Talk:投獄

Etymology
It's a kango, no doubt - using Chinese components but it's not clear when it was borrowed, possibly coined in Japan as you initially wrote. I think it's currently not used in Chinese and its meaning possibly not immediately understood by Chinese people. --Anatoli (обсудить) 01:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

 * I was unsure about the Chinese derivation initially as the yomi don't seem to agree -- one is 呉音 and one is 漢音 -- but then there is some overlap between the two anyway, and the word is pretty much identical in Korean, which is often a strong hint that it entered both languages from Chinese. Further Googling about for Chinese-specific string combinations added weight to the idea that it is used in Chinese, though perhaps not in bog-standard 普通話.
 * "投獄了" -- 35 hits
 * "投獄的" -- 452 hits
 * "投獄是" -- 260 hits
 * Searching for this term using simplified Chinese yields even more:
 * "投狱了" -- 2,140 hits
 * "投狱的" -- 4,720 hits
 * "投狱是" -- 1,450 hits
 * Sure, it's not tons, but I think this is partly because this might be parsed in Chinese as two words rather than a single term. Related phrasing generates more hits, such as such as 44,700 for "投到狱".
 * If you want to add a qualifier such as "likely" or "probably" to the etyl, I'd be fine with that. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 03:08, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

 * I've read some links, yes, that's convincing, thanks! As for Korean, I noticed many words are made the Japanese, not the Chinese way, so either they were borrowed from a different version of Chinese (the same that Japanese used) or were borrowed from Japanese. --Anatoli (обсудить) 03:17, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah, drift in the source language over time (it's been 1,000+ years since many terms were borrowed from Chinese) and the propensity for neologisms in Japanese and back-borrowing into Chinese can make things a bit murky. Add in the fact that most JA dictionary entries don't give etyls, and things get to be even more fun.  8D  Come to think on it some more, and yeah, I will add "likely" to the etyl here, just in case.  念のため、さ.   -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 03:25, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:McDonald's

RFV 1
Rfv-sense: the company. No chance this will pass WT:BRAND or WT:COMPANY. -- Liliana • 04:18, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem with deleting that definition is that there are a lot of other definitions dependent in some way or another on that definition. And I think the fact that so many other definitions, a number of which are wholly independent of the company, exist and are verifiable would lead me to believe that that gets it to pas WP:COMPANY.  Take, for example, "Mc-" definition #4.  That definition is based primarily on the fact that there is a large fast food chain that many do not hold in high regard  Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 04:29, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Um, doesn't it currently pas WT:COMPANY anyway? Mglovesfun (talk) 22:51, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. What is WT:COMPANY trying to say? It looks like "being a company name does not stop a surname from being included", but that's not necessary to say. Equinox ◑ 23:03, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * WT:COMPANY reads as follows: "A brand name for a physical product should be included if it has entered the lexicon." Has the multinational behemoth known as McDonald's entered the lexicon?  You're darned right.  In case I hadn't made myself clear, strong keep  Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 23:45, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * You've actually quoted WT:BRAND. COMPANY says "Being a company name does not guarantee inclusion. To be included, the use of the company name other than its use as a trademark (i.e., a use as a common word or family name) has to be attested." We currently have a common noun on the same page, so once that's attested, this passes. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:39, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong keep, per Purplebackpack89. What about translations? You just want to chuck them? --Anatoli (обсудить) 10:49, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, fuck McDonald's.Lucifer 03:26, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not a fan of it, but the way I see it, it passes WT:COMPANY and WT:BRAND doesn't apply (but may well do if the proposal to update it passes). Mglovesfun (talk) 21:42, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Coromines and Pascual consider it to reflect the ellipsis of an unattested, with the meaning subsequently transferred to the haystack itself. Compare 🇨🇬,, and , found in Castilian-influenced dialects. They take the Spanish variant, found in Cespedosa de Tormes, to reflect an archaic stage of the word, with the /a-/ taken from a preceding feminine definite article ; that may be why they posit a feminine Latin etymon, despite the gender of the Spanish word. Initial /a-/ turning to /al-/, whether under Arabic influence or otherwise, is not uncommon in Spanish; cf. Latin > Spanish. Once turned to, the final  /-l/ could then dissimilate to /-r/, which would help explain the form. On the other hand,, if not simply the source of the Spanish word, can have at least influenced it.

