Talk:season finale

season finale
Sum of parts, not idiomatic, completely compositional. --Connel MacKenzie 11:14, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - This term is not used in the UK. --EncycloPetey 15:51, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete If you know what sense of season is being discussed, the term seems unambiguosly SoP. DCDuring 01:31, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep as non-compositional (at least dubiously compositional). Finale, as currently defined, does not mean "final episode" or "final show"; rather, it means the dramatic end of a performance.  Thus as SOP "season finale" ought to refer to the end of the season, which could be just part of the final episode or could be a story-line spread over multiple episodes.  But as actually used, this term has a much more precise meaning.  -- Visviva 06:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Is that meaning actually in the definition that we have? The definition just looks like a discussion of who has the most to gain from combining the words in the absolutely to-be-expected way. DCDuring 11:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It's defined as "final episode of a season." Since finale is not currently defined as "final episode," this does not appear to be sum of parts. -- Visviva 13:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point, Visviva 13:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC). Keep (and "series finale").—msh210 ℠ 17:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, because you have to know which of the many senses of season is being dicussed for this to make sense. Cheers! bd2412 T 20:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I had no idea what it meant until I looked it up. I thought it was sports related.--Dmol 17:53, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The difference is that you can go to the store and buy a "Snowball" (generic noun), while Shredder (above) is a proper noun referring to specific entities.

 * 1) 2007, Jude Barnes, Missing The Laughter, p. 39:

 * [We] thought he was going to get up from the table and get some Pepto-Bismol and not worry about his breakfast because we had certainly ruined his digestion.

Restored. This is still on RFD. I would RFV the color sense if anyone would contest its removal. It seems it would only be used attributively with "pink", and still refers to the medication. DAVilla 16:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I would question its inclusion. That's an example of a noun being used in its attributive capacity, not an adjective.  It does not require a separate section or definition any more than sky in sky blue or firetruck in firetruck red.  It's merely a standard grammatical use of a noun for one of its attributes rather than the whole item, and this is a standard practice in English. --EncycloPetey 19:22, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a noun used outside of any context by multiple writers on the presumption that everyone know what it means. bd2412 T 15:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Colour
"Pepto-Bismol colored housing developments" does not seem to support the sense of a colour, any more than "dung-coloured" supports dung being a colour. Equinox ◑ 19:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Couldn't agree with you more. DCDuring TALK 20:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

RFV (shade of pink)
RfV for sole noun sense: "A particular shade of pink associated with said medicine." I don't think that "Pepto-Bismol-hued" or "-colored" counts as evidence. The word would have to be used perhaps attributively in something like "the/a Pepto-Bismol car/room/chair/blouse" or as a stand-alone noun where the branded product itself was clearly not the referent.

I think the citations in the entry under the proper noun PoS meet WT:BRAND. DCDuring TALK 19:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

OK, this one is looking good to pass CFI on the strength of the usage shown here, but I'm more concerned with the floodgates opening and someone dumping them all in here, regional variations and all. Will we stick with the same CFI rules, 3 archived cites for them.--Dmol 21:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The rules rule, but can change. Note that this code is for murder and is from the most populous US state, and one with a large entertainment industry, including writer population. I wouldn't expect too many of these and promise not to look for them. DCDuring 23:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I have inserted the above five cites into entry. Pray for Death is a self-published novel. Does that matter for this purpose? DCDuring 20:19, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

 * An OT note on this still-open RfD. The PoS for this entry is now "Cardinal number". We may need to make a PoS section for the number, but isn't the police code something else. It seems to be a noun, pronounced as its constituent digits.

Talk:enforcement

Enforcement is a tricky word, mainly when used in an international context. The idea carried by the word in USA and in UK does not have translation in many other languages. Because of that discussion or text produced and translated to be used by non english speaking countries is often confusing and open door to conflict or difficulties to reach an agreement.

Even within North America the extent of the activities covered by the word enforcement will vary. In some areas it will only apply to police activities. In other it will include the work of other officers such customs officers, game wardens or fisheries officers. I have also seen it applied to include activities such as issuing permits, operating gates restricting access and doing promotion activities to ensure compliance.

I am not saying it is rigth or not, I just want to remember to those using the word to be cautious and give enough context to ensure that their idea will be well understood mainly if translation is required.

