gündizme
Turkish. Our IP user has made up a new word... (Do we really need to verify obvious vandalism?) -- Curious (talk) 20:04, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * For the benefit of those of us who don't know Turkish, why is this obvious vandalism? This page suggests the identification of gündizme with "calendar" may be accurate. —Angr 21:45, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not whether you speak Turkish, it's whether you remember the previous history with this person. According to, they're trying to wipe out all the non-Turkic loanwords, one protologism at a time. also mentioned an online Turkish dictionary that "coincidentally" adds entries for these new words at the same time they're added here. I just checked Google Books and Google Groups: zero hits. Apparently the correct word is takvim, but that's from Arabic, so it looks like they've made up a replacement from Turkish word-elements or by modifying a word from some other Turkic language. Chuck Entz (talk) 08:50, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * When I listed this word yesterday, there were about 10 Google results, including some duplicates. 24 hours later, there are ... 6810 Google results. Impressive! (The high number is caused by the "new" section on every single page of certain websites.) Googling again, this time with "gündizme -borg" to filter those out, gives me just 19 Google results. Looking at those 19, I see: a) several spam accounts of this user, all spamming the same weird words that this IP user also adds to wiktionary; b) dictionary www.ingilizce.g3n.in, a dictionary created by this IP user, containing his invented words, c) online dictionaries that can be freely edited by any person; d) non-Turkish (Kazakh); e) duplicates. Google again tomorrow, and you'll see more spam accounts of this user and more online dictionaries being affected. This spamming is happening to all words that this user is adding to wiktionary. "Verifying" the words of this user simply means that we are watching the online word-spreading activities of this user. I know that what I wrote here has no effect on the outcome of this verification process, but I believe the community should know what is happening. When evaluating Turkish entries added by an IP user, please remember that seeing "thousands of Google results" and/or an entry in an freely editable online Turkish dictionary doesn't mean anything: it could all be produced by the IP user himself.

 * @Angr: that page is made by this IP user. -- Curious (talk) 22:46, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * What are you maundering about? --88.238.184.199 02:39, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * This is non-sense. If there would be an effort for trying to wipe out all the non-Turkic loanwords, why that online dictionary displays both Arabic and Turkic ones together? Or why do i not change the calendar entry by replacing Arabic origin "takvim" with Turkic origin "gündizme"? You say often something like "Google Book has no hits...". The copyright conditions are more restricted in Turkey than many other countries. For example (as far as I know) a book is not copyrighted after 50 years since its publishing date in USA but it is not copyrighted after 100 70 years since the date of its author death in Turkey (think about the difference).There is a wrong derivated word in Turkish "alınık". It is a new addition in Turkish, perhaps some authors used it in their books but if they do not make their books "public license", Google can not publish them. So, if you search Google, you can see this word is very commonly used in Turkish, but there is no result in Google Books. If a Turkish learner saw this word and looked up Büyük Türkçe Sözlük (published by Turkish Language Association), this word is not listed there (probably because of it is a wrong derivated word). So, this kind of words may not be added to wiktionary? If the answer is "no", how do the people learn their meanings? If you are talking about Google Groups, it is not very commonly used in Turkey. (I am not so good at English, if you don't understand something or what i mean, you may ask me and i may explain it again). --88.238.184.199 11:56, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The strategy is obviously based on unobtrusiveness: removing commonly-used terms would be too obvious and too disruptive and would invite a backlash that would expose the attempts at manipulation. Simply adding the new terms without explanation increases the chance that people will pick up the new terms without realizing they're new. As for your comment about Google Books: their database is full of copyrighted works. If a work is still in copyright, they show it as a hit on searches, but limit the display of the text: either showing just a snippet that includes the highlighted search term, or just showing general information about the work without any text from within it. I would be extremely surprised if they handled this any differently for Turkish works. By the way, I don't know where you got the 50-year figure. Sites like the Internet Archive and Google Books seem to follow a 90-year standard for US works- currently they limit access by default to anything after about 1922. Chuck Entz (talk) 15:50, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * For the US, it's 95 years from publication or published pre-1923, as the last copyright extension was not retroactive.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:03, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Anyway, search the word "alınık" in both Google Search and Google Books search, and then see the difference between them. Your criterion is not working with the Turkish vocabulary. (I've searched it again, noticed there is one result with the same meaning, but it is very little comparing the Google Search results.) --88.238.184.199 02:48, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

