Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/wed-

Etymology
Possibly related to Proto-Uralic, the source of Finnish and Hungarian. The nature of the relationship is unclear and controversial; the word may have been borrowed from Proto-Indo-European into Proto-Uralic, or the reverse. A minority of linguists suggests a common origin from an even earlier proto-language, Indo-Uralic, but this is not generally accepted.

In Proto-Indo-European, the active elemental was contrasted with the passive, similar to the opposition of the active "fire"  with the passive.

 * ... hvorpaa den Onde igjen satte ham ned paa den sondre Side af Kirken ved en Kilde, som kaldes Korskilde, og selv satte han sig et lille Stykke derfra og saa' paa Skrædderen med sine gloende Øjne.
 * From page 311 of Grundrids til en historisk-topographisk Beskrivelse af det gamle Konge-og Bispesäde Roeskilde:, 1832:
 * Den nærmeste Kilde, den vestligste i Byen, netop inden for Byens Grændser, er hellige Korskilde, i det sidste Aarhundrede kaldet Kongens Kilde.
 * From page 462 of Hoiesteretstidende, 1895:
 * Den 4 Januar d. A. anmedlte Mejjeriforpagter Lund, at der den foregaaende Dag var frastjaalet hans Hustru Cludine Madsen udner et Besøg paa Korskilde Mejeri, en Pelsværksbue, der havde hængt paa en Knagerække i en Gang.
 * The term may be archaic, even obsolete, but it does appear to exist in citable quantities. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 19:19, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, before the 1948 spelling reform, the first letter of both nouns and proper nouns was capitalized. But in all three examples, Korskilde is used a proper noun. There is a spring in Zealand named Korskilde ~ Hellig Kors Kilde and appearantly one in Jutland, too. Korskilde does exist as a proper noun, though. As far as I can see, the Google Books search only shows the use of Korskilde as a proper noun. If any citations pops up with a substantival use of the term, I would say that the term is obsolete. --ContraVentum (talk) 19:54, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Aha. Thank you for clarifying.  Perhaps move the entry to, then?  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 21:01, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If it's a proper noun the inflections would still need to be deleted, I think. Donnanz (talk) 21:06, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Re-reading the googits, the Jyske folkeminder one looks like a regular noun. Or am I misreading it?  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 21:14, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Translated, it says (...) next to a spring, named Korskilde, and then he (...). I think the entry could be moved to with a definition like A name of several Danish springs. And the inflections should be deleted, as Donnanz suggests. --ContraVentum (talk) 21:24, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Derp. My brain was jumping linguistic tracks on the  and rendering that as English  instead of .  Thank you again.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 21:30, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This seems to have been dealt with here, but, for future reference: If you want a term deleted because it doesn't exist in a language, the proper venue is Requests for verification. This forum is for cases where there shouldn't be an entry, regardless of usage- usually because it's a phrase whose meaning is obvious from the meanings of its parts. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:28, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * ContraVentum genuinely thought that it should be deleted, and shouldn't be chastised for that. Donnanz (talk) 22:02, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No chastisement intended, just providing information. It's a very common mistake for first-time posters. I only get annoyed with those who have been participating for a long time and should know better- and even then only when it seems like they're trying to chastise others for stating what should be obvious, rather than checking to see if they're right. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:42, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, the headings for RFV and RFD are ambiguous and don't make that clear. I have been confused by them myself. Donnanz (talk) 09:00, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:erotic massage

RFD discussion: January–April 2015
I'm really on the fence about whether this is SOP or not. WF gave it a definition that seems non-SOP, but if you think about it, that's just summing up the most obvious way a massage could be erotic, but not necessarily idiomatic. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:15, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking through the Google Book hits, the first 30 all refer to massage which is erotic. However I think there might be an idiomatic sense, sex acts in exchange for money, can we cite it? Renard Migrant (talk) 20:27, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see idiomaticity in our current "idiomatic" definition. I don't see how adding money to the picture would make it idiomatic. An X is an X, whether you pay for it or not. --Hekaheka (talk) 00:58, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

