A scan of the top 200 results from a books.google search for 'clockwork orange' -book -film -kubrick -burgess still had about 190 items where CO was capitalised, presumably referring either to the book/film or to robots, bands, etc named after them.  Of the remaining few, the following used the phrase as described: [] & [] and perhaps more could be found by someone appropriately programmed.

 * Archaic? Ha'p'nies may no longer be legal tender, but like brass farthings they're not erased from our minds! (OK I just made up that shortening, but since we've always pronounced halfpennies like that I wonder why we stuck to the long spelling -- maybe someone called Featherstonehaugh (pronounced "Fanshaw") insisted on it.) --Eng in ear 18:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Well-known work, rfv removed, feel free to add more though. DAVilla 16:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * More added. Also, sense as stupid person removed as incorrect -- certainly, daft ha'p'orth means (usually between friends) a stupid person but it is daft that means stupid while ha'p'orth is merely the use of halfpennyworth in its figurative sense, to mean item of little worth. If that needs an extra sense, it should be listed under halfpennyworth rather than under ha'p'orth but I feel it's adequately covered by the halfpennyworth Usage note. --Eng in ear 18:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Restoring this sense... when I call someone a "daft ha'porth" this is indeed a figurative sense, extending the first meaning. Note that "daft pennyworth", "daft twopennyworth", etc, do not exist.
 * Furthermore, it belongs under "ha'p'orth" rather than "halfpennyworth" as that is the usual spelling. — Paul G 09:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair comments. The previous def irritated me by saying that ha'p'orth meant idiot, when actually it only means worthless person, with daft etc adding the silly sense. I still don't like the present def, but can't think how to improve it further without overcomplicating, so have left it.
 * It is by far the most common verbal usage of ha'p'orth, even in London 200 miles from its roots, but for some reason is hard to find cites for (compared with other generally verbal phrases). --Eng in ear 18:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

With my Yorkshire background I know this word as a'pth (sic) (Haypath without the H and without the second a). I should think that most English (or even British) persons imitating a 'yorkshire' accent (there are many) would be able to rely on "y' daft a'pth"  to get them started! Along with dozy a'pth these are often gentle or even loving reprovals within family and friends. (81.157.118.213 14:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC))

RFV discussion: May 2018
Sense:
 * 1)  A foolish person.

Per the inline comment, this has been discussed before, but I don't find the conclusion of that discussion very satisfactory. The usage note says "Use in the colloquial British sense of 'a foolish person' is usually modified with an adjective such as daft or silly" (my emphasis), but I would suggest that it is always used thus. For this definition to survive as currently worded, I suggest that citations in which the word is used in the relevant sense without any such adjective should be provided. Mihia (talk) 02:32, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

 * So cited. Only one, but it shows that the term can be used without the "daft" or "silly". Kiwima (talk) 04:19, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, fair enough, thanks. My feeling is that the cited usage could be a back-formation from "daft ha'p'orth", but this theory is kind of hair-splitting and unprovable anyway. Mihia (talk) 13:10, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:could care less

Surely not. Jooge 20:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but not exactly - to say "I could care less" implies that I could, but not by much, making it effectively a synonym of "I could not care less." bd2412 T 20:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Redefined to avoid being loopy. Pardon my pun. bd2412 T 20:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * This is very hard to find citations of use for; the first couple pages of books.google.com all point to usage guides prescribing against using this form of the cliché (while at the same time acknowledging that it is very common.) In informal writing and speech in America, the other synonymous cliché "couln't care less" is rare.  Apparently, in formal writing, it is about a 50/50 split...accoding to some of the usage guides I peeked at.  (Note to self: next time I need a quick, broad list of usage guides, repeat this search.)  --Connel MacKenzie 08:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Malapropism
Although often used in error both in speech and print, this is a malapropism; however, an editor chose to edit war and remove this information in this edit. If one "could care less" it would mean that s/he cares quite a bit, but if one couldn't care less (the appropriate phrase) it would mean that s/he cares so little that it would be impossible to care any less. That is the precise definition of malapropism. Please restore the fact that this is a commonly used malapropism to this entry and use "Discussion" rather than edit warring. 71.66.97.228 23:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Whatever its origin, it's clearly not a malapropism, a mistaken substitution of one word for another to "absurdly inappropriate" effect. Snarkibartfast (talk) 12:30, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Your source for this? Equinox ◑ 12:32, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