In non police environment particularly in non English speaking countries, role of police is often seen as necessary dirty work and people do not want to be linked to it. When effective enforcement is required it is often difficult for enforcers to obtain collaboration or support from non police organizations. It is why it is so important to clearly explain the meaning of the word Enforcement when you use it.

 * I disagree with a complete merger. There is something very different meant between "That man is a killer." and "That test is a killer."  The second sense is purely figurate, and means "difficult thing", not "thing causing death." --EncycloPetey 15:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

 * No, it’s just, something that kills. In this case, it is a vowel killer. Every Indic consonant has an inherent vowel, usually ‘a’, and the killer character is used to suppress the vowel in order to create a consonant cluster. Sometimes the killer mark kills a consonant (makes it mute). —Stephen (Talk) 14:21, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Assuming it's correct -- that this is the term used on Santiago to mean "spinal cord" -- I don't see the problem. (It is a little sad that the only two Capeverdean Crioulo nouns we have are "spinal cord" and "lysine", though.)  The extra layer at L3 should of course be converted to a context label -- again, assuming it's correct. -- Visviva 04:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

 * According to Capeverdean Crioulo, it's KEA. Ethnologue prefers "Kabuverdianu" as the language name.  The only prior discussion I'm able to find is here; whatever took place before then has perhaps been "archived" into page history.  -- Visviva 12:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

ז״ל

Etymology 1
A shorthand way of writing or, both of which mean “may his/her/their memory be a blessing”.

Pronunciation
See usage notes below.

Adjective

Usage notes

 * The abbreviation ז״ל is usually read out as the words it stands for (see etymology above). This means that its pronunciation depends on whether the referent is a woman, a man, multiple women, or a group of people including at least one man. It is, however, sometimes also pronounced.

Etymology 2

Talk:point at

point at
SOP, not idiomatic. --Connel MacKenzie 07:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like a phrasal verb. Consider: "Which career will you point him at?"  When the "preposition" and complement of the "preposition" can be inverted like this, there may be a phrasal verb at work.  In this particular case, though, I'd like other opinions, since the trait is not universal for phrasal verbs. --EncycloPetey 15:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but I think you might be misparsing that sentence. I think it's "{Which career}i will you point himj at ___i?"; as in, I think what we're seeing is normal Wh-movement with P-stranding, rather than a phrasal verb with a noun complement preceding the particle. —Ruakh TALK 16:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * You're quite right. It's early and somehting just didn't seem right to me.  You've sorted it out though. --EncycloPetey 16:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Not quite idiomatic, but a set phrase. I imagine many translations will use transitive verbs with no preposition, so it is useful from that point of view. Widsith 16:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Much as I support phrasal verbs wherever I can, I have to admit that this seems to be SOP. Phrasal verbs are a lot clearer when the particle is adverbial. In this case, the above example could also be "... point him to or towards. It seems to be a preposition of movement / direction. I cannot find any other dictionary giving point at as a phrasal verb either. Algrif 16:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Also the fact that the above example cannot be rephrased using a long noun phrase to replace the pronoun "him" leaving "point" followed immediately by "at" would seem to demonstrate that "point at" is not a phrasal verb. (I am aware that this test is not conclusive, BTW.) Algrif 11:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Not a phrasal verb. Delete and exemplify at point. DAVilla 16:49, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Well I would be fine with that. But I don't see the consistency, given such entries as look at.  Widsith 11:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Agreed. I've rfd'd that too. Algrif 13:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm convinced on this discussion that point at is not idiomatic, and reverse my opinion to agree we should delete it. However, this entry is not analogous to look at, as I've noted below. --EncycloPetey 04:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

 * This seems quite plausible, at least once you know how screen resolutions are named; unless there's something I'm missing, I think it warrants RFV. —Ruakh TALK 22:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Recently, another of these display standards was rejected came up for RfD. I think it was something like PALplus. We could make a presumptive case for all of them or none of them in term of CFI and just make it an RfV matter for individual ones. At least they are not primarily trademarks, even though some or all of them may have trademark status. DCDuring 23:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't spend time on them unless they were deemed CFI-worthy on all other grounds. DCDuring 23:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:whatever it takes

whatever it takes
The author has categorized it as an idiom, but I'm not sure it requires an entry. Kappa 06:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Pretty common set-phrase; leaning towards 'keep.' --Connel MacKenzie 18:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree. If this weren't a set phrase, you'd expect it to mostly interchangeable with "whatever it may take" and "whatever it might take". —Ruakh TALK 19:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The definition seems to define it as a sentence all of its own.
 * Are you proposing we kidnap the ambassador?
 * Whatever it takes.
 * DAVilla 17:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