bu
Hi there. An online Italian dictionary defines bu as a Japanese unit of length or area. I can't find this definition in any English form. Can you confirm it? SemperBlotto 09:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * See the following pages on Japanese Wikipedia:
 * Length: 歩 = 6 尺 = 1.818 m
 * Area: 歩 = (6 尺)2 = 3.306 m2
 * Decimal: 分 = 1/10
 * The decimal 分 can be used with other units, such as 3 寸 5 分 (3 inches 5 tenths = 3.5 inches) and 3 錢 5 分 (3 cents 5 tenths = 3.5 cents). — T AKASUGI Shinji 10:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Texas hold 'em
Names of games are usually closer to being proper nouns than common nouns. They do not have plural forms, are not countable, and are a name of a thing. It's in a fuzzy area, but for our purposes, I think it fits better under Proper noun. --EncycloPetey 04:52, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I just followed poker and hold'em. It is inconsistent to treat Texas hold 'em as a proper noun and the rest as nouns. — T AKASUGI Shinji 05:06, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's been a point of debate, and I've been actively researching the philosophy and linguistics behind the difference between proper and common nouns. I'm of the opinion that all names of games ought to be proper nouns, However, I haven't finished writing down my ideas (soon, I hope to finish), and there isn't community consensus one way or the other at the moment.  You are correct to notice the inconsistency, but for the moment, games are in the grey area between the two types of nouns until the community agrees one way or the other on how to classify them.  --EncycloPetey 05:09, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I know there is no clear boundary. I’ll wait for the community decision. I think, however, names of games are more like abstract nouns, just like baseball and basketball. — T AKASUGI Shinji 05:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

grammar question
Hi Shinji, sorry to bother you but I was wondering if I could ask a question about grammar: The category Category:Japanese adnominals claims that adnominals (連体詞) are often formed by adding -的 to another word, but I don't think so. I think -的 is really -的な, it only forms -な adjectives, and it is not an adnominal. For example, 最終的な is a -な adjective but 最終的 is just an abbreviated form of the same word, not a 連体詞 like あの, いわゆる or たいした. Do you agree? Thanks Haplology 11:11, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You are right. I believe they are talking about words with -的 directly put before another noun, such as 根本的解決 (fundamental solution). However, grammatically speaking, they are rather nouns combined with another noun than adnominals, because you can't insert anything between them; you can't say *根本的すばらしい解決. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 13:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

one-night stand
Hi,

Thanks for removing my previous Japanese translation but I'd appreciate a bit more active editing, it doesn't have to be fully idiomatic but a very close description would also do, IMHO (there could be cultural and usage differences). When I added やり逃げ originally, the meaning used in a manga was very close to "one-night stand" but I know it normally means "having sex with a woman and then going away". Since I am not a native speaker, I sometimes have to do some analysis and checking before adding a Japanese translation, I could use some guidance. You could also use the template to clarify the meaning or usage if a translation is only an approximation and there is no 100% equivalent. --Anatoli 05:35, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Sorry, forgot to mention. I added two Japanese translations, which seem to match closer the English meaning, although not used so frequently and not so idiomatic. --Anatoli 05:37, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The two phrases you have added are correct. I didn’t add them myself when I edited the article, as they are not so idiomatic. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 05:44, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