 * It simply doesn't match the definition of a malapropism. A malapropism is when you pick the wrong word(s) by mistake, e.g., "I resemble that remark!" (instead of "resent"). "Could care less" is a commonly used idiom, even though some people don't like it: people who use it aren't trying to say "couldn't care less" and accidentally getting it wrong, they are using the form they have heard. The comment should be removed, unless a strong, reputable source clearly supports it. Snarkibartfast (talk) 12:57, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Also, even if it were a mistake, it wouldn't really be a typical malapropism, since that normally involves using a word you don't know very well, so that you get it confused with another word, or sincerely misunderstand its meaning, or have difficulty pronouncing it. None of that applies to "could"/"couldn't". Rather, it would be an example of a misnegation, where you lose track of how many negations you've used (in this case, "couldn't" and "less), so you end up saying the opposite of what you meant. However, again, this is certainly not why people are saying it now, and it's not a very convincing explanation of how this form of the expression arose in the first place, either. Snarkibartfast (talk) 13:11, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Not at all clear that this is a malapropism
The Etymology section currently reads in full:

"Clipping of "couldn't care less", which is literally accurate (having no ability to care less). It is a malapropism, due to the literal meaning of this version being the opposite of the meaning."

But where I suspect this phrase originated — Brooklyn, New York — sarcasm is deeply embedded in how people speak. I grew up nearby and often heard the phrase used with sarcasm, in other words, deliberately meaning the opposite of the phrase's literal meaning. Just as when people say "That's just wonderful," when they mean the exact opposite.

By now, I suspect, users of this phrase are unlikely to have given much thought to its possibly sarcastic origins. But they know its place in the language: its ultimate meaning and its sarcastic connotations.

Conclusion: It may be entirely mistaken to believe this phrase is a malapropism — an error — when it very well may have arisen in the same way as "That's just wonderful" did.Daqu (talk) 17:26, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Interesting idea, but whereas somebody might genuinely say that something was wonderful, nobody would inform you that they actually "could care less" about something than they do. For that reason it seems unlikely to me. Sarcasm doesn't just involve negating a phrase, but in saying a (normal, believable) phrase that isn't really meant. Equinox ◑ 19:22, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, for what it's worth, I just learned by googling that Steven Pinker has the exact same take on the phrase as I (independently) do, in The Language Instinct and in a 1994 New Republic article. To quote him:

 * "A tin ear for stress and melody, and an obliviousness to the principles of discourse and rhetoric, are important tools of the trade for the language maven. Consider an alleged atrocity committed by today's youth: the expression I could care less. The teenagers are trying to express disdain, the adults note, in which case they should be saying I couldn't care less. If they could care less than they do, that means that they really do care, the opposite of what they are trying to say. But if these dudes would stop ragging on teenagers and scope out the construction, they would see that their argument is bogus. [Here PInker tries to illustrate typographically the difference in stresses and rising and falling tones, which I cannot reproduce in Wikipedia.] The melodies and stresses are completely different, and for a good reason. The second version is not illogical, it's sarcastic."

 * When this was written in the 1990s, it was a bit off to attribute the phrase to "today's youth", since the phrase was already widespread among kids in Brooklyn in the 1950s, and apparently became nationally widespread in the U.S. by the 1960s.)Daqu (talk) 17:26, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

 * P.S. Equinox, sorry I overlooked your point. But I'm not sure I agree with it.  There are plenty of sarcastic phrases that immediately distinguish themselves from non-sarcastic speech, even ignoring intonation:  "Sure, sure!", or "That's great, that's just great!","Oh, I certainly believe that!" and others.Daqu (talk) 17:55, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Quotations
The first two quotations used in the article, found on Google Books and supposedly from 1936 and 1947, were misdated. The first was from a collection of The New Yorker, but had the wrong volume number: 12 instead of 82 (the quotation is from the November 13, 2016 issue). The publication info has since been updated on Google. The other was from the records of hearings of a congressional sub-committee. Here, Google doesn't provide the volume information, and seems to be using the year the sub-committee was formed, 1947, as the publication date. However, the congressman being quoted, Fred Schwengel, was not elected until 1955. From what I can make out of the cover, this particular volume is in fact from 1963. I have therefore removed both references. As far as I know, linguists and lexicographers have not been able to find print evidence of the expression any earlier than about 1960. Snarkibartfast (talk) 12:48, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Pathetically bad article
This article is pathetically bad. Its definition is simply wrong. ("I could care less" does not translate in any sense as "I lacking in interest" or "I having apathy towards.")