Babelboxes
Just suggesting that you add babelboxes to your user page to show which languages and writing systems you specialize in (including which language(s) and writing system(s) is native to you). It's helpful to others if you are a contributor that makes a significant number of edits here on wiktionary. Cheers! Bumm13 (talk) 01:51, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

坰 article changes and general editing comments
I noticed your edit to 坰 regarding its "Translingual" definition, and I noticed that you changed the default "wilds" definition to one that is different from the Unihan database entry definition for this character. I've researched multiple sources and the "wilds" definition is valid (as is "the outermost suburbs", so I will re-add it to the article). The images.gg-art.com website is probably a reliable source, but don't remove other definitions unless you are positive that those definitions are not correct. Be advised that one source may not be enough to verify the accuracy of definitions for Chinese/CJKV characters.

Also, when you add definitions, please wikilink relevant key words using brackets ( x ) and it's also a good idea to add your sources (cite them) to a "References" section if they differ significantly from the one(s) found in the Unihan database. The Unihan database was compiled by a large number of East Asian language scholars so it's not just "some random source" of information on these characters. Cheers!

arush
Is that "would arush me" at 1:08 in this clip? —msh210℠ (talk) 00:03, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No, it's "were to rush me" in a non-rhotic accent but with intervocalic alveolar flapping. So it's [wɜɾəˈɹʌʃmi], not [wʊɾəˈɹʌʃmi]; admittedly the acoustic difference between them is minute. —Angr 18:52, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah! Thanks. —msh210℠ (talk) 19:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

part of speech
It should be noted that this is both countable and uncountable: one should have an understanding of part of speech (uncountable); the part of speech of this word is "noun" (countable). How to fix the template to reflect this? ---> Tooironic 00:29, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * See . —msh210℠ (talk) 05:59, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think that is uncountable. DCDuring TALK 23:03, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree. Would like to see a phrase like "understanding of part of speech" in a real citation. Equinox ◑ 23:04, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * ("Lexicographers acknowledge the importance of part of speech by") is one. But the complete sentence is "Lexicographers acknowledge the importance of part of speech by following the principle substitutability." which sounds as though the author is using invisible quotation marks to make nouns into proper nouns ("by following the principle 'substitutability'") ,in which case he may well have meant also "Lexicographers acknowledge the importance of 'part of speech'" along the same lines. So it's not a great citation. There are probably others (I haven't looked much), but it certainly seems rare. I was too hasty in adding a claim of 'uncountable' to the entry, and we should revert, I think, it. —msh210℠ (talk) 16:05, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

