Talk:cold day in Hell

Is this the same as until hell freezes over? D.D. 19:36 Apr 21, 2003 (UTC)

 * Yes, I'd say they are quite similar and parallel in meaning. Not that I think hell is hot, anyway. User:ILVI 2003 Apr 21

Capitalisation
Why is the singular form "a cold day in Hell", but the plural form "cold days in hell"??? (As an aside, should the title of an entry ever begin with an article?) — User:Smjg (talk) 22:43, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Apparently the page was moved from cold day in hell and the person who moved it did not fix the plural. We don't usually start entries with articles but I don't know the exact rules: I think some full-sentence phrases do. I'm inclined to drop the "a" on this one. Equinox ◑ 22:45, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

RFM discussion: June 2011
Move to "cold day in Hell". One can find "cold days in Hell", and various determiners before "day in Hell". DCDuring TALK 04:37, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support, per logic above. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:00, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Usage notes
Risk management and risk mitigation experts (such as actuaries, systems engineers, and others) generally do not approve of calling motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) "accidents", because they advisedly reserve that term for things not directly caused by human recklessness or negligence. Because it is predictably obvious (and directly causal) that distracted driving (e.g., texting, IMing/DMing, videogaming, or intoxication while driving) produces MVCs, those MVCs are not "accidents". Nonetheless, among the general public, MVCs are quite often called "accidents" rather than "crashes" or "collisions", not only by idiomatic inertia but also because connotatively, it steers clear of broaching the topic of blame assignment, whereas a phrase like "he crashed" connotes blame.

Pregnant women's "water"
Before the child is born, the pregnant woman's waters breaks - I'm not familiar with this in the plural, only in the singular, which contradicts this page. 70.32.17.16 00:00, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * One thing that I found iteresting was that she seemed to be cleaning out her bowels all afternoon-little piles very often, right up to just before her waters broke.
 * Her waters broke 15 minutes after my husband drove up with my 14 yr old daughter.
 * http://www.plus-size-pregnancy.org/BBWBirthStories/bbwsupersize.htm
 * PROM = Premature Rupture of Membranes; when waters break before term or before labor
 * SROM = Spontaneous Rupture of Membranes (when the waters break on their own)
 * She found labor tolerable until the doctor broke her waters at about 3 cm, and then contractions became very intense and nearly continuous (very common occurrence).
 * Midwife discovers that my bag of waters had not completely ruptured and may have been delaying the baby's drop into the pelvis.
 * I arrived at the hospital some 16 hours after my waters broke and had managed to induce contractions using nipple stimulation for a half hour in the car on the way in.
 * It seems to be used in both singular and plural. — Hippietrail 00:41, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Can someone tell what does "Albanian ujë, Ancient Greek ὕδωρ (hýdōr), Armenian գետ (get, “river”)" have to do with other etymological words?Dixtosa 09:17, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I know that Greek ὕδωρ comes from Proto-Indo-European *wodr̥, which was the genitive of *wednós (water). Armenian underwent a big change in its phonology, and գետ is from Proto-Indo-European *vedo- from *wednós (where *ved- became "get"). Albanian also underwent extreme sound changes, and ujë is from Proto-Indo-European *wed- from *wednós (where *we- became "ujë"). So all of these words, along with English water, Spanish agua, French eau, and Russian вода, ultimately stem from Proto-Indo-European *wednós (water). —Stephen (Talk) 09:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Spanish and French  come from PIE, not from , and  is one possible genitive of , not the other way round. —Angr 14:13, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

"I can feel it in my water(s)"
Plenty of Google Books hits, mostly with water rather than waters - is this worthy of a definition? Would the root be in one's water, feel something in one's water, or what? 81.142.107.230 10:50, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Did you hear it or read? I wonder where it is used and/or when it was used. It might be worth including in some way. Thanks. DCDuring TALK 13:48, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I've definitely heard this, it's commonly heard in the popular Australian comedy show 'Kath & Kim', that's where I know if from but I think it's a fairly common phrase in some places as a synonym for 'to feel it in ones bones'. I'm for its inclusion if that's still being considered. 2WR1 (talk) 06:59, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * We would probably enter it as feel it in one's water (or waters if that's more common), with redirects from some other tenses and fuller phrases. DCDuring (talk) 18:42, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep somewhere. This seems an unusual use of water or Water. I don't think, for example, that it is ever used in the US. DCDuring TALK 22:51, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * DCDuring, there is a countable sense for water meaning 'body of water' per Widsith. That's what it refers to in the title of various lakes. In fact their not lakes at all - they are waters. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:59, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Is the definition inaccurate, in that there are "waters" outside the Lake District that have proper names that include "waters"? Is there anything in real life about the "waters" of the Lake District that is distinctive? Is this use of "waters" something regional, so someone from the Lake District would call "waters" bodies of water of similar characteristics that had a proper name not including "waters"? DCDuring TALK 16:18, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * No, the Lake district "Waters" are usually just called "lakes" by everyone except local pedants. I've never heard Windermere or Bassenthwaite Lake or Tarn Hows called a "water", except in the general sense that they contain that liquid.    D b f  i  r  s   13:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * (later) Quote from The Westmorland Gazette (the main local newspaper of the Lake District) November 3rd, 2011 Page 43: about Wast Water " ... depth of 258 feet, making it easily the deepest lake in the whole area."   D b f  i  r  s   11:11, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep until such time as someone adds a "body of water" sense that would account for this. Preferably with a cite or two. Note that we do currently have a "body of water" sense, but it's tagged as "in plural", and its sole cite is not terribly convincing IMHO. —Ruakh TALK 01:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have copied a sense from MW 1913: "A body of water, standing or flowing; a lake, river, or other collection of water.", with a citation. This might subsume the "plural" sense mentioned above. DCDuring TALK 03:19, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I definitely don't think we should keep it. Reword it, ok sure, but not an outright keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There exists a plural-only sense that means something like, "water that is in a body of water"; see for lots of examples of it. Our current "in plural" senses seem like failed attempts to capture that sense. —Ruakh TALK 23:31, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you are onto something. Some OneLook dictionaries have something like it, but don't seem to quite duplicate what you suggest. I don't think your sense includes the other plural senses though. DCDuring TALK 01:43, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