"whatever it takes" is a noun phrase. The PoS line says "phrase", should say "noun". The definition is a clause that includes "whatever it takes". Needs work. DCDuring 00:46, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep as set phrase. I have made it two PoSs: Noun and Interjection (an affirmative). I'll check to make sure that interjection is right. I included DAVilla's made-up quote as an example. DCDuring 00:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:series finale

series finale
ibid. --Connel MacKenzie 11:15, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Set phrase with a different meaning in the UK. In the UK, this means what Americans would call a "season finale", because a UK series only runs for a year (season). --EncycloPetey 15:51, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This seems more clearly compositional than "season finale", which uses a sense of "season" not even in Wiktionary (something like "a season's worth of performances"). "Series finale" is not limited in meaning to performing arts or broadcasting and does not seem ambiguous, as "season finale" would be even to someone who knew the rules of construction for English phrases. DCDuring 14:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you aware of the difference between the meaning of this term (as used in broadcasting) in the UK and in the US? In the UK, a series finale is a program that concludes the run of programs for a single year or at the end of a single production run lasting less than a year.  A UK television program can therefore have a series finale each year.  In the US, a series finale concludes the entire length of a program's run. So, an American program has only one series finale, even if it has run for seven years, because the series finale closes the entire run only. This means the term deserves an entry, since there is a significant difference in usage depending upon a major geographic region. --EncycloPetey 22:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

 * But that's just because a UK "series" is a US "season". By your approach, we'd have an entry for "my pants are green" because it means something different in the UK as in the US. —Ruakh TALK 00:27, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It just means that this and the above rfd should be considered in the same way (keep or delete). If there was an entry for "my pants are green", it would need two definitions within the page and a second entry for "my trousers are green" (which, rather asymetrically would not need two definitions). 87.114.156.2 08:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Encyclopetey: Are you saying that a UK speaker would have to specify which kind of finale he was talking about to be understood by someone in either the UK or the US? There would seem to be a difference in the way the word "series" is used (possibly requiring different senses of that word in a performing arts glossary) rather than a justification for including a compositional term, which would also need UK and US senses. Or am I missing something? DCDuring 00:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * You've got most of my argument. The term series is used differently in the US and UK when talking about television programs (or programmes), for example.   Take a look at what WP has had to do in the introductory paragraph of their article Series finale.

 * Further, the construction series finale is a set phrase in the US, and deserves an entry both for that reason and because it has two very different meanings whose usage consistently differs between the US and UK. The US sense also has UK synonyms that are not predictable from the inividual parts. You couldn't possibly know from looking at the antry for series that the US phrase series finale is given in the UK as final episode. (which in turn does not merit an entry because it does not seem to be a set phrase in the UK, though I may be mistaken.) --EncycloPetey 12:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, as above. I've been thinking about this, and bottom line, I don't think we serve any useful purpose at this point by demanding a clear showing of idiomaticity from all polywords.  This is particularly the case since we not yet achieved any general consensus on which types of phrases are idiomatic and which are not.  Thus the results of RFDs for these phrases tend to be capricious and inconsistent, which is a terrible disservice to contributors.  IMO a plausible claim of idiomaticity within the entry should generally be sufficient to stave off deletion.  -- Visviva 06:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Are you suggesting complete abandonment of any SoP criterion? If not what you observe would seem to warrant some consensus-building on decision criteria for phrases. I would expect that it would be a salutary exercise. Also, I have observed that parsing the compositional meanings of these phrases points out missing senses of the component words, remedying what seems a deficiency in Wikipedia. This general discussion doesn't really belong on this page. I will open a Beer Parlor topic, for anyone interested. DCDuring 11:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Discussing it in the Beer Parlour is a good idea. I just wish to point out though, that sum-of-parts by itself has never been a valid reason for deletion.  It has been a good indication that something might not be OK.  Usually, general consensus emerges pretty quickly, one way or the other (as it did here.)  --Connel MacKenzie 07:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep as listed in entry above.--Dmol 17:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:cattle