And its claim that this is a malapropism is certainly not universally accepted, but instead remains debated among experts. As I mentioned earlier, Steven Pinker (in two places) states that the expression "I could care less" is sarcasm. So, the article should at least acknowledge that the malapropism theory is only one of two major points of view, rather than erroneously asserting it as established fact.

падонки

Etymology
A deliberate misspelling of Russian по- ("a bit") + дно ("bottom") + the diminutive suffix -ок, plural -ки. Various unregulated spellings exist.

Noun

 * 1)  padonki (Internet riff-raff, a Russian-speaking Internet subculture that employs alternative spellings for comic effect, and which delights in the use of profanity and obscene subjects.)
 * Example:
 * Standard: "Я отпра́вился в магази́н за хле́бом, где встре́тил краси́вую де́вушку, поговори́л с ней о любви́ и пригласи́л в го́сти."
 * Padonki: "Йа атправился в могозин за хлебам, где фстретил песдатуйу пелотку, розкрыл с ней тему йэбли и преглосил на пару палак чаю."
 * Translation (of the standard wording): "I went to the store for a loaf of bread where I met a beautiful girl, talked to her about love and invited her over."
 * Translation (of Padonki): "I made my way to the store for a loaf of bread where I met a fucking hot chick, broached the subject of fucking and invited her for one or two fucks (i.e. cups) of tea." (untranslatable, puns on words are used and words are deliberately misspelled and distorted)
 * Standard Russian spelling of padonki vulgar sentence: "Я отпра́вился в магази́н за хле́бом, где встре́тил пизда́тую пило́тку, раскры́л с ней те́му е́бли и пригласи́л на па́ру па́лок ча́ю."

really? All those definitions were just reverted with no reason?

it's a definition, not some work of prose. and it was cited, too.

 * It's many definitions. And citing your sources is always nice, but doesn't really lessen the copyright violation.

User:Pathoschild/Wiktionary:Style guide (entries)

Naming
The page should be named after the words it defines, in the exact case and style (for example, i.e., ie, and IE are different pages). The template should be placed at the top of the page linking to definition pages with very similar names, as well as under language sections for similar words in that language.

Categorization
A category is a group of related articles which are automatically listed on a category page. Several templates exist to automate categorization, as described in the sections below. Note that effort is being made to standardise usage and placement, so they should be less complex in the future. For help creating and using categories, see the category style guide.

Categories automatically categorise pages by the title in case-sensitive alphabetical order; this means that Aspirin and aspirin will be probably be on different pages. If the title starts with an uppercase letter, it should be forced to categorise with the lowercase words by "piping" the category link (for example, by placing on Aspirin).

Interwiki links
An Interwiki link is a link to an article of the same spelling in another Wiktionary. There is usually no need to add interwiki links, as that is done automatically by a bot. These links use the syntax . Interwiki links should be placed at the very bottom of an article in alphabetical order. For help adding interwiki links, see m:Help:Interwiki linking.

Interwiki links in translation sections that are intended to be clickable must be prefixed with a colon (ie, lc:title instead of lc:title ). This forces it to output a normal wikilink.

Language
A second-level language header notes the language of the word in question. The first header is "Translingual", for terms that are the same in all languages. The second header is "English", since this is the English Wiktionary. Any other languages are sorted after that in alphabetical order.

Definitions
The word definitions are divided by part of speech, the key descriptor of lexical function (noun, verb, preposition, et cetera). In addition to traditional parts of speech, there are headers for initialisms and suffixes, idioms, phrases, and proverbs.

English definitions should use the appropriate templates (see below). Documentation can be found on the template talk pages for unusual cases.

Adjective

 * 1) Blah.

Noun

 * 1) Blah.

Verb

 * 1) Blah.

Basic layout
The example below shows the main headers from mother-of-pearl. Note the text passed to template:en-adj and template:en-noun ("-"); this means that the word is not comparable (ie, one cannot be 'more mother-of-pearl') and not countable (one can't have two mother-of-pearls). It's a good idea to read the documentation for the template if the simple template (" ") doesn't output what you expect. You can also ask a question on the template talk pages if you don't understand.