I read somewhere it is 50 years or perhaps i remember it wrong (confuse with an other country). Anyway, it doesn't matter. The vocabulary of Turkish has been being changed since the foundation of TDK. If you compare Redhouse's Turkish dictionary (1880) with present Turkish-English dictionaries, you can see many differences between the Turkish vocabulary of that time and the present one, while English words mostly remain the same. It's not important if this word will be removed from Wiktionary, but that person whose user name is Curious, says "our IP user made up...". I don't accept that. This word is a derivation from Kazakh, some people wrote something about it a few years ago. I guess, he thinks I made this word or I am the only person who writes about these words on internet and he is kind of blaming me for this. He says even that i am a language purist but i am not. I am using both foreign origin and Turkic origin words in daily life or on internet. Even if the only ones who use these words were language purists, is this a criterion? Why this comes again and again as a matter? Then some people may say "let's delete X word, because it is used by communists". Tell me what the official ideology of Wiktionary is, then i can think about which words may not be accepted here. --88.238.184.199 16:17, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Reconstruction talk:Proto-Slavic/vьlna

"wool" and "wave" are two different etymologies, don't reinstate Bulgarian вълна "wave" as a descendant of "wool". --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 01:32, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

 * What is different? The Bulgarian entry points to the same Proto-Slavic form - *vьlna, so does the Russian волна. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:40, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * They have different accents (barytone, oxytone) and accent paradigm (columnar, mobile). This was inherited from Proto-Slavic. It's not currently marked until I figure out how to put diacritics on jers. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 01:49, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

 * What is jers? Do you mean ъ? Bulgarian uses ̀ to stress ъ and its transliteration: "ǎ̀" --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:11, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks. I noticed later that there were two etym. sections with some differences. What references are you using? I can't see the same level of info in the online Vasmer dictionary. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:52, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Vasmer has two different etymologies for Russian волна, and lists two different sets of cognates. Derksen (see ===References===) has two different headwords as well. Others haven't reached the letter v yet. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 01:58, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Will double-check. Could you post the exact link, please? Here's my link. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:11, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

fro-utilites and Module:frm-utilities both call Module:fr-utilities for sorting; should it therefore be restored? Also French plurals are almost entirely predictable from their last letter (apart from -al and -ail) so that would be a useful module. All I can do is copy code across from one module to another almost blindly and hope I don't screw it up.

Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Sort key for Old and Middle French/reply (7)

The sorting code is now in Module:utilities, specifically the  function. You give it a list of category names (in a Lua table) and the language code, and optionally a custom sort key (the one that was provided to the template in the entry, or else nil). And it will return the category names with  added, as well as the appropriate sort key for that entry in the given language. So there is no need for a language-specific module to do this, that would just duplicate the work.