behavior and behaviour
These entries need to be harmonised - one should be a soft redirect to the other, and all the translations and countable/uncountable information should be keep in only one of the entries. Who can help? I'm out of time right now. ---> Tooironic 00:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * We really need a way to redirect both to a common entry. No user wants to be redirected to an incorrect spelling for their variety of English.    D b f  i  r  s   22:56, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. This should be like what Wikipedia does with Jurassic Park (film) vs. Jurassic Park (movie). There may be all kinds of dialects and preferences (we tend to think about UK, US, maybe AU and CA, probably not Trinidad or Jamaican or Irish English) but ideally they should not see an "alternative spelling of". I tend to feel that doing this properly is a low priority and far from where we are now. Equinox ◑ 23:01, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I wondered about the possibilities for doing something like this for Japanese as well, where a single word might have several possible renderings that should all have the same page content. The closest way I could think of was to have a common page that would be transcluded into all of the others.  The problem I ran into was where to locate that common page.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 15:32, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * We could call the entry behavior/behaviour? Or behavio(u)r? —CodeCat 15:40, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I like behavio(u)r myself (it's shorter and leaves out the potentially political question of which spelling comes first). -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:53, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The parentheses are good also because they don't introduce the possibility of confusion with a subpage. But the common page should be in template space, i.e. Template:behavio(u)r so it's clear that we aren't talking about an individual word spelled behavio(u)r. —Angr 18:48, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There was a problem with a combined entry at colour/color and centre/center because of other languages, so would the template solution work there for an English section as part of the main entry?  I've adjusted Widsith's removal of the definitions from the British and Commonwealth spelling of centre because "Alternative" is misleading.  I understand the desire for a single entry, but the spelling with "u" has had a full entry in Wiktionary for seven years and I hate to see it go.  The template would avoid an argument, perhaps?    D b f  i  r  s   19:46, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * What about if we create colo(u)r, and transclude it on both color and colour? —CodeCat 20:03, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I think that, parentheses and all, actually meets the CFI! —Ruakh TALK 19:51, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Update: I've now created an entry for . —Ruakh TALK 20:34, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes, fair entry, but it doesn't solve our problem about behavior/behaviour. I'm still not happy with the deletion of the full entry at centre.   D b f  i  r  s   10:46, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I wasn't trying to solve any problem about behavior/behaviour, I was trying to reinforce 's point that "the common page should be in template space, i.e. Template:behavio(u)r so it's clear that we aren't talking about an individual word spelled behavio(u)r". seems to be ignoring that point, however. —Ruakh TALK 17:59, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Above I spoke in favo(u)r of parentheses rather than a slash, but it occurs to me that some BE/AE spelling differences can't be easily captured with parentheses, such as center/centre or organise/organize (which isn't strictly a BE/AE difference since z also occurs in BE). So maybe Template:center/centre and Template:organise/organize are the way to go. (The words can be arranged in alphabetical order to avoid favo(u)ring one spelling or the other.) As for the current state of [[centre]], I not only dislike that it's been stripped of its content, but also the fact that its context label says (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand), listing all the countries of the UK separately while omitting the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, and all other countries of the world (India, Pakistan, Kenya, Nigeria, Belize, Jamaica, etc.) where Commonwealth spellings may be encountered. And listing all of them would mean a great long list of countries the reader has to scan over before getting to the meat of the definition - particularly frustrating when that meat contains no meat at all but merely an indication that one has to look up the American spelling. —Angr 11:21, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes, I didn't like the partial list of countries, but I hoped that it was going to disappear soon. The OED just uses a comma (e.g. "center, centre").  I don't know much about template space, so don't want to upset experts by experimenting, but I can't see any reason why some such template containing the definitions couldn't be inserted into the separate entries at center and centre.  For pairs such as organise/organize, our existing "alternative spelling of" template is fine because the spelling with the "s" is still just an alternative in Britain (though I can see it gradually taking over from the older spelling.)    D b f  i  r  s   18:36, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There is nothing special about template namespace, it is just more pages. The only thing different about it is that when a page is transcluded the wiki engine assumes that the template namespace is meant if no namespace is specified. In short, you are unlikely to break anything by creating these pages. Spinni  ng  Spark  12:36, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God
Does this really mean "The rich can afford more immoral behavior than the poor"? I thought it meant "The rich are unlikely to enter Heaven", probably because "The rich are more likely to be immoral". That may be because "The rich can (monetarily) afford more immoral behavior" — but our definition implies that their ability to (monetarily) afford immoral behavior is the point of the saying, whereas I think the point is that they're not likely to (live in such a way that they) make it to heaven. They certainly cannot spiritually afford immoral behavior, from the text's point of view (it will damn them, as it will anyone else). - -sche (discuss) 05:04, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed, that is not the meaning as I understood it. Actually it would be very easy for a rich man to get a camel through the eye of a needle. All one needs is a very large liquidiser and a funnel. Spinni  ng  Spark  05:51, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The metaphor, as I know it, is that you have to take off all your possessions from your camel to make it go through a small gate in Jerusalem named "eye of a needle". And the interpretation is that a rich man must abandon his wealth when he dies; the possessions can't go to the other side with him. --Daniel 10:16, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey Daniel take a look at this: http://www.biblicalhebrew.com/nt/camelneedle.htm . I agree with the "must abandon wealth" interpretation though. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 13:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * From what I heard on the TV show QI, the small gate in Jerusalem story is nonsense; supposedly what Jesus meant was the literal meaning of the words. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't trust QI as a source. Anyway, there's some debate among actual experts; some think that it's actually supposed to mean that it's easier for a rope to go through the eye of a needle (the Aramaic word for camel having been used also to refer to a camel's-hair rope), while others point to similar metaphors elsewhere, using different animals, to suggest that it's quite literal. But regardless of what it meant to its author, the main question is what it means to English-speakers today. The rest is etymology. —Ruakh TALK 14:29, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I would think it means that to get to heaven one must renounce false gods (and love only God), and rich men would have a hard time renouncing Mammon (loving money too greatly, and having done so all their lives). — Pingkudimmi 16:17, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