English template documentation and discussion:
 * adjective
 * noun
 * proper noun
 * verb

Adjective

 * 1) of or like mother-of-pearl; iridescent or pearly.

Noun

 * 1) The hard pearly inner layer of certain mollusk shells; nacre.

Non-English definitions
Entries for terms in other language should follow the standard format as closely as possible regardless of the language of the word. However, a translation into English should normally be given instead of a definition, including a brief note to indicate which meaning of the English translation is intended. There should not be a translation subsection.

Some languages do have characteristics that require variation from the standard format. For discussions of these variations, see Language considerations.

Additional content
There is additional content that is useful on Wiktionary beyond the basic information. You can ignore these if you don't have the necessary expertise, resources or time.

Order
The following order and format is recommended, but variations in that order are allowable. In general, information about the word itself goes first; about the meaning second, and about other words, usage notes, or references third.

Alternative spellings Pronunciation (including hyphenation, rhymes, homophones, and audio files) Etymology Noun Proper noun Verb Usage notes Synonyms Derived terms Related terms Synonyms Antonyms Translations References External links

Etymology
Etymology (which shows the origins of the word) should be written in readable English, with no abbreviations or shorthand. Languages should be linked, words linked and italicized. Sometimes the same word has different etymologies for different meanings; they should be distinguished with a paranthetical italicized note about the context.

For example, the following etymology from poopy shows two origins of the word. If there was only one origin, the list and paranthetical note could be left out.

Etymology

 * (noun) baby talk variant of poop (excrement).
 * (adjective) Originated 1957, perhaps by shortening nincompoop or as a euphemism for shitty; see poop.

Pronunciation
The pronunciation section provides information related to pronunciation, hyphenation, rhymes, et cetera. The country [(UK), (US), (Australia), et al.] is first if there is regional variation, followed by the pronunciation system (such as SAMPA or IPA), a colon, then the pronunciation. (See Wiktionary:Pronunciation key for an outline of these two systems.) The phonetic transcriptions are normally placed between diagonal strokes. While there is a natural bias in favour of established systems of pronunciation, it is not wrong to use an arbitrary representation if that’s all you know and there is an important point to be made. For the word reject, one could have /RE-ject/ and /re-JECT/ to make the important distinction between the pronunciations of the the noun and verb forms. It may not be standard, but neither is it wrong. Whenever possible, however, such ad hoc pronunciations should be replaced with one in an unambiguous system, such as IPA.

Ideally, every entry should have a pronunciation section, and perhaps a sound sample to accompany it. However, pronunciations vary widely between dialects, and non-linguists often have trouble writing down pronunciations properly. UK English pronunciations should give the Received Pronunciation of the entry.

For audio pronunciations, upload the Ogg file to Commons and link here using Template:Audio.

A typical pronunciation section may look like the following example based on the word portmanteau:

 * (UK) IPA: /pɔːtˈmantəʊ/, SAMPA: /pO:t"m{nt@U/
 * (US) SAMPA: /pOrt"m{ntoU/.

Lists of other words
Lists of other words include alternative spellings, derived and related terms, and synonyms and antonyms. These should be in list form. If there are multiple lists for different parts of speech or meaning, these should be noted with one bullet and the list below as second-level bullets.

For example, see this text from awake.

Antonyms

 * adj. conscious
 * asleep
 * unconscious

 * v. to gain consciousness
 * awaken
 * wake up

Homophones
List any homophones of the word in alphabetical order, wikifying each one. For example, the Pronunciation section of the English word "right" contains the line

 * Homophones: rite, wright, write

which results in

 * Homophones: rite, wright, write

which are the English words that sound identical to "right".

If a word is a homophone in a particular dialect of English, it may be added provided the dialect is referred to (for example, ride is a homophone of right in accents with flapping, and beater is a homophone of beta in non-rhotic accents). Examples (for "beater" and "right", respectively):

 * Homophones: beta (in non-rhotic accents)
 * Homophones: rite, wright, write, ride (in accents with flapping)

The following must not be added to the homophones section:

 * Words that are "nearly" homophones or rhymes (for example, for "right", the words "white" or "light");
 * Words that are homophones if they are mispronounced in some way (eg, for "miss", the word "myth" when pronounced with a lisp);
 * Foreign words. These are unlikely to be true homophones (eg, Italian tipi (meaning "types") is not a homophone of English tepee; the sounds of the vowels and consonants are similar but different).