Category talk:Biblical characters

Category:Biblical characters
I am unaware of any consensus favoring inclusion of entries for individuals. Accordingly, in line with our role as a dictionary, rather than an encyclopedia, this should be moved to Category:Biblical names unless it would be better deleted. DCDuring TALK 16:20, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps to Category:English male given names from the Bible and its female counterpart, à la other "English male given names from..." categories? —msh210℠ (talk) 17:04, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I Like msh210's idea. Though, it would overlap a lot with a lot, wouldn't it? Mglovesfun (talk) 23:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, category:English male given names from Classical Hebrew doesn't exist, though English male given names from Hebrew does. Are names from the NT in general known to be from Hebrew? —msh210℠ (talk) 16:50, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not wedded to any particular name for the category, but to making clear that we are not a short-attention-span encyclopedia. DCDuring TALK 23:59, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The Bible is linguistically important source of names, having been translated into almost every language, including extinct ones. All given names of biblical derivation cannot be found in the Bible - Mary is an English biblical character, but Maria, Marian and Molly are not. Biblical names also derive from Greek, Latin, Persian etc. Merging this category with "English male/female given names from the Bible" or "English male/female given names from Hebrew" would be inaccurate. Why not be as accurate as possible? I don't see any harm in renaming the category "Biblical names", though, including the place names, if somebody is personally willing to take the trouble. Definitions for important biblical characters like Peter or David seem to be commonly accepted. At least you'd need a vote to change that. Nobody is suggesting a separate definition for everybody mentioned in the genealogies, I hope? --Makaokalani 15:27, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * On second thoughts, renaming it "Category:Biblical names" would do a lot of harm: 1400 definitions in 50 languages would have to be changed by hand, along with English translation table glosses. One person can never do it correctly. The result would be a mess, and all for a cosmetic change!
 * Archived as no consensus: each one of the four participants has a different agenda. Any practical decision would require a new discussion.--Makaokalani (talk) 13:13, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:underwear

I use this word the way it is defined here, but I hear many people use it to mean only underpants/panties; i.e., to exclude brassieres and undershirts.

Also, what about slips: that aren't necessarily worn next to the skin, but they are something one WEARS UNDER 'regular' clothes.76.126.195.34 18:20, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Second definition
I think the second definition should be marked as 'colloquial' as underwear is a general term officially and includes items such as undershirts and the like. BlackAdvisor (talk) 19:16, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

pronunciation
i think the /ˈʌndɚwɚ/ pronunciation is questionable. think of it in a nonrhotic accent .. "undawa" ... even in rapid speech that wouldnt pass. I think the /e/ is always there, even colloquially, but in rapid speech it may lose its secondary stress and be pronounced so rapidly that it might be missed. Lollipop (talk) 20:42, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

 * put another way, it may be at the phonetic level a rhoticized /e/, which in rapid speech would sound like [ɚ], but phonemically it's still /er/. Lollipop (talk) 20:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Probably better at WT:RFM. It looks like the move to lower-case was done by a bot as part of the mass-conversion of the entire dictionary from capitalized to lower-case entry names 7 years ago, and this was collateral damage. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have added a Latin section for the species epithet, which is lowercase. It is marked there as New Latin.

 * I think we should keep the term and IMHO, we need some addition to our current CFI to provide for situations when a term is little known by some language speakers.

First, there's at least two names for this language, Pitjantjatjara and Pitjantjara; how do we know which one is used for transliterations in reliable media. Secondly, if they're transliterating from Pitjantjatjara, I think it's quite a stretch to assume that we know the one correct way b̥ɪɟanɟaɟaɾa is transliterated into Japanese. Or if they don't transliterate from Pitjantjatjara, how can we be certain they'll start from English instead of Korean (피짠짜짜라어)?

There is nothing about this that would say that this is a suffix rather than side: in combination. DCDuring TALK 11:13, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

 * What definition of side would this be? Do we have it? Should we have it? Mglovesfun (talk) 16:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I doubt that it is just one sense, but MWOnline has "an area next to something — usually used in combination ". stateside: seems to involve a sense closer to MW's senses of either "a position that is opposite to or contrasted with another" or and extension of "a place, space, or direction with respect to a center or to a line of division (as of an aisle, river, or street)" to 'area of division' to allow an ocean to fit more comfortably to explain its origins. Of course, there is no reason why a current definition of need have an exact fit with each current meaning, just as -le: does not have an adequate sense to explain the current meaning of hustle:.
 * I think our closest sense is "A region in a specified position with respect to something." but the reader would have to realize that the something can be defined by context, as in stateside. We are not too consistent as to whether we rely on context to make up for deficiency in our definitions or forbid using context because doing so would deny lexicographic legitimacy to some content.