うち
Just saw your edit under the Pronoun heading -- is sense 5 really distinct from sense 3, "内, 中: (Kansai) (informal) I, me (used by women and girls)"? -- Curious, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 01:26, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Among the five senses, senses 1, 2, 4, 5 have no accent: while sense 3 (Kansai) has an accent on the first syllable: . I don’t know from which sense sense 5 is derived, sense 1 or 3. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 02:09, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, that's interesting. I know very little about pitch accent and how it affects etymologies -- for instance, do pitches differ by region with any regularity, do they undergo any patterns of change over time, are they affected by euphony, etc. etc.  Thank you also for reminding me to pay attention to pitch accent; I shall add this to entry pronunciations where I can.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 05:51, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I've broken out the senses at by pronunciation as an experiment.  Do you think this approach is acceptable?  WT:AJA doesn't say anything about pitch accent or how to account for it.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 06:17, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * English entries may have several pronunciations, as our dictionary is spelling-dependant and not IPA-dependant. Just like them, having two pronunciations is not strong enough to separate the entry of うち. The pronoun うち of the Kansai dialect clearly shares the same etymology. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 07:41, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I was unclear -- would you object to grouping under Pronunciation 1, Pronunciation 2, etc. within the same etyl? -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 08:12, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I wanted to say that we shouldn’t separate them. I prefer the previous version. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 15:40, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. The main differences from the older version you linked to are: 1) I put the Kanji header at the top, which is where it belongs on single-kanji entries; 2) I formatted some of the compounds and the derived terms; 3) I added the etyl "From OJP"; and 4) I added the pronunciations -- one above the Noun header, one above the Pronoun header, based on WT:ELE and WT:AJA.  So to make sure I fully understand you, do you mean you prefer not having the pronunciations at all?  Or not marking the pitch, so both have the same pitch-less IPA?  The current format at 内 has the noun and pronoun under the same etyl.  We could put pronunciations all in one place, but that makes it harder to tell which pitch goes with which sense...  -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 20:19, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Your addition is all right. I just don’t want to separate two senses. I have added pronunciations to うち. What do you think about that? — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 23:47, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Your edit looks good to me too, at least for small pages like うち where everything fits on one screen. I don't know if it would work so well on longer pages, where the user would have to scroll up to see the pronunciation, then scroll back down to find the sense that matched the pronunciation.
 * Incidentally, our talk here prompted me to ask a question over in the Grease Pit, and that prompted a bit of a discussion, now at Grease_pit. -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 00:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Q about entry とも

 * That is a single word. See 共 (goo dictionary). — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:36, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd missed that this was pointing to a single-kanji entry. I'll reformat accordingly.  -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 02:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Q about entry 我が
This one too. SOP in your view? -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 23:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That is also a single word in modern Japanese. You can’t use wa alone. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:36, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning, as wa ga is clearly wa + particle ga, and one cannot use ga alone, yet it's still treated as a separate word with its own etymology and usage. That said, I do now see this listed as a 連語 in the two JA-JA dictionaries I have to hand.  I'll add the etymology and a usage note.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 02:49, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The alternative spelling of 我が is 我, which is also pronounced わが - also 吾が and 吾. I don't know if 我が can be broken up into parts, I think it's one word and が is not a particle here but part of the word but I don't have a source to confirm it. わ is another reading of 我 and 吾 but they mean something else. --Anatoli (обсудить) 03:12, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The presence of a reading for a kanji does not necessarily say anything definitive, given the flexibility of Japanese spelling; for instance, can be spelled, but the unwritten り in the latter spelling is still the conjugated verbal ending.  I'm looking at Shogakukan and Daijirin right now; Shogakukan states that the  in  is the particle (Daijirin doesn't say anything either way, but then Daijirin tends not to give any etymologies at all), and both give both  and  as alternative spellings (i.e., identical in meaning).  If you have a source stating otherwise, I'm all ears.  :)
 * That said, I'm happy for the entry to stand as a single-term lemma.  appears to have been a productive term in old Japanese that has become fossilized in modern Japanese, existing solely on conjunction with particle .  I have reworked the entry to say as much, explaining the derivation in the etymology section.  Please have a look and make any edits as you see fit.  -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 03:36, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Etymologically speaking, it is clearly wa + ga, but as I said, it is a single word in modern Japanese. You cannot replace wa or ga with another word. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 03:55, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I have a suspicion, suspicion only, that is not the usual Japanese "ga" particle but a borrowing from the Middle Chinese with the "sense" of  (possession).  sounds strikingly similar to Cantonese  - a possessive marker and Japanese  may be derived from a version of Chinese, which gacve rise to Cantonese . Worth exploring this option? Character  is not used in standard Mandarin and the original possessive character may not be the same in the Middle Chinese. --Anatoli (обсудить) 04:46, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The particle が was originally a possessive marker, as in 君が代. I don’t know whether it is from Cantonese, but I think that is very unlikely. Cantonese must not have had an influence to Japanese then, as both languages were equally peripheral, the northern Chinese being central. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 06:03, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I only made a Cantonese example as it is too related to Middle Chinese, like Mandarin. Some features are preserved in Cantonese better than others from Classical or Middle Chinese and verbs like 走 and 食 are used the same way as Japanese 走る or 食べる, whereas modern Mandarin uses 跑 and 吃 instead. Phonetically it's easier to link Cantonese to Japanese, than Mandarin to Japanese since Cantonese has preserved final consonants. As for possessive marker, Mandarin uses 的 or classical 之, which can't be linked to Japanese "が" at all but with 嘅, it is a remote possibility but not direct, since it is a modern, not a Classical particle. --Anatoli (обсудить) 06:28, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know Cantonese preserves Classical Chinese words better than Mandarin. That is a typical center/periphery distribution. And it is possible が came from Chinese, because 我が家 seems redundant compared to Korean, in which you say 우리 집, without a possessive marker. But 嘅 is a complicated character with the radical 口, which means it is pretty new and dialectical. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 06:47, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