(Note that the term used here is homophone; the term homonym used by some is ambiguous as it can mean either "homophone" or "homograph".)

Rhymes
Add a link to the page in the "Rhymes" namespace that lists the rhymes for the word. So, for example, on the entry for "hat", add the line

 * Rhymes: -æt

to the code. This displays as

 * Rhymes: -æt

Do not list the rhymes themselves on the page you are editing.

The part of speech or other descriptor
This is basically a level 3 header but may be a level 4 or higher when multiple etymologies or pronunciations are a factor. This header most often shows the part of speech, but is not restricted to "parts of speech" in the traditional sense. Many other descriptors like "Proper noun", "Idiom", "Abbreviation", "Phrasal noun", "Prefix", etc.

Inflections
We give a word's inflections without indentation in the line below the "Part of speech" header. There is no separate header for this. For uninflected words it is enough to repeat the entry word in boldface. Further forms can be given in parentheses. For a noun this will simply be word (words). For an adjective this will appear as hard (harder, hardest). For a verb you may use end (ends, ending, ended). Templates are available at inflection templates for those who prefer this technique.

Definitions
The definitions are the most fundamental piece of dictionary information but do not have their own header. They are simply added in one big block, line after line, each beginning with a number sign ( # ). Each definition may be treated as a sentence: beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop. The key terms of a definition should be wikified.

Headings after the definitions
These headings generally derive from knowing the meaning of the word.

Quotations

 * Main article: Quotations

Quotations are generally placed under the definition which they illustrate. If there is more than one being provided, or where this is not possible (e.g., a very early usage that does not clearly relate to a specific sense of the word), a separate section should be used. Quotations here are formatted normally but without definition numbers.

 * 1561: Platypus, Odes
 * The hrunk it hrunketh every day.

Usage notes
This section, whether identified by a heading or indent level may come anywhere. It should follow as closely as possible after the point that needs explaining. Curb the tendency to be long winded in this section; brief explicit notes tend to be more effective. These notes should not take the place of restrictive labels when those are adequate for the job. Be prepared to document these notes with references. Remember to describe how a term is used, rather than try to dictate how it should be used from your point of view.

Synonyms
This is a list of words that have similar meanings as the word being defined. They are often very inexact.

Where several definitions of the English word exist, synonyms should be given in a separate list for each meaning.

The following approach is suggested:
 * 1) Summarise the definition for which synonyms are being given, putting it in italics between parentheses, followed by a colon.
 * 2) List the synonyms for this definition, in alphabetical order and separated by commas, wikifying each synonym.
 * 3) Use one line for each synonym, beginning each line with a bullet.

The synonyms section for “hrunk” might look like this (the synonyms are also made up):
 * (flrink with cumplus): flrink, pigglehick
 * (furp): furp, whoodleplunk

An experimental alternative is offered by WikiSaurus entries. Instead of listing many synonyms in each of several synonymous articles, a single reference can be made in each to a common WikiSaurus page. See corpse, body, WikiSsurus:corpse, Wikisaurus:body for examples.

Further semantic relations
The following headers are available to define sections containing semantically related words other than synonyms: Antonyms, Hypernyms, Hyponyms, Meronyms, Holonyms, Troponyms, Coordinate terms, See also.

Each of these sections is formatted exactly like the Synonyms section (see above). More detailed information can be found on Semantic relations.

Translations

 * ONLY add translations that you are CERTAIN of. If you aren't familiar with a language, or aren't sure of a particular translation, it is far better not to add it than to risk adding an incorrect translation.
 * NEVER use automatic translation software to generate translations from English into a language you don't speak. Automatic translations into English are likewise problematic. Translation software rarely gives accurate results.
 * DO NOT COPY from translating dictionaries (bilingual or multilingual) as this may constitute copyright violation. This applies to dictionaries both in print form and online.  Dictionaries that are out of copyright may be used.

Translations are to be given for English words only. In entries for foreign words, only the English translation is given, instead of a definition. Any translation between two foreign languages is best handled on the Wiktionaries in those languages.