While we are deleting such interpretations, could we also delete the sense at lake where "lakes" could mean any collection of lakes (including the Great Lakes) and not just the Lake District.

RFD 2
Rfd-sense: (uncountable) Tap water, or well/pump water, as opposed to bottled water.

Added by an IP here. I have serious trouble considering this separate from the general sense 1. In the example sentence given (Do not drink the water.), there isn't really anything that semantically distinguishes tap water from bottled water - you could fill a well with bottled water and the writing would still hold true. -- Liliana • 18:00, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * What the context of the usage example (not the usage example alone, let alone the word "water") usually implies is a definition such as "that local-source water that possibly might make one sick (whether tap water or other water, such as locally bottled, unpurifed water, or possibly local well water from low-lying wells)." Another definition might be: "water that is likely to be inhabited by bacteria (or other contaminants) to which the auditor is unlikely to have developed a resistance or tolerance." Another definition might be "the locally sourced water". Or it might just mean "any water around here" or "the water the auditor is likely to drink". That seems like context or, from another point of view, encyclopedic content. In fact, that definition presupposes knowledge on the part of the auditor of the current generally accepted theories of infection from such sources, sanitary conditions, and the economics of local water supply and other beverages.
 * At the very least we need more diverse illustrations of this purported sense, preferably from durably archived sources. DCDuring TALK 23:18, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's plain wrong; I think the idea is that statements such as "You shouldn't drink the water here", "The water's bad here", etc. often implicitly mean tap water and exclude bottled water. However, whether this usage requires or justifies a separate sense is doubtful in my opinion. 86.186.9.168 13:31, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Makes sense to me. It would be a subsense except I've rarely seen that here. Keep. DAVilla 05:27, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

RFD 3 (Afrikaans)
The Afrikaans noun water currently has six senses, which were just copy-pasted from Afrikaans Wiktionary. Many are redundant, some look outright wrong ("A disease where water is accumulated"? Really?). I suspect they can be merged into one or two senses at most. -- Liliana • 17:57, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep all: It's quite possible "water" means something different in Afrikaans than it does in English Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 20:36, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep all unless you can show that those meanings don't exist in Afrikaans, and don't just look funny. --Tyrannus Mundi (talk) 20:49, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This isn't a good nomination, redundant senses should be named specifically (X is redundant to Y) and the disease one is an RFV matter. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:51, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If you say so: all definitions are redundant to 1: water. It's especially obvious if you compare it to Dutch (immediate sister language) which manages to need only one definition, as well. Well okay, here's some comments:
 * 2: This is I think misguided. You could call hydrochloric acid water just by its similar appearance, but that doesn't justify a definition of water to mean "hydrochloric acid".
 * 3: Same as 1, water.
 * 4: Same as 1, water.
 * 5: Unless someone manages to prove me the opposite, I stand by my motion that this is a completely wrong definition. Nobody would say that a person suffers from "water".
 * 6: Same as 1, water.
 * -- Liliana • 20:59, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * "Nobody would say that a person suffers from 'water'." Not in English they wouldn't, but it certainly seems plausible to me that someone might say it in Afrikaans. The corresponding definition in the Afrikaans Wiktionary gives watersug as a synonym, which I assume corresponds to German Wassersucht meaning edema. I don't know Afrikaans, so I can't say for sure that you can say Hy hê water to mean "He has edema", but it wouldn't greatly surprise me. —Angr 22:33, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Plus even English has conditions like "water on the brain", "water on the knee", "water in the ear" - "water" as a condition doesn't seem odd at all (though I don't know any Afrikaans, so I don't know if it's a good def). The fact the Dutch entry is shorter than the Afrikaans one is not necessarily a sign that it's better. The Dutch Wiktionary page on water has quite a few senses we don't have - including fluids in the body. If nothing else, noting that Afrikaans has the same water-waters distinction that English has seems like useful information, and I don't see any problem with noting that colloquialisms are cognate across languages (merde and Scheiße mean shit in both the literal and figurative senses, but just having one definition that read "shit" wouldn't help our users much). Smurrayinchester (talk) 08:28, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:23, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete sense 2; any term can be used to describe something which is similar. Keep sense 3, 4 and 5 (might need a rewrite, current definition is very weird). Move sense 6 to waters (the Afrikaans wiktionary doesn’t have entries for plurals, and their definition for this sense starts with Waters:). Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 16:14, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with all of that, apart from sense #2 which might be considered idiomatic to an Afrikaans speaker. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:10, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