RFV discussion: June–July 2016
I'm not sure that this is a genuine suffix. DonnanZ (talk) 10:03, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Any word made up from is normally splittable, whether it's the first part of the word, or the last part. This is unlike a true suffix or prefix. DonnanZ (talk) 10:35, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * By "splittable", do you mean that all words ending -side are compounds? I think this should probably be at RFD, rather than RFV, since it's a debate about the grammar of the word. Anyway, "side" is not an adverb, so in a phrase like "He went airside", it clearly can't be split like *"He went air side". -side behaves like a classic suffix: it has predictable behaviour, it can change the part of speech of a word, it is productive (there are relatively recent coinages like planetside and spaceside), and the resulting words do not always make sense as a literal sum of parts (neither planets nor fires literally have "sides"). Smurrayinchester (talk) 11:26, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

 * First of all, I RFVed this as we need to find out whether reputable dictionaries recognise it as a suffix, Oxford for one doesn't. Wiktionary shouldn't always be a renegade.
 * I repeat the assertion that every word including side is splittable, separable, or divisible, whether this normally happens or not; in fact there are many terms which normally aren't combined, such as credit side and debit side. Words such as hillside also have a different form (sidehill); fireside, by the side of the fire; airside is actually listed as a noun by Oxford, not as an adverb. Place names such as Humberside are also separable (the side of the Humber). I could go on and on, but I won't. DonnanZ (talk) 12:27, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * "sidehill" is dialectal and not a generalizable pattern ("sidefire" seems to mean something totally from "fireside", and an airport worker would be totally baffled by "sideair"); "by the side of the fire" is a circumlocution and again not generalizable (*"by the side of the air"?); regardless of what Oxford says, airside clearly behaves like an adjective and an adverb, and Chambers and the OED have it as both; you can't take proper nouns apart (Newtown isn't just a new town) and at any rate, it's not just [river]+side: the River Mersey flows through Warrington, but Warrington is not part of Merseyside while Southport is despite not being on the side of the Mersey. Smurrayinchester (talk) 14:26, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I have checked Cambridge, Chambers, Collins and Oxford, and they all redirect you to side when searching for -side. Of the points you raised, airside is a strange one: it doesn't mean on the side where the air is, but the side where the aircraft are. Apparently the antonym is landside, but I've never heard it used. Newtown is a very unimaginative name, did it never occur to people that it would ever get old? But it may be newer than some other town. The term Merseyside may have been in use before the local authority was formed, I don't know. But there is not much sense in having some terms listed under -side and others listed as hyponyms . It's all very confusing at present. DonnanZ (talk) 17:40, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

 * As Smurrayinchester says, this is productive and changes the part of speech of the word it applies to, e.g. "I'm going planetside tomorrow" (although our definition is currently inadequate) is grammatically like "I'm going down tomorrow" and can't be replaced with "I'm going planet tomorrow", "I'm going side of planet tomorrow". Some of the things currently listed as using "-side" may in fact be noun + noun compounds using "-side", but some do seem to be using a suffix "-side". Unfortunately, the only books I can find that mention a suffix -side mention it in Asian varieties of English only: J. Raimund Pfarrkirchner, A Natural Fortress ISBN 3848220962, page 81, describing a Sherpa who says things like "It is down-side from Lukla", says: "It became common to hear, as did the use of an adjective or noun plus the suffix '-side' to denote relative location." And Stephen A. Wurm, Peter Mühlhäusler, Darrell T. Tryon, Atlas of Languages of Intercultural Communication in the Pacific ISBN 3110819724, writes: "Two other CPE [Chinese Pidgin English] features, not in the table, which were probably introduced by Chinese immigrants are look-see (from 1924) and the suffix -side as in topside (from 1934)." A number of other references mention a suffix -side used in forming the names of sugars, which however seems to be a misunderstanding (glucoside is glucos(e) + -ide). - -sche (discuss) 17:38, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - voting despite this being RFV since the nomination is not RFV-ish. As for "I RFVed this as we need to find out whether reputable dictionaries recognise it as a suffix": Please read WT:CFI, in particular WT:ATTEST. RFV has nothing to do with "reputable ditionaries". In RFV, we don't rely on dictionaries, reputable or otherwise. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:09, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Sense 2 is cited, in that stateside, planetside, dirtside and spaceside are attested and "side" cannot be a noun in those constructions, so they must attest something like this suffix. Sense 1 is debatable; one can say "a fireside chat" as well as "a fire-side chat" as well as e.g. "a road-surface covering", where the second element is a noun but the end result is or functions as an adjective, so it seems unclear if citations of the usexes given actually use the suffix or not. Senses 3 and 4 are even more debatable. Is there a way to tell the suffix apart from the noun in senses 1, 3 and 4? If not, is this perhaps an RFD issue more than an RFV one? - -sche (discuss) 07:47, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