The translation section is separated into a number of divisions that are keyed to the various meanings of the English word. Each division begins with a summary of the translated meaning in bold letters.

In each division, the languages for which translations exist are listed in two columns by their English names in alphabetical order. The language name is preceded by a bullet (generated by * ) followed by a colon and the translations into that language. The language names of regional languages, dialects and recognised artificial languages may be wikified. The two columns are obtained by adding the template just before the first language,  halfway down (which is typically, but not always, between the languages beginning with A-I and those beginning with J-Z), and  at after the last translation.

Wikify each translation by enclosing it in double square brackets. This will create a link to that word in this Wiktionary. Links to the Wiktionary for that language, and references for the translation should be on that other page rather than in the translation list. If the translation is exactly the same as the English word one should link to the appropriate language section of the page by using an anchor ( # ) as demonstrated in the French translations in the example below.

If a word is translated into a language that does not use the Roman alphabet, it is helpful to add a transliteration or romanization. Note however that only widespread romanization systems may be used. See Transliteration.

If appropriate, follow the translations of nouns by their grammatical gender using the templates, , and  for "masculine", "feminine", "neuter" and "common" respectively. Similarly for adjectives.

Do not add the pronunciation of the translation or detailed grammatical information: such information should be provided on the page for the translation itself.

If there are multiple translations, give each of them in full. For example, for the German for "ankle", which is Knöchel or Fußknöchel, write: rather than just combining the two as "(Fuß-) Knöchel" or similar, which is liable to be misunderstood.
 * German: Knöchel m, Fußknöchel m

Now an example (a shortened version of the entry for orange) illustrating some of the conventions:

Noun
orange
 * 1) The fruit of the orange tree.
 * 2) The reddish-yellow colour of an orange.

Translations
fruit of the orange tree

 * French: orange
 * German: Orange

 * Japanese: オレンジ (orenji)
 * Russian: апельсин (apelsin)
 * Serbian
 * Cyrillic: наранџа, поморанџа {
 * Roman: narandža, pomorandža

colour of an orange

 * German: Orange
 * Hebrew: כתום (katom)

 * Latvian: oranžs

Take care when translating idioms and phrases. Most idioms do not translate word for word. Ensure that your translation is an expression that is actually used in the target language. For example, the idiom "none of your bee's wax" cannot be translated into German literally as "nicht mein Bienenwachs." An idiomatic translation is "nicht dein Bier" (literally, "none of your beer," which is not idiomatic in English). Do not give literal translations back into English after the translation. While this information may be of interest to the reader, it belongs on the page for the translation itself.

Descendants
List terms in other languages that have borrowed or inherited the word. The etymology of these terms should then link back to the page.

Derived terms
List terms in the same language that are morphological derivatives. For example, the noun driver is derived, by addition of the suffix -er, from the verb to drive. If it is not known from which part of speech a certain derivative was formed it is necessary to have a "Derived terms" header on the same level as the part of speech headings.

Related terms
List words in the same language that have strong etymological connections but aren't derived terms. Each such term should be wikified. For example, datum and data should point to each other in this section since the latter is the plural of the former, and the plural form is not obtained by morphological derivation but was taken directly from Latin (where it is a morphological derivation). Another example is the pair of nouns pendant and pennant. These should cross-reference each other as they have very similar (arguably identical) etymologies in some subsenses.

Anagrams and other trivia

 * Main article: Anagrams

Anagrams may be entered in alphabetical order under a level 3 header ===Anagrams===. Only list anagrams that are words in the same language. You may include the alphagram which is not wikied unless it is itself a word. For post, the anagrams section would look like this:

 * opst - (alphagram)
 * opts
 * pots
 * spot
 * stop
 * tops

Other sections with other trivia and observations may be added, either under the heading "Trivia" or some other suitably explanatory heading. Because of the unlimited range of possibilities, no formatting details can be provided.

User:Pathoschild/Wiktionary:Style guide (categories)

Naming
The category name should use sentence case— first letter capitalised, subsequent letters lowercase except for normal exceptions like proper nouns. Where relevant, category titles should be plural (for example, "Category:Animals" and not "Category:Animal").

Category page
All category pages should contain a brief explanation of the category, and be themselves categorised. Where a large number of subcategories share the same purpose with minor variations, it is possible to transclude the parent category description page with a variable. For example, see how Category:English abbreviations transcludes Category:Abbreviations with the variable "English".