Number
I am increasingly confused with what we are trying to say here. I see one unountable sense ("beef"). The others are countable I think. I have put citations of singular usage in Citation spacat Citations:cattle. DCDuring TALK 15:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Fair enough, but these are far less common than the conventional plural use ("cattle are..."), such that most English speakers would resort to a singulative construction such as "head/breed/herd of cattle" rather than use "cattle" itself as the singular. I guess that the weight we give these citations depends on whether we consider this usage to be a simple error or a genuine alternative form.  NB "cattles" is also attestable in reference to livestock, but seems to be dialectal at best (appearing chiefly in depictions of African or South Asian speech).  -- Visviva 05:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Number of obsolete sense
Obsolete legal sense: chattel. This RfV is directed solely at soliciting quotations concerning whether this word is used to refer to single items and whether it ever takes a singular verb. Perhaps that information can shed some light on other senses of the word. DCDuring TALK 15:15, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Not sure about the singular, but note that "goods and cattles" is actually better-attested in early modern English than "goods and cattle." At least that seems to be the case, from the limited smattering of usage that turns up on b.g.c.; what is really needed here is a specialized corpus of early modern legal English. That would argue pretty strongly for normal countable-noun behavior. By the time (~19th century) people start writing "goods and cattle," they were also writing "goods and chattels," and it is frequently difficult to tell whether "cattle" is meant in the modern sense or not. -- Visviva 01:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Source (weak) from Wikipedia
From English Wikipedia:
 * Cattle did not originate as the term for bovine animals. It was borrowed from Old French catel, itself from Latin caput, head, and originally meant movable property, especially livestock of any kind. The word is closely related to "chattel" (a unit of personal property) and "capital" in the economic sense.   The term replaced earlier Old English feoh "cattle, property" (cf. German Vieh, Gothic faihu).