 * I remain unconvinced. DonnanZ (talk) 11:05, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The entry does not even have the PoS-changing adverb sense.
 * In all three of the senses in which -side supposedly produces an adjective, it is easy to argue that it usually produces a noun that can be used attributively, which eliminates those as valid senses.
 * How would the PoS-change argument apply to sidesaddle? Should we have an entry for -saddle? DCDuring TALK 13:19, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It's sense 2: "Forms adjectives and adverbs describing position in relation to a dividing line or other separation." I've made the examples more explicit about this. As for -saddle, it's not productive - there are no other similar words, so sidesaddle is a one off oddity. If there was a whole load of adverbs denoting various riding styles, all ending -saddle, and ideally if it also allowed the production of readily-understood nonce words, then we could consider it as a suffix. Smurrayinchester (talk)

 * What needs doing for this to pass RFV? Three citations for every sense? Trivial but tedious. Equinox ◑ 08:25, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Each sense is attested (and thus now RFV-passed), in that sufficiently many attested words using it are mentioned above. The question, AFAICT, is over whether senses 1, 3 and 4 belong at -side or at side, which — because citations would be identical in either case, and hence citations cannot answer the question — is an RFD question. - -sche (discuss) 23:48, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:hidden

hidden
Tagged but not listed: adjective "that has been hidden". Presumably this is just the past participle. I always feel a bit uneasy about these, as they're sort of redundant to the verb form but as adjectives. Citations like "very hidden" wouldn't clear the matter up anyway, as adverbs can qualify both adjectives and adverbs. So guys, have fun. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:57, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's often hard to distinguish a past participle of a verb from the adjective that describes the state or quality that results from that verb's action. Indeed, this distinction didn't even exist in Proto-Indo-European: a participle was an adjective that described this state of being; the idea of using it to refer to a former action came only later. I would personally like it if English participles could be treated this way too, i.e. as a special part of speech "Participle" that may be both verbal and adjectival. That way we won't have unnecessary definitions, and just the definition 'past participle of X' would automatically include any implicit adjectival senses. 17:23, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * There are two other adjective senses not being challenged. The uncited definition given is exactly the definition wording appropriate for a past participle. The "definition" of the English -ing-form in our presentation is present participle of. Why would we need more? DCDuring TALK 19:43, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