Tutorial
Many templates automate categorisation; please see the section on categorisation in the relevant style guide (for example, see the style guide on dictionary entries for dictionary entry categorisation).

To include an article in a category manually, add a category tag. The list of articles on the category page will be alphabetized in the strict Unicode order of the titles unless you dictate otherwise. One effect of this is that all English articles beginning with a capital letter will be listed before any that begins with a lower case letter, which is not desireable. You can fix this problem with a piped link; placing on Aspirin will categorise it under a instead of A.

Placement
Categories should be placed in alphabetical order at the bottom of the edit box, above any interwiki links. The exception is discussion pages; categories should be placed at the top so users don't accidentally post new comments below them. Placing these tags consistently simplifies maintenance and editing.

Wiktionary:Style guide

The Style Guide's principal function is to make the dictionary consistent, no matter how many editors are on the team or how long the dictionary takes to compile.
 * —Sue Atkins & Michael Rundell, Oxford Guide to Practical Lexicography, pp. 390-391

Flexibility
The style guide presents widely supported standards, but it is not a set of rigid rules. You may experiment with deviations, but other editors may find those deviations unacceptable, and revert those changes. They have just as much right to do that as you have to make them. Be ready to discuss those changes; if you want your way accepted, you have to make the case for that. Unless there is a good reason for deviating, the existing practice should be presumed correct.

Related policies and style guidelines

 * Entry structure is defined in Entry layout.
 * Guidance for formatting entries for words in specific languages can be found in Category:Wiktionary language considerations.
 * Guidance on formatting and style for specific parts of an entry:
 * Quotations
 * Etymology
 * Pronunciation

General considerations
In general, Wiktionary favors a minimalistic approach. Entries should not be more complex than necessary. Content should not be added unless it adds value for some identifiable group of users. Avoiding unnecessary clutter and complication aids in the portability of our data, and helps to ensure that our entries will be usable to as wide a community of users as possible.

For the same reasons, it is expected that entries will maintain as high a level of consistency as is possible to do while still respecting the complexity of the lexicon.

Varieties of English
Preferred English spelling and usage varies widely from one country to another. As an international dictionary, Wiktionary does not privilege one variety over another. However, it is expected that an entry should be internally consistent – generally favoring either Australian, British, Canadian, US, or some other standard usage – and that entries should not be edited for the sole purpose of changing from one language variant to another.

Quotation marks

 * Wiktionary favors the use of double quotation marks (" " or “ ”) rather than single ones (' ' or ‘ ’). Single quotes are normally used only when one quotation is enclosed within another.

 * There is currently no consensus regarding whether to use plumb quotes (" ", ' ') and apostrophes (') or typographical quotes (“ ”, ‘ ’) and apostrophes (’).
 * Wiktionary usage places any terminal punctuation outside the quotation marks, unless it is actually part of the quote.

Parentheses
Parentheses should be used in definitions only for the purpose of identifying the selectional restrictions of the headword in the current sense:

 * 1) To lead (a group)
 * Jones here will head the team.

Any other direct uses of parentheses should be avoided. The only parentheses used outside of definitions should be those generated by special-purpose templates such as /, /, and / (see below).

Commas
Authorities and preferences differ over the appropriateness of the. Use in place of a literal comma before the last element in a list to allow users to decide whether to show or hide this punctuation.
 * → red, white, and blue

En dashes
A discussion exclusively regarding whether entries with en dashes (–) in titles should be created has yet to occur, but there seems to be no consensus. Entries have been created by multiple users, some as alternative forms of entries using hyphens (e.g., ).

Italics
Adding italics to the headword if that is the only form used seems to be supported (e.g., “Palko test”). If there is more than one form (e.g., “Zelda-like” or “Zelda-like”), there is no consensus regarding whether the form with the italics should be included.

Per consensus (80% support) italics should be used in labels and usage examples, which are themselves in italics, for titles of works that are usually italicized (e.g., “” should be “”). This results in italics within italics, i.e., the title of the work being in roman (normal) type.

Styling templates
Wiktionary has a number of templates used to style explanatory text. These templates are intended to convey semantic rather than purely stylistic information, and should be used instead of raw styling with italics, parentheses, and such. Doing so allows the user to control the styling through preferences and CSS declarations (see also WT:CSS). The following is a short guide to their usage. When there is a separate short and long form, the short form is normally preferred for purposes of conciseness.