RFV discussion 2
I wouldn't mind seeing citations for sense 2, "Certain other livestock, such as sheep, pigs or horses.", but I'm actually bringing this rfv for sense 5, "(uncountable, rare) Beef.", because I don't see how the example sentence supports it. If someone actually said "I hate eating cattle.", I would interpret that as referring to the animal; we don't have two senses for dog because someone might say "I hate eating dog; can't we have beef tonight?"--Prosfilaes 09:05, 3 November 2010 (UTC) I don't have a good explanation, honestly, for why seems to me to be a somewhat distinct sense. So, let me turn this around a bit — is a distinct sense? If so, why? —Ruakh TALK 21:51, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * See also my proposition of WT:RFD which I tagged as rfd-redundant. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:57, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * In either case I can see citations that would work. If someone came up with a citation that said "we're eating cattle today; that's made of cows" it would pretty clearly support sense 5.--Prosfilaes 11:01, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that "beef" is sometimes (not often) used as a synonym for the most common sense of "cattle", as in "fifteen head of beef". I have just added the sense and a supporting citation at beef. Perhaps the contributor of this sense was confused by this sense-synonymy. DCDuring TALK 14:57, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Among the first one hundred hits at are only irrelevancies (for us) and passages that are most easily interpreted as referring to animals (rather than their meat). —msh210℠ (talk) 15:12, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I run "we had cattle for dinner", "I like eating cattle", "we used to eat cattle" and "I hate eating cattle" in Google and got nothing relevant. Only the last formulation generated some response, i.e. a few mentions in media whose content is obviously derived from Wiktionary. This looks like another example of something invented in Wiktionary spreading to other sites. I would speedy it. --Hekaheka 20:24, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * [[dog]] actually should have a sense "dog meat". (I'm not sure about cattle, though.) —Ruakh TALK 20:45, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. "I wouldn't eat wombat/aardvark/Martian" all seem reasonable, but are they separate senses? Equinox ◑ 20:52, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Not eating wombat or aardvark does seem reasonable, but why on Earth would someone not eat Martian?
 * I think it's just a matter of countability vs. uncountability. It reminds me of the question of whether there are separate senses of e.g. bed and town (go to bed, go into town) simply because they are atypically uncountable there. For the record, Chambers has no meat sense for dog, but for chicken it rather amusingly gives "the young of birds, esp of the domestic fowl; the domestic fowl; the flesh of a fowl (not always very young)". Equinox ◑ 22:18, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I would conjecture that almost any noun can be used uncountably. (Eg, "My office floor is covered in book." is easily understood, though odd.) We encounter only a small number of the possible cases offered as potential senses. I recall some discussion about uncountable use of car: or house:, as in "You can get a lot of car/house for the money if you buy now.".
 * For most of the cases we encounter, arguably, there are lexicalized senses. '"Flesh of" the countable-sense animal' works for many animals. '"Fur of and/or hide of" the countable-sense animal' works for many others. Both or all three work for some. To avoid needless proliferation of senses, we could apply some definition formulas such as "(uncountable} The flesh (or other parts) of the bird." or "(uncountable) The flesh, fur, hide (or other parts) of the animal."
 * A more abstract, universal formulation "(uncountable) Any undifferentiated mass related to the object/event/process/concept/belief/state." seems worthless as a definition. We would be better off to include that kind of possibility in our discussion of the grammar of nouns. This is a species of construction that seems well toward the grammatical end of the grammar-lexicon spectrum. DCDuring TALK 00:46, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be a discussion of whether the word "cattle" has the sense "beef" or not? --Hekaheka 07:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There's no need to discuss that. This is RFV; either someone comes up with three quotes where has the sense "beef", or not. So, all we need to discuss is this: if  does have the sense "beef", then is that a distinct sense, meriting its own sense line? Or is it just a rare special case of its sense "cows", not worth separate mention? (Incidentally, I don't think it'd be all that hard to find three quotes. But if people want to delete this anyway, then why should I bother?) —Ruakh TALK 12:11, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I find the RfVed sense odd, but it does seem to have been used in this way. That a few of us find it odd means that, 1., others finding this sense in use might want to look it up and, 2., that it does not fall under some kind of universal grammatical rule. It seems to be in sufficient use so that there is no basis for saying it is an error. Its use in this sense may not be common, but does not warrant (which may have been intended as a joke anyway).
 * The definition as "beef" doesn't seem right. "Beef" is often used when discussing how the meet is prepared. AFAICT, "cattle" is rarely used that way. The quotation now appearing at the sense is the closest to that sense that I have seen. "Cattle" seems to be used to refer to include bovines without regard to whether they are to be used for meat and seems to extend to the general idea of the meat as human food. "Beef" as applied to living animals seems to be restricted to cattle intended for human consumption as meat. If that is correct, we should avoid using "beef" in the definition because it includes uses that "cattle" seems never to have.