population
Am I missing something, or are those identical? —msh210℠ (talk) 20:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * 1)  The people living within a political or geographical boundary
 * The population of New Jersey will not stand for this!
 * 1) The people living in a single place.
 * The population of some small towns is numbered in under four digits.
 * The sense 2 probably means the number of the population in a particular area, not the people themselves. You can replace population with people in the first example above, but you can’t in the following sentence:
 * The population of the US is bigger than that of Japan.
 * — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:00, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * ( / tangent): Although the meaning changes, you *can* still say the following, what with the state of public health in the US. ;-)
 * The people of the US are bigger than those of Japan.
 * Yes of course, and your example clearly shows the difference of the singular and plural population. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * So you're saying #2 above is the same as
 * 4. A count of the number of residents within a political or geographical boundary such as a town, a nation or the world
 * The town’s population is only 243.
 * then, right? —msh210℠ (talk) 00:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think they are the same. Perhaps someone added the sense 4 because the definition of the sense 2 was not clear. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:17, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the original sense 2 and moved the original sense 4 there. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 02:03, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Why was this done outside of process? This is the kind of thing RfD is for. DCDuring TALK 03:38, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought it was okay because they were the same and there was no objection. If it needed a further discussion, revert my edit. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 03:55, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think your edit was fine. It's O.K. to start an RFD discussion about merging redundant senses, but I don't think it's essential. —Ruakh TALK 18:03, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

final
"A final examination; a test or examination given at the end of a term or class; the test that concludes a class." Is this word use like this in American English only? In Australia we rarely use it. ---> Tooironic 03:11, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Dunno. But in case you're doubting its existence altogether, let me assure you it's common in American English. —msh210℠ (talk) 05:55, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * In American English, it’s a standard term for that test. But more commonly, final exam. Often used in the plural, because during final-exams week, there are finals in virtually every class. —Stephen (Talk) 11:07, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Rare in British English except for degree-level "finals".   D b f  i  r  s   11:45, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I would venture that "final" is way more common in spoken American English than "final exam". DCDuring TALK 11:58, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll go in with you on that venture. :-)  —Ruakh TALK 20:36, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

numen
Please see Talk:numen. This contributor is interested in expanding our English definition at numen: to include "god or goddess" rather than just "god". For my part I'm not familiar with this word and, while I would have thought that "god" includes both male and female deities, I suppose it's arguable. Thoughts? Equinox ◑ 21:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree with : if is known to have been used in reference to goddesses, then I would definitely write "god or goddess". Bare "god" is sometimes gender-neutral, but it's sometimes specifically male (hence, ), so we should disambiguate. —Ruakh TALK 00:23, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

society
Is it more common to say "in modern society" or "in the modern society"? My feeling - and it's backed up by Google Books - is the former sounds more natural and is much more common. A usage note to this effect would be very useful as it is totally unintuitive to non-native-speakers. It is also especially confusing considering that most other "big-concept" nouns like "government", "environment", "Internet", "world", "press", "workforce", "media", etc., almost always use the definite article (or occasionally the plural form). Who is with me? ---> Tooironic 23:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * One would say "in the modern society" only when contrasting with an older society, but "in modern government" is also used in the same way as "in modern society" when the nouns are used in an abstract way. Perhaps the ideas of society and government allow greater abstraction than the other nouns.  Environment and workforce can also take an indefinite article, but we usually assume that we have only one Internet, world, press and media.  I'm struggling to define rules about which of the three options to use in which contexts.    D b f  i  r  s   10:38, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I "just" know
What sense of just: is being used in "I just know", for example in "I can tell, I just know that it's going down tonight"? Fugyoo 19:03, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Seems to be, a sense we don't yet have. —msh210℠ (talk) 16:01, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with Equinox; it's not an emphatic. It's saying that I know this despite a lack of information to make that claim.--Prosfilaes 20:35, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

lindo
The Spanish and Portuguese words have different etymologies, but they have the same meaning so that seems a bit strange. Which one is it? —CodeCat 23:47, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