liquid water
I agree with Smurray's edit, and that ice is still water in one sense. But I think that "water" is sometimes used specifically to refer to the liquid, as distinct from "ice" (solid). Should there be a subsense of the first sense which accounts for this? - -sche (discuss) 22:45, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. — Ungoliant (Falai) 03:33, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

 * NB, a lot of the Native American- and some other- translations probably only refer to liquid H2O (i.e. the definition which was in the entry when the translations were added). Because the translation-table gloss was never changed from "clear liquid H2O", the translations continue to be in the right place... but we now have the option of adding a new translations table above that one, with the definition of the new first sense (H2O in any state) as its gloss, in which to duplicate a lot of the translations and further increase the size of the page. :) - -sche (discuss) 18:52, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

However, transcribes the word for water as šiwe ~ šiye instead, and this is what The Indo-European Elements In Hurrian says: "The spirantization of *[b] has evolved to the point of yielding an assimilation to *[j] with the preceding vowel -i-, as in  =  ‘water’. [...] *[siwi] 103 ‘water, river’ EL šiye <ši-i-e>". siwi would be 𒅆𒃾 and šiye i.e. ši-i-e would be 𒅆𒄿𒂊. - -sche (discuss) 21:36, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Whoever added the Urartian translation may have taken it from [//www.bulgari-istoria-2010.com/Rechnici/Urart-gloss.pdf this glossary], but I think it may be in error. An article in the 1906 Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain argues that Vannic (Urartian) "niki-du" is "to make libations" (borrowing Assyrian "niqe", "libations"), noting that ideographic A-MES means "water", and arguing (against dissent) that "pili" also means "water" rather than "canal". More recently (2005), Christian Girbal translates "nikid(u)" as "to lead into", "A.MEŠ" as "water", and "pili" as "canal". Both are discussing passages which, when translated, mention "water", which may have been what lead the glossary to identify "nikidu" as "water". Girbal is (citing Salvini 2002) translating the Stele von Gövelek, lines 3-4 (A.MEŠ is at the very end of line 3, ni-ki-du is the second word of line 4) and 16 (A.MEŠ is the second word, ni-ki-du the third). A.MEŠ = 𒀀𒈨𒌍.

Do not confuse 月 with, a form of when used as the left-hand radical of a character. is used for parts of the body such as or. These may be written identically as 月, but in careful use they are distinguished, with the inside of ⺼ being written with unattached diagonal strokes. This is particularly an issue in looking up characters by radical; compare the 月 index and 肉 index.

Older/orthodox forms such as the Kangxi dictionary forms may additionally distinguish components that are related to neither nor, such as e.g. ,  or  where the two horizontal strokes  would be written as two unattached dots  instead. Also, the bottom part of components would be written as. The orthodox 月 and components, while similar, would still be distinguished slightly: they both use horizontal strokes, but  connects them to the  shape on both sides, and 月 only connects them on the left side.

Etymology 1
From, whence also , 🇨🇬 (whence 🇨🇬), 🇨🇬 (STEDT).

Various alternative etymologies have also been proposed:
 * proposes cognation with 🇨🇬 (as in and ), which  connects to 🇨🇬. However,  points out that the Tibetan word may be analyzed as a derivative of 🇨🇬, which would mean the semantic connection between “moon” and “face” had to occur either independently in Chinese and Tibetan or in Proto-Sino-Tibetan; it also requires positing a suffix  in Chinese.
 * proposes another etymology based on the glyph for (reconstructed as ), which he analyses as a phono-semantic compound of phonetic  and semantic . He suggests that the phonetic component represents a lost word, and reconstructs 月 as  (consonantal frame of “moon”) +  (suffix) > . However, there are more straightforward ways of explaining the glyph origin of  (see there), which would nullify the hypothesis of the lost word.
 * Related to in some way.
 * derives 月 from : . Also in this proposed word family is . The semantics of this word family is centred around "to pass; to elapse". While seems supportive of this word family, STEDT reconstructs 🇨🇬 for  and, separate from the root for 月.
 * reconstructs the 🇨🇬 as and puts it in a word family formed from a Chinese root, having a meaning of "circularity" or "circular boundary". This proposed word family includes , as in "to cross the enclosure of the village", and , as in "out of the enclosure of the village".

Since this is the English Wiktionary I would make three entries, one for every language and then only point to the English translation(s).