A few things:
 * 1) Takasugi-san, I realize now that I had misunderstood your first reply to me.  I apologize for my confusion.
 * Thank you for fixing the romanizations for on the  page.  Are the わがえ and わがいえ readings similarly set phrases?  Should these be romanized as wagae and wagaie?  Or, as waga e and waga ie?
 * 1) Anatoli, interesting theory.  However, given the very stark typological differences between the Japonic and Sinic language groupings, that borrowing strikes me as perhaps unlikely -- borrowing a word for a noun or verb is not that unusual, but borrowing a word that serves a purely grammatical function seems to be much less common, at least in what I've read so far.  As Takasugi-san notes, が was a possessive marker between two nouns in OJP, so any such borrowing would have had to have occurred quite some time ago, and considering how being on the Japanese islands would have isolated speakers of OJP and even earlier forms of Japanese from speakers of Chinese, the borrowing would presumably have to be even earlier than the Yayoi migration from the mainland.  However, my impression from historical reading is that Chinese speakers had less contact with the northern ethnic groups the further back in time you go.  Still, it's certainly worth looking into.  :)
 * 2) Takasugi-san, the  entry also gives the abbreviated form .  I'm not as familiar with Korean as I'd like to be, but I wonder if the full  form is not in fact a compound of  +, the subject particle similar to Japanese が, as given at 이.  (Incidentally, Korean also has  as a subject particle for use after vowels, but I do recall reading that this appeared in Middle Korean and may have been adopted by influence from Japanese, or possibly from a different Korean dialect.)  If  is a compound of  + , then we have a parallel construction in both languages, and also an explanation for the apparent lack of a particle after the  in modern KO   -- i.e., there actually is a particle, , only it's being used as a genitive / possessive marker between two nouns, much like OJP .  This potential archaic use of  is something I'm currently looking into.
 * Moreover, there is a demonstrable common sound shift between KO and JA, as seen in hanja / kanji, where hanja readings ending in have kanji readings ending in  or ; if this sound correspondence extends to older borrowings / cognates, then KO  may in fact be cognate with JA.

Anyway, fun discussion, many thanks to you both. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 19:34, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * As for 我が家, わがや is a single word in modern Japanese because it has a single-word accent (HLL+L) and you cannot insert a pause, while わがいえ is a combination of わが and いえ because it has a two-word accent (HL+LH+L) and you can insert a pause. I have never heard わがえ as it is archaic and I think we can’t judge in modern Japanese.
 * As for the Japanese influence on Korean, I also think 가 may have been borrowed from Japanese. It appeared in Korean really late, perhaps after the, and the paradigm 가/이 is unusual compared to 를/을, 로/으로, 와/과, etc., and Korean needed a new nominative marker at the moment as 이 after a vowel disappeared by assimilation or contraction (나이 → 내, 너이 → 네, etc.). — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:18, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Korean terms derived from Proto-Altaic
From what I heard, the "Altaic theory" or whatever has lost support right? Perhaps there is something you could do with these etymologies? User: PalkiaX50 talk to meh 12:57, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Do you have any authors I could follow up on?  I'm currently working through Ho-Min Sohn's The Korean Language, in which Sohn describes the Altaic theory as the most likely of several alternatives.  But then again, the book was published in 1999, and later research no doubt has something more to say.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 21:24, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The Altaic theory may be most likely but is not proven yet. The problem is that the current entry of 물 explains its etymology as if that were proven. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 09:04, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Aha, thank you for the explanation. The etymology at 물 could certainly use some qualifying words.  I'll edit the etym shortly; have a look and make any changes as you all see fit.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ <small style="position: relative; top: -3px;">Tala við mig 18:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