what is a bunny rabbit?
Like, grammatically, it is a word composed of 2 words, where both of the words mean the same thing, and the word composed of both of the words also means the same thing. What's the grammatical name for this? Are there other example of it? motor car is one, I guess. --Rockpilot 23:08, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * And pussy cat and kitty cat. I hope they're not just called reduplications, maybe called extreme reduplications instead, or even better doubling reduplications ('coz then, like, the term doubling reduplication is also a doubling reduplication, which leads to awesomeness in the form of autologicality). --Rockpilot 00:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Reduplication is usually at the level of sounds, AFAICT. Rhetoricians might call these examples of parelcon, synonymia, or perissologia. See Silva Rhetoricae. DCDuring TALK 02:07, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Those names suck. I prefer doubling reduplication, or bunny-rabbit word --Rockpilot 09:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Not "motor car" since this is just a car(t) with a motor. After 700 years of regular use, "car" came to be used as an abbreviation for the motorised variety, but not exclusively.    D b f  i  r  s   09:37, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * motor car is actually a bunny-rabbit word, as motor and car both mean motor car. --Rockpilot 09:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but only because both "motor" and "car" are now used as abbreviations for the original correct term "motor car". Not all cars are designed to have motors, and not all motors will fit in a car.  This is not the same as the duplication of words for children in your other examples.    D b f  i  r  s   10:11, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I would call bunny rabbit a tautological noun used by children. —Stephen (Talk) 22:09, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Other examples would include oak tree. These are very common in Mandarin, helping to reduce ambiguity. Fugyoo 21:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yet, tree: does not necessarily mean oak:, and oak: on its own is ambiguous -- are we talking about the tree? the wood? the color? Context can make this clear, but sometimes an additional word is needed.  Meanwhile, a bunny: is, in most respects, the same thing as a rabbit:, with the main differences having to do with the age appropriateness of word choice and similar social connotations.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 22:40, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

"Avon" means 'river' in Celtic, so the popular "Avon river" means "river river". Does that make "Avon river" a "bunny-rabbit word"? How about "hollow pipe" or "girly girl" or "manly-man" or "rifled rifle" or "buttery smooth"? --DavidCary 03:07, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * FWIW, a pipe can be not hollow, such as when filled with something, be it water or dirt or what have you. Meanwhile, "girly girl" and "manly man" seem to be emphatics more than the kind of doubling seen in bunny rabbit:.  "Rifled rifle" strikes me as redundant -- a rifle is by its very definition rifled; if it looks like a rifle but the barrel isn't rifled, it's not a rifle, it's a musket.  "Buttery smooth" is a bit different, and different again from bunny rabbit:, for while butter is certainly smooth provided it's not frozen, smooth: on its own does not necessarily call forth connotations of butter:.

 * "Avon river" is the closest analog, but for the problem of different languages, and the simple fact that most English speakers don't know that "avon" means "river". By contrast, English speakers will recognize bunny: and rabbit: as being essentially the same thing.

 * (My favorite example of this kind of cross-language redundancy was a three-way of sorts, on a sign in Tokyo labeling a waterway as the Shin Sen Gawa River. In kanji, it was the 新川河, which is already redundant, using the Chinese-derived reading "sen" for 川, which means "river" but is used here as a proper noun, and 河, which means river, but is used here as the placename label.  So then in English it's the New River River River.  Joy!)  -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 07:23, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I would be interesting to see what the actual meaning-in-use of "bunny rabbit" is. It might change the answer to the original question. Similarly, it would be interesting to see how common terms like "kit" or "kitten" are in reference to rabbits. In a typical corpus it would probably depend on the inclusion of a single journal article that used the term. DCDuring TALK 00:19, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * On the frequency of the word kit and kitten in this sense, see Rabbits at bgc. DCDuring TALK 00:33, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Growing up, I heard countable pizza refer to a slice. Fwiw. —msh210℠ (talk) 00:38, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Apparently the ambiguity of the term kit/kitten in this sense is such that there is some scholarly usage of kit rabbit/kitten rabbit synonymously with bunny rabbit:. DCDuring TALK 00:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Again, what is the evidence that bunny rabbit means specifically "young rabbit" rather than "rabbit" (of any age)? That's not what our definition says, it's not what my native-speaker intuition says, it's not what Oxford says. It may have connotations of cuteness, but rabbits (unlike many other animals) remain cute even when fully grown. —Angr 16:51, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not hard to find cites where "bunny" appears to be contrasted with "adult (rabbit)"; for example, see here (and scroll to the next page); (just two distinct cites, but still); this web-page (N.B. not durably archived); and some of the hits at . Obviously there are speakers for whom "bunny" means "rabbit", but there are apparently (and attestably) speakers who use it to mean "young rabbit". —Ruakh TALK 20:16, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

piquing and Peking
Random question: are these words homophones? ---> Tooironic 02:15, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * To me, the stress is on the first syllable for the first, and the second syllable for the second. SemperBlotto 08:24, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't forget peaking and peeking. --Mglovesfun (talk) 16:20, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say piquing, peaking and peeking are homophones; Peking has the stress on the second syllable. Any of the first three words together with Peking is a good example of a purely stress-based minimal pair in English. (Those aren't easy to find because of the English tendency to reduce unstressed vowels to schwa.) —Angr 16:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think so; I've never heard and can't find any examples of it. Female seals, if not simply called "female seals", are called "cows" (or "seal cows" or "cow seals" if necessary for disambiguation). —Angr 16:18, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

striked
Following a discussion elsewhere, I've realised that "striked" is seemingly becoming more common, but only in the context of industrial relations. I don't have time now to alter then entry and I don't know how it should be labeled. I wouldn't say it's "non-standard" but it's not the most common. Anyway, some cites: .