 * It seems that the examples given are covered by the previous definitions. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 10:59, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Although a bit off topic, I support CodeCat's proposal of a POS Participle. This would make even more sense for languages which inflect participles just like adjectives. As long as we don't have that, I don't see a reason to keep the definition in question. Longtrend (talk) 11:34, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. But the definition should be changed: something may be hidden without having been hidden (cf. the example provided: hidden talents). And French inflects past participles like adjectives, but the sense is dfferent: participles refer to the verb action (therefore, they are verb forms), while adjectives refer to a state, a property, not to the verb at all, despite the fact they share the same spelling. This word clearly shows that it's the same for English. Lmaltier (talk) 21:27, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete "automatic ticket stamping machine"; it has very few hits anyway. --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:09, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * As regards "ticket stamping machine", I am inclined to keep regardless of CFI. If "ticket stamping machine" is what you would most often call the thing that, when calqued from German, would be called "ticket devaluator" and that looks like the thing in the picture to the right, it seems worth having in a dictionary. Admittedly, finds nothing, yet  finds a lot of dictionaries, even though it is defined in Wiktionary as "a machine, usually automatic, which washes clothes etc". OTOH, the argument for keeping "washing machine" could be that a machine for washing dishes is not a "washing machine". Using a similar argument, ticket machine would not be a sum of parts, as it is a ticket vending machine. Furthermore, "ticket stamping machine" could be a nice translation target if other languages than the compoundforminglanguage German have a single-word term: French composteur seems to be the case in point. --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:09, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Let me highlight the advantage of translation targets. Given the question 'how do I say "Entwerter" in French?', a translation target helps you get from the German term to the French one ("composteur"). Given the question 'how do I say "ticket stamping machine" in French?' (assuming it is the most common term referring to the thing in English), a translation target chosen as a common term gets you to the French term. Translation targets are unusual in monolingual dictionaries, but useful in a multilingual dictionary. --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:21, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it could be useful, but so could including translation tables for every entry in every language, or full definitions for every inflected form. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Including translation tables for every entry in every language is an option; English Wiktionary has chosen to avoid it. Actually, translation targets is an alternative to that option: if you have translation tables in non-English entries, you do not really need translation targets. Full definitions of every inflected form create a maintenance nightmare, as far as I can see, with very little benefits. Keeping translation targets does not create any maintenance nightmare. I have not seen any convincing argument against translation targets yet, if any argument at all. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:15, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:fittin

fittin undeletion
I proposed we undelete fittin, it is a word that means to scheme, prepare, plan, or anticipate something and is common AAVE, these citations show widespread literary usage over at least the past ten years, interestingly enough it is not (yet?) conjugated/decclenationed and the gerund form is used exclusively. It was summarily deleted while I was still working on it.Lucifer (talk) 19:38, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Haven't looked at this one, but I am reminded of ballin':, which in AAVE has a different meaning from balling:. Equinox ◑ 19:59, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The one citation on my talk page is for fittin', also it's in the present participle form I'm fittin' to. Also it seems to read like "I'm itching to", rather than "I'm scheming to". Anyway... you unwittingly linked to a load of citations that support it being the present participle of fit. I assume that was not your intention. Wouldn't be the first time you've torpedoed one of your own arguments, mind you. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:03, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * See Citations:fittin, fittin', fittin, and fitting (especially the citation). I spent most of the afternoon working on [[fit]]. Though there is a transitive sense of "make ready", it is not used reflexively or intransitively according to all the lemmings I've consulted. But I don't have access to the big lemming (OED). All of these seem very much like fixing (explicit sense) and not much else at [[fit]]. DCDuring TALK 23:51, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is this a common misspelling of fittin'? By way of analogy, do we want jumpin, cookin, failin etc.? Mglovesfun (talk) 22:30, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

 * FWIW, I do interpret "fittin'" as dialect or eye dialect of "fixin'". - -sche (discuss) 23:43, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * But, see the quote at fitting. I wonder if DARE or OED have something about this. It could be read as a "reflexive" intransitive use of fit in the sense of "to ready". "I was readying myself to go", "I was fitting myself to go", "I was fitting to go." DCDuring TALK 00:42, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Which, BTW, is perfectly compatible with a similar reading of "fixing": "I was fixing (myself) to go". DCDuring TALK 00:44, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * And "I was setting (myself) to go". DCDuring TALK 00:47, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:at arm's length