 * If matters are this complicated, that suggests that we need to have a cited sense for "cattle" as "meat" and that it needs to somehow be worded to avoid implying that it is used exactly as "beef" is. DCDuring TALK 15:16, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Ruakh, re "I don't think it'd be all that hard to find three quotes": Considering my and Hekaheka's respective failures to do so, I'm wondering how you'd go about it. (I'm not doubting you: rather, I want to learn from the master RFV-closer how to best devise a search for something like this.) —msh210℠ (talk) 15:19, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if this sense is real and attestable (which I think it is), then has all the cites we need; the problem is that they're an infinitesimal proportion of all the cites there. (Even if we were infinitely patient and thorough, I think b.g.c. only ever shows hits that are in the top several hundred, so that search is useless for this.) Conversely, all the hits at  are in this sense; the problem is that there aren't any.  So, this is an optimization problem: we need a search that's narrow enough to bring "beef" cites into focus, but broad enough that it actually has such cites. Searches that I've tried that seemed to bear some fruit  meat include those for "cattle steak", "cattle steaks", "eats cattle", "fried cattle", and "roasted cattle". ("Cattle burger" and "cattle burgers" had no relevant b.g.c. hits, though the latter does have a few relevant hits on Usenet; and "ground cattle" had too many false positives, even when I told b.g.c. to show me 100 hits at a time and used Firefox to search the page for instances of the literal string ground cattle.) —Ruakh TALK 17:24, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, on second thought "roasted cattle" may not be relevant; I've never seen such a thing, but it's probably like a ginormous version of a roasted pig (or "roast pig"), which regrettably I have seen. A roasted pig is a whole pig skewered through with a "spit", placed over a fire, and turned at intervals. Roasted pork (or "pork roast"), by contrast, is a slab of pig-meat that's roasted after being slabified; its analogue is "roast beef". (There may be some relevant hits for "roasted cattle", but it's probably a lost cause trying to find them.) —Ruakh TALK 17:56, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see the current quotes as answering the question. "sheep-fat and cattle-steak seemed there for the spearing" invokes a parallel between sheep and cattle, and yet sheep has no relevant sense outside that of the animal. This goes for the other one; in general, I don't see why foo-steak doesn't work if you put in the arbitrary name of animal. I can easily find examples for kangaroo-, shark-, moose-, beaver- and bear-steak, none of which have meat senses.--Prosfilaes 16:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for explaining so clearly why you should have listed this at WT:RFD. ;-)  —Ruakh TALK 17:11, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't think of a use of "eat cattle" that wouldn't mean "eat (use as sustenance) cattle (bovine animals)", parallel to "eat humans" or "eat dogs" (as: ). As "eat cow" it is attestable, which would be OK like "chicken" or "dog" in this sense. — lexicógrafa | háblame — 19:09, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * "Cattle" is sometimes coordinated with "pork" or "mutton" in reference to the products of a region. What is the story here? Are cattle themselves shipped whole, whereas pigs and sheep are slaughtered in situ and only their meat is shipped? Or is "cattle" shorthand for (say) "beef, leather, and dairy", whereas pigskin, parchment, wool aren't worth mentioning? —Ruakh TALK 20:24, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Through the early 20th century the US had significant shipment of live cattle, cattle "on the hoof" to the big urban markets. The unit seemed to be "head". With the transition to shipping dressed carcasses, pounds became the unit. Are the quotes you are looking at current? I find it hard to believe that there was any major difference for long among hogs, sheep, and cattle in terms of on-the-hoof vs dressed transport.
 * There is a clear gradient of decreasing relative frequency of "beef" the farther one is from the table, but clearly "beef" dominates all steps of the food chain.
 * "cattle with gravy" gets no bgc hits vs. "beef with gravy" 1920: c/b=0.0000
 * "cattle steak" gets 35 bgc hits, "beef steak", 69,300: c/b=.0002
 * "beef cuts" gets 13K' "cattle cuts", .4K: c/b=.025 (raw) ~.012 discarding bad hits.
 * "dressed beef" gets 47.7K; "dressed cattle", .6K: c/b=.01
 * "cattle carcass" gets 1.3:; "beef carcass", 14.4K: c/b=.09
 * "beef on the hoof" gets 25K; "cattle on the hoof", 34.5K: c/b=1.4
 * "head of cattle" gets 532K bgc hits, "head of beef-cattle" 9.9K, "head of beef" 4.1K: c/b~120 (or more due to greater rel. freq. of "head of beef" to refer to carcasses rather than on the hoof.
 * "Beef" and "cattle" just overlap a lot, with "beef" almost exclusively used at the table and in the kitchen and "cattle" on almost exclusively on the ranch or farm. Once the cattle are at a feedlot, the word "beef" is more likely to be used. I seem to recall some language writer (Crystal ?) discussing this as part of the meaning shift of high-status French words and lower-status Anglo-Saxon words. "Beef" remains the high status word after 900 years. I think the same status difference applies to "pig" and "hog" vs. "pork" and "sheep" vs "mutton", with the latter complicated by "lamb". But the meat-oriented words, "pork", "mutton", and "lamb", seem to be used earlier in the process than "beef" usually is. DCDuring TALK 00:37, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Re: "Are the quotes you are looking at current?": Mostly no, but some yes. For example, insofar as we can trust b.g.c. Snippet-View metadata for periodicals, a 2004 Business Review Weekly article contains a sentence that begins, “Mutton and cattle prices have remained relatively steady in the past twelve months, ”
 * Your analysis is good, and explains much of what I've seen. The only things I would add are:
 * "cattle" is found, even table-adjacently, when there's a desire to emphasize the animal-ness. (See the "cattle burgers" quotes in the entry.)
 * when you fry or roast a whole cow, it remains "cattle" rather than becoming "beef". (This is related to animal-ness and distance from the table.)
 * Indian English seems to have a greater tendency than Western English to use "cattle" even fairly close to the table. This is probably related to the desire to emphasize the animal-ness (given that many or most Indians ascribe, partially or fully, to religious beliefs that revere cattle and/or eschew beef).
 * Incidentally, the sense is currently cited. The cites don't have a lot of diversity — two cites for "cattle burgers", one for "cattle-steak", one for "cattle steaks" — but they're all independent, they're all durably archived, and they all mean "beef" (more or less). In three of them the animals are salient from context; in the fourth, it's quite plausible that the animals are intended to be made salient by the choice of "cattle" as the word.
 * —Ruakh TALK 03:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think the wording is right, partially because "cattle meat" does not differentiate "veal" from "beef", whereas "beef" sometimes does differentiate adults from calves and heifers. ("Roasted veal" is almost half as common as "roasted beef" at bgc.) In food preparation, that distinction matters. How about "Meat derived from cattle." This maintains a hint of the element of animality and genericness that seems lost by going for the French-derived member of the pair.
 * BTW, do you know of a linguists' word for this kind of overlapping synonymy? Or for the high-status/low-status word pairs? DCDuring TALK 14:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think the Serge cite is using cattle to mean beef: it seems to refer to the animals ("burgers made of cattle (animals)"). That said, there are three besides AFAICT. —msh210℠ (talk) 18:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

