, I can usually work it out for Latin, but I just don't know enough Greek.  So it's not so much having infinitives over 1st-person forms, as whether you'd rather have infinitives or nothing.  Widsith 09:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

The difference
with æ and a? O_o

and also, for estuary english, are we th-fronting the pronunciation guides?

additionally, what is the estuary english for "all", and what is the vowel in it that makes it sound like "school", and contains the same vowel as in the second half of the diphthong in "bowl". Sorry to ask these questions, but I am becoming more and more confused, and I don't want to make a mistake. Nwspel 22:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * [æ] sounds like to most modern UK ears.  Steve Bell, the Guardian cartoonist, actually writes As as Es when he's doing dialogue by the Royals, to represent this "posh speech".  Imagine a toff from the 50s saying "Good Lord!  I like your het, what!"  The OED have stopped using [æ] (and so have I and some others, although it still exists in many UK pronunciations on Wiktionary, so we are in a bit of flux about this one right now).  [a] is pretty simple, it is a more open sound and basically it is the sound everyone uses in England now to say man, hat etc.
 * If you are confused by all this, I suggest you wait a little while before working on pronunciations too much. Native speakers can easily get subconsciously thrown by orthography, eg many Spanish-speakers swear they can hear a difference between B and V (which are both /b/).  And diphthongs are notoriously hard to interpret.  If you are hearing similarities between all and school, you are probably realizing  as  and  as  (both common phenomena in London/SE but not UK-wide) which makes them much closer together, and makes me wonder if you are from Bromley!

I am interested in your thoughts about the aesthetics of presenting countable and uncountable senses for nouns like this. I have been showing uncountable and countable on the inflection line and on each sense line. You chose to omit countable tab for the one sense and not to show uncountability/countability on the inflection line. Is it the esthetics and overemphasis on this phenomenon that leads you to the presentation you prefer? DCDuring TALK 15:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Err...well, often I assume that countability is "default", and only bother to mark up uncountable senses. But it depends on the word.  Sometimes I think having a countability label on every line can look a bit busy, that's all.  Widsith 16:26, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