Also when looking for those, I found a few uses of "striked" as an adjective describing a type of measure or maybe the term is "striked measure", gives a definition. It seems to be related to wheat and possibly other similar crops only. Thryduulf (talk) 18:34, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

phew
Look at the pronunciation of phew (/ɧu˥˩/). Does this English term really have tone and a sound which exists only in Swedish? Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 00:49, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Not in my idiolect, it's not. phew is much more aspirated then few.--Prosfilaes 12:15, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Likewise in mine, where phew is pronounced somewhere between few and shoe, and does have a tone drop. There are a small number of English interjective sounds that have qualities not normally associated with English.  This can include unusual IPA characters not present in other words and tonal information.  See ugh for another example, where the pronunciation is that given by the Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary, and with which I agree based on my own idiolect.  --EncycloPetey 16:21, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I just noticed this when looking at recent changes and came here to say it might be the bilabial sound ɸ. So, um, hmm. Weigh that as you will.--Prosfilaes 23:28, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Right, I think phew has a bilabial sound; in any case, it's different from whew. - -sche (discuss) 23:38, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't our pronunciations represent the English word as it would be read aloud, or spoken in neutral English, rather than the natural noise that it imitates or names, or some specific imitative expression? Consider bang, budda budda, burp, zoom, bark, moo, woohoo. —Michael Z. 2012-01-28 17:57 z

 * Yes, but "phew" is usually pronounced slightly more expressively than few, even by people who are trying to read in a boring and unexpressive way.  D b f  i  r  s   18:36, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Adding Latin 3rd conjugation template for verbs with no perfect?
Hi all! I stumbled across the Latin word adlubesco / allubesco, which seems to have no perfect forms (see for example here). There is a template for 3rd conjugation verbs with only one part, and for 3rd conjugation verbs with 3 parts, but none for those with 2 parts.

 * 1) Is it truly the case that adlubesco has no perfect? I couldn't find any in my random search.
 * 2) Is there any objection to my creating the 3rd-noperf template?

Thanks! --Robert.Baruch 02:28, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

 * The Latin inchoative verbs (ensing in -esco) that I've come across have no infinitive form, which is why albesco: and similar verbs use the "no234" template. Have you found an inifinitive form for adlubesco?  I didn't spot it in the link you provided, though I might have just missed it. --EncycloPetey 05:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, the infinitive is given in L&S and Cassell's. It's also mainly in various post-Gutenberg works, e.g. here (1738) and here (1639). There's also the imperfect subjunctive found in Metamorphoses, so there must be an infinitive form to conjugate, right? And I guess I can add allibesco to the alternate forms :( --Robert.Baruch 15:06, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

hell on wheels
The L3 header says Noun, but the definition suggests this is an adjective. Which is true? -- Liliana • 20:17, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd definitely call it a noun. It is often used as a predicate with the meaning given. It could be defined as "Someone or something that is ....". Also sometimes it is used to mean something like "intensely good or successful" of a performance, especially a competitive one. DCDuring TALK 20:36, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

western world
"All of the countries of the world other than those in Asia taken as a whole." Urgh. That is the worst definition I have ever heard. It excludes countries like Israel, but includes all of Africa which many people do not perceive as "western". -- Liliana • 21:33, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak humor aside, it didn't impress me either. My real question is whether it's varied over time. I went ahead and added an obsolete sense of the Americas, but I'm wondering both in age of book and subject of book. Pre-Western discovery Australia is surely not part of the Western World, and I suspect that Cold War authors were likely to exclude Eastern Europe and modern authors possibly include Russia to the sea (or certainly at least the entire EU.)--Prosfilaes 22:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

stir fry
Hi. In the sense of "stir fry" as a compound noun, "stir fries" is listed as the only plural form. I came here after seeing an article that used the form "stir frys." This is a bit over my head, but between a google search, by comparison to the "still life" entry, and after reading this article, it seems likely that "stir frys" is probably acceptable. Cheers.