at arm&
This is at + arm's length. [[arm's length]] has figurative senses. DCDuring TALK 20:21, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep "arm's length" here is defined as an adjective. "at" + an adjective doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me - one can't be "at distant" or "at independent". arm's length, to me, seems like a more recent innovation (as in "an arm's-length transaction") derived from the older at arm's length. A Google ngram appears to back this up - "an arm's-length" doesn't become popular until the 1960s, while "at arm's length" appears to peak around 1900. Smurrayinchester (talk) 21:19, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, arm's length says it's an adjective, but the idiomatic usexes are both for the prepositional phrase "at arm's length", showing that in fact, arm's length is a noun. The question is, does the idiomatic meaning of arm's length ever occur anywhere other than as the object of the preposition at? —Angr 21:31, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "Arm's length transaction" is common and other nouns can accept "arm's length" as an attributive modifier. "At arm's length" accepts many terms between "at" and "arm's length" in its figurative senses. The "informal measure of distance" sense is used as many nouns in adverbials like "an arm's length apart". It can be used with prepositions like within, to, from, etc.
 * Arm's length is grammatically an NP, which doesn't exclude it functioning attributively and adverbially. It is also be attestably a true adjective. DCDuring TALK 00:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

 * In Russian, ethnicity adjective + the word are the standard and a more common way to refer to a language (except for language that don't use adjectives, e.g. санскрит, иврит, эсперанто (Sanscrit, Hebrew, Esperanto) etc. Phrases like "speak a language" don't count, an adverb is used in this case - говорить по-английски/по-русски - to speak English/Russian.  is an abbreviation (somewhat colloquial) of, just like nominative (noun) is an abbreviation of nominative case. A Russian textbook would be titled "учебник русского языка", not just "учебник русского". This is a grammatical explanation of how it works in Russian. Even though the pattern is common and predictable, I don't see the need to delete these entries.  (noun, language name) is flagged as colloquial. That's what it is, really. A correct, formal translation of English (noun, language name) is , not simply . Many languages work similarly. See also Requests_for_deletion about Lithuanian. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 22:48, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * In that case there's some clean-up to do. I checked the translations we have for northwestern neighbours of Russian (Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian). Only in the case of Lithuanian there's the word язык in the current Russian translation of the name of the language. --Hekaheka (talk) 23:36, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, I know. Polish translations (far from always consistent either) have been a little bit more consistent and they more often add język (e.g. język polski) in front of the language name (if it's based on the adjective). As I said, this pattern is quite predictable - adjective +, so there was no immediate need to create entries for each language name, so just a blue linked adjective was often used as a translation - a quick solution. It's a bit awkward too. A translation of Finnish (language) - links to an existing adjective, so one can see the declension. "финский язык" doesn't exist. If it were, one perhaps would need to add declension manually. "финский язык" looks ugly, "  (fínskij jazýk) " looks better but doesn't link to ru:wiki. There's no perfect solution here. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:59, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Ukrainian and Belarusian translations are another prove that these are abbreviations. Unlike other Slavic languages, Ukrainian and Belarusian word for language is feminine - мова (móva), so all language names are feminine in Ukrainian and Belarusian as well - "українська мова" (uk), "беларуская мова" (be). The abbreviated translations e.g. "українська" (uk), "беларуская" (be) are not lemma forms, lemma forms (adjectives) are "український" (uk), "беларускі" (be). --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:17, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Firstofall, we arent talking about declension and other Slavic languages. secondofall, our main goal is not to blue all the reds (red not Red xD). thirdofall, I(we) don't doubt aforementioned words being abbreviations (the same thing happens in Georgian). But, to the best of my knowledge, predictable (note that this prediction is different from the prediction that goodly would exist because of good and -ly in that, the former is a (unwritten) grammatical rule, that has no exceptions) words are bound to be deleted. Foourth of all, we wouldn't make an entry just because it a more proper translation--Dixtosa. 15:34, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