IPA dots and Japanese "syllables"
Hello Takasugi-san --

I just saw your edit here on the セックス page, and have a question. I had understood that the IPA dots were used in Japanese phonemics to mark morae. Given that Japanese is not syllabic but rather moraic, this made sense. But perhaps what I learned was in error? -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ <small style="position: relative; top: -3px;">Tala við mig 08:44, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * There may be some linguists who use dots to separate morae. As you know, syllables are not so important as morae in Japanese. In IPA, however, dots are used to separate syllables, and because we are making a multilingual dictionary, we should follow the international convention. We sometimes see /n̩/ with the syllabic diacritic (U+0329) for ん, but it is also incorrect as ん forms not a syllable but a mora. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 06:41, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand your concerns about multilinguality, but I also note that the goal is to present each language's entries accurately. Since Japanese is not syllabic, then marking syllables is misleading.  I also note variant usage on the Japanese_phonology page, with dot notation used to mark syllables in phonetic transcriptions in the Japanese_phonology section, but also some instances of morae marking in phonemic transcription in the Japanese_phonology section, and in the Japanese_phonology section.  I'll check my resources again.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ <small style="position: relative; top: -3px;">Tala við mig 09:40, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Syllables do exist in Japanese; they are just less important than morae. In addition, separating syllables by dots is clear enough to know morae, because a short vowel forms a mora, a long vowel forms two morae, and a coda forms a mora. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 04:19, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

 * They are productive in casual speech, like 엔 (← 에는), 에선 (← 에서는), 보단 (← 보다는). — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 02:59, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * If there were too many of these, perhaps a redirect to the entry without the particle? I don't expect a flood of such entries, anyway. The entry explains what it is and how it's formed, so I don't see any problem even if they are kept as are. One important argument is that the word is merged with the particle. You can't simply remove it to get to the lemma form. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:12, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It may be useful to have combinations of function words and ㄴ: 난 (← 나는), 넌 (← 너는), 전 (← 저는), 건 (← 거는), 엔 (← 에는), 에선 (← 에서는), 보단 (← 보다는), -긴 (-기는), etc, but not this case, I think. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 03:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * We do have gonna, gotta, helluva, must've, we're, etc. They are colloquial merged forms. You don't have to create those forms NOW but why delete what is there already?

 * We have gonna, gotta, etc. because they are fused enough and their number is limited, while we have decided not to have forms with ’s except one’s, for the exactly opposite reasons. The article of 아버진 will in fact help readers understand its construction, but it is still a sum of parts.

竜涎香 vs 龍涎香
Hi,

What is the preferred title for an article on ambergris in Japanese? Is there still preference to use kyūjitai in some cases in Japan? What are they? I see even the Chinese Heilongjiang (in Chinese: / ) province is called  in Japanese where the first two characters are Japanese-specific. I'm asking because I tried to rename and global replace 龍涎香 for 竜涎香 on the Japanese Wikipedia and the change got reverted. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:45, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * They are interchangeable, and according to Google 龍涎香 is more common. Although 竜 is the simplified character, there are many cases where 龍 is used instead. As for the renaming, Japanese Wikipedia usually requests a discussion before renaming. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 05:28, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Thank you. It seems that simplification is not strictly and always followed in Japan. I also noticed that is probably more common than . As for the Google hits, 龍涎香 is also the Chinese spelling, no wonder there's more (I don't think you can restrict the search by language any more, unless you add a Japanese character into the search). I have searched using "龍涎香"  は and still got more. So, you're right, thanks again. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 05:36, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I surely added a Japanese character when I searched them. The simplification is almost always followed; exceptions include 竜, 欠缺, 證券, and family names. 篭 is an unofficial character and 籠 is recommended. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:23, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Is that really obsolete? Or perhaps just archaic? My understanding of the context labels here might be a bit muddled -- I thought "obsolete" means that the term isn't used, and has probably been replaced by another term. still generates a respectable number of hits, with apparently relevant hits even from Google Images showing up. Was this term a fad word that has since gone out of vogue? If so, do you have any rough dates for when this was more 流行っている? If this term has been replaced, do you know by what? TIA, -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:35, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Most of the Google hits seem shop names. I don’t know when exactly, but the word was completely out of fashion in the 1980s. Today you could probably use 後ろ美人, 後姿美人, 見返りブス, etc. but none of them seems popular according to Google. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:54, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the detail! Okay then, I suspect this should be flagged as  instead of, with maybe a note in the etym section or a usage note explaining that this term is, as you put it well, "out of fashion".