 * Well, do you have gang shootouts called "drivebies"? Equinox ◑ 14:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point! Even though "driveby" is often written as a single word, "drivebies" is not attestable (there is just one "drive-bies" in print on bgc). I think we can cite both "stir frys" and "French frys" to satisfy CFI for Wiktionary, though not for some more conservative dictionaries who ignore deviant authors.  We ought to indicate, for our users, which plural is more common.    D b f  i  r  s   15:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Where the thing can be called a fry (like a French fry: "I dropped a fry on the floor") I think it's ungrammatical. Stir-fry, driveby, passer-by etc. seem like different cases. Equinox ◑ 15:47, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed. When by is actually from the preposition, it shouldn't ever turn into bies.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 03:09, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

computer language
Should we merge the senses, since #3 comprehends both #1 and #2? Equinox ◑ 21:57, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't see any value keeping senses #1 and #2 separate from #3. There is some discussion of the term computer language in the last paragraph of Programming_language suggesting that it has distinct senses, but these do not correspond to our current #1 and #2.
 * All the examples in our current #3 are languages that a computer can typically read and act on, but computer language is sometimes used more broadly - see e.g. w:Template:Computer language. I think #3 should also mention specification languages, or something similar. --Avenue 21:50, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd think the third one is legitimate in a more informal sense. For the first senses I would prefer programming or machine language to this term. Other than loosely, the only other way I'd employ it is to refer to messaging protocol.
 * Actual use, however, tells a different story. "A computer language...allows you to specify a series of commands or operations." "Like any other computer language, [C] is used for writing programs or sets of instructions." DAVilla 03:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

-tor in Latin
Wrong suffix: -tor = -or, the letter before being part of the radical of the suffixed noun/verb.

--Diligent 14:23, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Not in the case of — this can be interpreted as ara- + -tor (from aro, arare). --MaEr 15:42, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I thought such nouns arose from the third-person singular? In such a case,  would be  +, and  would be  + .  The  example on the  page could be analyzed as  + , with the unstressed interstitial -i- disappearing, much as it did in the evolution of  into the varieties present in modern European languages.  Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 03:27, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * From a non-historic point of view, one can re-interprete existing formations in this way. I mean: if speakers of Latin believe that the suffix is -or instead of -tor they will use -or as a suffix. Reanalysing suffixes happens often, not only in Latin.
 * From a historic point of view, however, there is a suffix -tor. It is inherited from Proto-Indo-European and is also found in Ancient Greek. The vowel between t and r has ablaut, so the suffix may appear in Ancient Greek dotēr (from dh₃-tér) and in Ancient Greek dōtōr (from déh₃-tor). The zero-grade appears in -tro (= -tr-o), as in Latin aratrum (<ara-tr-o-m). According to Jean Haudry, there is an old phonetic variant -tel which appears in Slavic -tel (Russian учитель etc.) --MaEr 09:12, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, you'd need to convince the well-respected scholars who wrote, edited, and revised both the veneable work A Latin Grammar and its successor New Latin Grammar. They disagree with you.  They consider -tor: to be the suffix, as MaEr has pointed out already. --EncycloPetey 16:42, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Amator = radical of amatus + -or
 * cantor = radical of cantus + -or
 * Arator = radical of aratus + -or
 * It is very systematically based on the past participle's radical:
 * Actor = radical of actus + -or
 * Motor = radical of motus + -or
 * Servitor = radical of servitus + -or
 * Monitor = radical of monitus + -or
 * This went on in Roman languages: torear, toreado, toreador.
 * --Diligent 13:01, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It looks that way in retrospect, but that's not how it happened historically. The fact that it has been reinterpreted this way is merely an artifice of similarity in the endings. --EncycloPetey 18:14, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * (tosses some gasoline) Moreland and Fleischer in Latin: An Intensive Course have this to say in Unit 11 (my notes in italics, showing that the derivation probably follows regular rules):
 * "The suffixes -tor (M.), -trix (F.) added to the stem of a verb produce a noun. Each means 'one who.' Thus:
 * inceptor, -oris incipio -> incip -> inciptor -> inceptor
 * auditor, -oris audio -> audi -> auditor
 * scriptor, -oris scribo -> scrib -> scribtor -> scriptor
 * spectator, -oris spect -> spect -> specttor -> spectator
 * actor, -oris ago -> ag -> agtor -> actor
 * liberator, -oris libero -> liber -> libertor -> liberator
 * amator, -oris and amatrix, amatricis amo -> am -> amtor -> amator
 * inventor, -oris and inventrix, inventricis invenio -> inveni -> invenitor -> inventor
 * cantor, -oris and cantrix, cantricis cano -> can -> cantor
 * victor, -oris and victrix, victricis vinco -> vinc -> vinctor -> victor
 * petitor, -oris peto -> pet -> pettor -> petitor