In all citations "cattle" is used attributively (cattle steak, cattle burger).This is a rather narrow usage. I would either like to see an example in which "cattle"-the-noun is clearly used to signify "beef"-the-noun, or have it tagged "used attributively" or sthg similar. I have seen examples of animals eating cattle, but that's another thing. As a rule, a wolf eats sheep, not mutton (unless it steals someone's mutton), right?--Hekaheka 06:30, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I've rewritten the sense as “ ”, and removed the usage example ("I hate eating cattle") that didn't look anything like any of the cites. Is that satisfactory? —Ruakh TALK 20:30, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Apparently so. Striking. —Ruakh TALK 01:37, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-Iranian/mitrás

Etymology
Original PII meaning is preserved in Avestan. In Sanskrit and modern Indo-Aryan languages, mitra means “friend”, one of the aspects of binding and alliance. The Indo-Iranian reconstruction is attributed, to Christian Bartholomae and was subsequently refined by A. Meillet (1907), who suggested derivation from the Proto-Indo-European root. Contradicting suggestions included (Gray 1929).

Pokorny (IEW 1959) refined Meillet's *mey- as “to bind”. Combining the root *mey- with the ‘tool suffix’ -tra- "that which [causes] …" (also found e. g. in Sanskrit ), then literally means “that which binds”, and thus “covenant, treaty, agreement, promise, oath” etc. Pokorny's interpretation also supports “to fasten, strengthen”, which may be found in Latin, and in an antonymic form, Old English.

Meillet and Pokorny's “contract” did however have its detractors. Lentz (1964, 1970) refused to accept abstract “contract” for so exalted a divinity and preferred the more religious “piety”. Because present-day Sanskrit means “friend”, and New Persian  means “love” or “friendship”, Gonda (1972, 1973) insisted on a Vedic meaning of  “friend, friendship”, not “contract”.

Meillet's analysis also “rectified earlier interpretations” that suggested that the Indo-Iranian common noun *mitra- had anything to do with light or the sun. When H. Lommel suggested that such an association was implied in the Younger Avesta (>6th c. BCE), that too was conclusively dismissed. Today, it is certain that “(al)though Miθra is closely associated with the sun in the Avesta, he is not the sun” and “Vedic Mitra is not either”.

Old Persian —both only attested in a handful of 4th century BCE inscriptions of Artaxerxes II and III—“is generally admitted [to be] a borrowing from the Avesta”, the genuine Old Persian form being *Miça. (Kent initially suggested Sanskrit but later changed his mind. ) Middle Iranian myhr (Parthian, also in living Armenian usage) and mihr (Middle Persian), derive from Avestan Mithra.

Greek and Latin, the focal deity of a Greco-Roman cult, is the nominative form of vocative Mithra. In contrast to the original Avestan meaning of “contract” or “covenant” (and still evident in post-Sassanid Middle Persian texts), the Greco-Roman Mithraists probably thought the name meant “mediator”. In Plutarch's 1st century discussion of dualistic theologies, the Greek historiographer provides the following explanation of the name in his summary of the Zoroastrian religion: Mithra is a between “the good Horomazdes and the evil Aremanius […] and this is why the Pérsai call the Mediator Mithra” (Isis and Osiris 46.7). Zaehner attributes this false etymology to a role that Mithra (and the sun!) played in the now extinct branch of Zoroastrianism known as Zurvanism.