これらの etc. at Template:Japanese demonstratives
I'm curious; これらの seems to decompose into これら + の in a way that この clearly doesn't (at least, not in modern JA). Moreover, I can find no other JA-JA dictionary that lists これらの (other than some medical dictionaries, which list it as alt for コレラの, i.e. ), and the only JA-EN dictionary I can find that lists it is Kenkyusha.

Then again, perhaps you mean only that we should have entries for これらの etc., even if they are sum-of-parts, in order to have clear translation targets for EN terms like and ? -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 18:01, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Particles in romaji
Heya, just saw your changes to itsu mo. Particles in romaji are written separately, even for set phrases, so I re-added the spaces. C.f. tsune > tsune ni, itsu > itsu mo, kore > kore ga. It's a bit like how articles are used in English, with the space between. I know some analyses prefer a more synthetic and enclitic approach, but broadly, in almost all non-high-academia works I've seen that describe romaji use, particles are spelled with a space before the preceding term.

Removal of 形容動詞 from 妖怪
Takasugi-san,

I'm curious why you removed the  section from 妖怪. Shogakukan's Kokugo Dai Jiten lists the second sense of this term with a 形容動詞 POS. Poking around suggests that this usage might be limited, but I do see what appear to be relevant hits, like "妖怪な表情" or "妖怪な男".

Pitch accent on 朝鮮

I couldn't find a Japanese sound recording for. What's the pitch accent pattern? In the Japanese Wiktionary, there's "ちょ↗ーせ↘ん". Is it the same as - 中高型? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:13, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, seems to be 頭高型 (for all senses) but is it [so̞ːɾ̠ɯᵝ] or [so̞ɯᵝɾ̠ɯᵝ]? If I use automatic IPA it would be the former but it sounds like the latter and the current IPA shows /souru/. CC: . --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:22, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, has an accent fall on the third mora せ. The lowering of the first mora is not clear if the second mora is ー, ん or っ.
 * As for, I pronounce it as ソウル, not ソール, but the difference is hard to detect. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 10:02, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have updated . If it's pronounced [so̞ɯᵝɾ̠ɯᵝ]， then it could be added to Category:Japanese words with nonphonetic spellings? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 06:27, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I might be misunderstanding what you say but it is a phonetic spelling. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 13:15, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I haven't added the category yet. By the current rules, which are also used by the transliteration module, any お row + う is transliterated as "ō", unless, they belong to different morphemes, like 小馬 (こ.うま) or it's a verb ending - as in 思う. If ソウル is pronounced "Souru", not "Sōru", then it must be an exception, unlike other borrowings with o+u, like ノウハウ, which is pronounced "nōhau". The category name is misleading, though, it should be something with "irregular pronunciations" like Category:Russian terms with irregular pronunciations. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 15:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * ノウハウ is nouhau, not nōhau. Katakana words require ー for a long vowel. Rather, オウ pronounced as オー is irregular, such as ボウリング, which is commonly pronounced as bōringu rather than bouringu. The following words are also interesting: ゲイ (gei) vs. ゲーム (gēmu), ペイ (pei) vs. ページ (pēji). — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 15:42, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * According to NHK 日本語発音アクセント辞典 (omitting the pitch accent here) ノウハウ is pronounced ノーハウ, same with ボウリング pronounced ボーリング, for ソウル (only gives the "soul music" sense) pronounced ソウル. The audio recordings confirm these pronunciations, they are quite clear. Even if we transliterate ノウハウ as "nouhau" and ボウリング as bouringu, the question is, what is considered a regular pronunciation (not transliteration) for katakana オウ - long "ō" or "ou"? Also pinging, --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:08, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I pronounce ノウハウ as nouhau. ノーハウ is something like the old-fashioned デー for D instead of the modern ディー… — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:18, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, we can always add multiple pronunciations, despite what NHK or other dictionaries say or prescribe. My question remains unanswered - for katakana words (loanwords), do we consider ō or ou the standard regular pronunciation of "オウ"? Are they both standard regular? If not, then, which one is irregular. Obviously "オウ" rather than "オー" is meant to render "ou" in foreign languages but it seems that it's not always working. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:05, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Capitalisation of common nouns within proper nouns
Hi Shinji,