 * "By analogy, there are viator, -oris and viatrix, viatricis (from via, 'way' + -tor or -trix). --Robert.Baruch 15:28, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Many thanks to all for the varied examples! Note that I was not stating an opposing argument, and instead trying to clarify my own understanding, so this wealth of information is certainly welcome.
 * One minor curiosity that continues to puzzle me is that a number of these are noted as deriving from the perfect passive participle, which would suggest "one who is [verbed]", rather than the active "one who [verbs]".  Does anyone know more about that?
 * And in looking around to learn about the various suffixes used, I found that has no etymology given.  Is this suffix derived from, or does it arise from the same underlying root as ?
 * -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * They appear to be derived from the passive participle but they are distinct suffixes that both happen to begin with -t-. They were already distinct in Indo-European: (from earlier *-tors) and . —CodeCat 20:18, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Aha! That makes more sense.  This would suggest that the pages stating that the  agent nouns derive from the perfect passive (such as  or ) are incorrect, since it looks now like the perfect passive and the agent noun both amount to the verb stem (radical?) +  or  respectively.  (And since there isn't a  entry, I'm adding it to the list of requested Latin terms.)  -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 16:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * An ending like -tus is considered inflectional, not formative. We generally do not have entries for inflectional endings in Latin. --EncycloPetey 18:14, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery
Etymology and definition are fine, but the part of speech doesn't quite fit.

Equinox ◑ 15:46, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

I think we are missing a sense. There's a slang sense (possibly American, hip-hop or rap) that means "unconcerned" or "not bothered", as in "Shall we go to Restaurant A or Restaurant B?" "I'm easy" ("I don't mind"). Have others encountered this? Should we add a sense? Equinox ◑ 22:04, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Possibly just US, but much wider than AAVE, rap, or hip-hop. (My city has sought to be the site of the National Hip Hop Museum, so I'm an expert.) I've always thought of it as short for "easy-going" or "easy to convince" etc. Perhaps it is most commonly just "agreeable". DCDuring TALK 01:25, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

briar vs. brier
Is this just a spelling variation, or are these distinct words with different etymologies? Neither has an etyl, and neither references the other, I only happened upon the pair by chance. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 23:55, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Online Etymology Dictionary says that briar and brier are the same word, but that brier itself has two etymologies, both of which happen to be shrubs (one is Germanic, the other Gaulish via French). —CodeCat 00:17, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The OED agrees, with etymologies: "Old English: West Saxon brǽr" and "French bruyère heath, erroneously identified with brier" (the second root only for the wood, of course).  Should we split our senses into separate etymologies?    D b f  i  r  s   14:54, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I've been doing so for Japanese, but I'm not sure what the consensus approach is for English entries. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 16:54, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I would not treat them as alternative forms because there is apparently some etymological difference, but use to keep them linked and Synonyms to keep them connected appropriately. DCDuring TALK  17:49, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is an etymological distinction between brier and briar. Instead, from what I've gathered, briar is an alternative spelling of brier for both etymologies. —CodeCat 18:22, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * ... but is there still a difference in the senses (as the OED claims), or has the confusion now become total so that people now use the two spellings interchangeably? When I see the "brier" spelling, I think of a pipe, but is this distinction shared by others?  A quick Google search for "brier" + pipe gives over 7 million hits, compared with only 1.5 million for "briar" + pipe, but I don't think this is enough to claim a well-known distinction between the spellings.  Many dictionaries now accept "briar" for the pipe-wood, so I'm forced to agree that "briar" has now become an alternative spelling for the formerly distinct word "brier".  Perhaps we could just add a usage note explaining the history.   D b f  i  r  s   09:00, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not uncommon for a distinction in meaning to be formed between two alternative spellings, like what happened with to and too. If there is any distinction at all I think it may be emerging in a similar way. But the only way to be sure is to look at the historical usage. Did people use the two spellings interchangeably a few hundred years ago? —CodeCat 11:50, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the tendency is the other way, in the direction of totally confusing the original meanings so that they are becoming just alternative spellings in modern usage. I'm probably trying to preserve an outdated distinction (as I often do!)    D b f  i  r  s   21:44, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