 * There's no rule to delete predictable forms. The word past tense is also quite predictable from its component words, it's still a word, very concrete and a more correct form than just "past", which can mean other things apart from the "grammatical past tense". can be understood from its components as well but it's still a more proper word for "Russian" (language) and a more correct and formal translation. I believe the same applies to, even though the shortened  is also acceptable (you are better to judge what's more frequent and formal in the sense of Georgian (language)) but I won't insist on keeping this if you're so eagre to delete it. The Russian Wiktionary may not have entries for full language names, since Russians don't need to be taught how to form a language name but it's educational here and the right thing to do. I have personally added many Russian translations of language names using just adjectives, I explained my reasons above. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:07, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Here's what I think: the translations sections should list a two-word translation like "русский язык" and the adjective русский would need to have a definition like "relating to the Russian people, language, or culture". Because in Russian, languages don't have "names" (except for a few like санскрит, иврит, эсперанто) but they are just phrases indicating the language of some people or culture. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 06:15, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, it's one of the options, as I said, there's no perfect solution. Another option would be . --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:07, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I still think that русский язык is SOP as it is simply referring to the "language of the Russians". --WikiTiki89 (talk) 06:28, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I have already answered this. It seems a matter of preferences among Wiktionarians on what to consider SoP and what not. Is "mammary gland" a sum of parts? ru:wiki has also an entry "молочная железа". What about all grammar case names? nominative case, etc.? Shall we start breaking up Chinese or Japanese language names - or  because in English "Russian language" wold be considered a sum of parts? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 06:46, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I would actually agree that mammary gland, молочная железа, and nominative case are all SOP. But right now we are only talking about Russian and only about language names. The word русский is an independent adjective and the word язык is an independent noun. Putting them together gives you nothing more than you would expect of any other adjective and any other noun. Russian happens to not have "names" for language but just phrases that are used to refer to them. The phrase русский язык is no different from ирландские танцы and говорить по-русски is no different from танцевать по-ирландски. There is nothing special about language-name phrases that we should include them as entries. The difference between "Russian has many French words." and "В русском языке есть много французских слов." is that in English, Russian is a language name, so the word language is unnecessary, while in Russian русский is just an adjective and so the word язык is required (unless it is known that you are talking about languages). --WikiTiki89 (talk) 07:56, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:stick of furniture

stick of furniture
I stubbornly persist in holding that one can have a stick of [X] where X anything possibly made of wood with a negative, meaning something like "the slightest bit". If this is so, this is SoP. See WT:RFV for attestable examples of X. DCDuring TALK 22:03, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * As a set phrase, I think this should have an entry. Spinning Spark  01:20, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * See stick. (I didn't add that. If I had, I would have generalized it to make clear that the term applied to more than furniture.)
 * It is a set phrase only if set phrase does not mean a "phrase" that is "set". If it were a set phrase, then I couldn't substitute terms. Of course there is a need to respect the semantics, so the substitutions are restricted in range. Consider: for stick: single piece or bit; For furniture: wood/furniture/firewood/fuel/lumber/timber/spruce/pine etc. DCDuring TALK 02:04, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Was going to disagree (the examples you give are all specifically types of wood, while "furniture" is more generalised, and wouldn't usually be thought of as a type of wood - and the fact the phrase continues in the modern era suggests that not all the furniture involved is made of wood anyway), but there are a handful of Google Books hits for and one relevant hit for "stick of a chair".  and  found nothing. For mass nouns,  finds 16 hits. Still not convinced how valid this extended sense is:  finds ~39,000 hits - compared to the sparse-to-non-existent hits for the other terms, there's clearly some sort of setness about this. Still, we could do what Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary does, and move this to a sense at stick (I think it's unlikely anyone would look up stick of furniture first anyway).

 * I've seen both stick of and lick of used to indicate (usually in the negative) a complete lack of something, as in not a stick of furniture in the place or she didn't have a lick of sense. But it can be used without furniture, as in not a stick of kindling or firewood, so I would have to vote for deletion.--Jacecar (talk) 10:16, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