Do you think that parts of proper nouns - rivers, cities, peninsulas, etc. should be capitalised in the romanisations? I prefer "Tai ōkoku" to "Tai Ōkoku" (タイ王国), "Tài wángguó" to "Tài Wángguó" (泰王國/泰王国). Dictionaries have different conventions on this. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:15, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * They should be capitalized in Japanese. NHK always uses Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai. In Korean, if we strictly follow the standard, the common nouns should remain in small letters. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:18, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Are there any exceptions? I've seen hyphens, followed by lower case words in dictionaries e.g. "Temuzu-gawa" (テムズ川) What are other rules - demonyms, language names, names of religions, -isms (e.g. Marxism) for example? Things that are capitalised in English but necessarily in other languages? I think we have an agreement to have them in lower case - nihonjin, nihongo, kirisutokyō, marukusushugi. So, Korean, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese may differ in the rules. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:27, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * In your example, -gawa is considered a suffix, and not capitalized. I don’t know why you use lower case for 日本人 and 日本語. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:56, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * You must have been away from what's happening here. Romanisation Language names and demonyms are lower case and that's not my invention. Do you see it as an issue? Ping: . --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:44, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Not sure the "rule" on this, as it were, but I've seen both capitalised and non-capitalised. For example, China is zhōngguó in 现代汉语规范词典 and moedict.tw, but Zhōngguó in MDBG and Wenlin. But I do know two things 1) it is more useful for users to capitalised proper nouns as it makes the sense stand out compared to other parts of speech 2) we already do this, and we should maintain this consistency.
 * To answer your original question, I don't think it matters a whole lot as long as at least the main word in the term is capitalised. For example, I added Cháoxiān Bàndǎo, but I don't think adding Cháoxiān bàndǎo would have made much of a difference for users. Still, we could decide on a rule and stick with it for the sake of consistency. ---> Tooironic (talk) 01:48, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Clearly languages have different rules, like French Republic and République française. We tend to judge according to English rules of capitalization. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:56, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

 * @Tooironic I'm more certain for demonyms, language names, names of religions, -isms - they should be lower case in Japanese, Korean and Vietnames - Min Nan lect often follows English conventions - Iû-thài-kàu for . Wenlin has more inconsistencies about this. My preference is "Cháoxiān bàndǎo" (I saw your edit) but I have stopped working with pinyin - it's a bot job, including homophone data in the module. Let's follow NHK for Japanese only, besides, the transliteration is 100% automatic for Japanese, except for spacing and capitalises proper nouns automatically. Country, city, people's names should be capitalised, no prob with that.
 * @Shinji, I don't want to follow English, just what's best for languages in question. Russian uses lower cases much more often as well, Finnish even more. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:59, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I think they should be also capitalized, just like in English. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 09:17, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I have tried to get you in Wiktionary_talk:About_Chinese on Mandarin romanisation but it was brushed off as not important or ignored. We can, of course, separate the discussions for specific languages. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:44, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

 * The hierarchy has the main goal at the top level, Level 0, as “Product Sustainability.” Level 1 has three sustainability aspects: environmental impact, economic impact and societal impact. Each of the three elements of Level 1 is divided into the four life-cycle stages of the product, at Level 2 in the hierarchy. At level 2, (enPM, EnMn, EnUs and EnPu) denote environmental aspect of pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, use and post-use stages, respectively. Similar classification has been done for societal (SoPm, SoMn, SoUs and SoPu) and economic (EcPm, EcMn, EcUs and EcPu) aspects.