The following templates are used to style links to other terms that are mentioned in a page. They should always be used for links to foreign-language terms, in place of raw links, and in most cases will automatically include a transliteration of the term if it is in a foreign script. As above, the short forms are preferred for conciseness.

Definitions
Definitions should be concise. Only in rare cases should a definition consist of more than one sentence or sentence fragment.

Types of definitions
Most definitions on Wiktionary are either full definitions or glosses. Full definitions, which are preferred for English terms, explain the meaning of a particular sense in detail. Glosses, which are preferred for non-English terms, simply point the user to one or more English translations of the term.

A full definition should start with a capital letter. Because a definition is not normally a complete sentence, opinions vary on whether it is necessary to end a full definition with a period. However, in the current editing practice most definitions end with a period.

A simple gloss should not be capitalized and should not end with a period.

Example of a gloss:
 * Katze: cat

Example of a definition:
 * cat: A domesticated species (Felis silvestris) of feline animal, commonly kept as a house pet.

For defining non-English words, glosses are strongly preferred. In general, a full definition should be provided only where a foreign-language term has no satisfactory English equivalent.

For English words, full definitions are strongly preferred, although a vote for English terms to start with a capital and end with a full stop ended in no consensus. Even in the rare case of true synonymy, a gloss for an English term should be formatted as a definition:
 * # Cat

A definition should provide sufficient information for the user to both understand and use the word correctly. However, where the considerations surrounding use are more complex than can be summarized in a single sentence, they should be moved to a usage note.

In addition to the above types of definitions, some terms, such as function words, cannot be adequately defined in either of the above ways. The definitions used in this case are termed “non-gloss definitions”. To provide stylistic differentiation of these definitions, enclose them inside or its shorter form. Example:
 * because :
 * because :

Words in definitions
The use of technical and obscure words in definitions should be kept to an absolute minimum. For senses that are not labeled as technical, it is preferred to use words from the lexical core, such as is defined in the General Service List and Academic Word List. When it is necessary or useful to use less common words, these should always be wikified.

Patterns
Definitions may be written according to either a prototype pattern or a genus-species pattern. In either case, the key information should be placed as close to the beginning of the definition as grammar and elegance permit. Formatting the entry in this way will assist casual users in quickly locating the information they need.
 * General patterns

Definitions of verbs should begin with “to”.
 * Verbs
 * To walk like an Egyptian.

Definitions of nouns should begin with a definite or indefinite article. Usually an uncountable sense will take a definite article, while a countable sense will usually take an indefinite article.
 * Nouns

 * Gerundial nouns

Avoiding circularity can be difficult in defining gerundial nouns. It is tempting to define departing as:
 * An occasion on which departing occurs.

But this is likely to frustrate the user who does not realize the link leads to a separate entry, or who is using a non-wikified mirror. It is better to define it explicitly in terms of the verb, using a different form:
 * An occasion on which someone or something departs.
 * After all of the day's arrivings and departings, we were quite exhausted.

Some older dictionaries that have been imported into Wiktionary use a style of adjective definition that begins “That”:
 * Adjectives
 * That has a yellow color.

However, a more concise construction is better:
 * Having a yellow color.

 * Pertainyms

There is a large class of adjectives that have been traditionally defined by the phrase “of or pertaining to X”. Because the word pertain is not in wide use in contemporary English, it is better to use “related”.
 * lexicographical: Of or relating to lexicography, the writing of dictionaries.

 * Adjectives in -like

In most cases, these can be defined in terms of the possible.
 * Resembling a cat.
 * There was a large, catlike animal moving across the plain.

If the term has a particularly strong association, a two-stroke definition should be used:
 * Resembling a cat, especially in regard to motion.
 * She moved with catlike grace.
 * There was a large, catlike animal moving across the plain.

 * Adverbs
 * Adverbs in -ly

When defining adverbs of this type, it is important to keep in mind that -ly can have a number of different significations. It often means “in an X manner”, but it can also mean “so as to become or appear X” or, especially in technical contexts, “due to X factors”. Be sure to review actual use before writing a definition. Because these are distinct senses of -ly, they also merit distinct senses for those adverbs for which they can be attested.
 * In a yellowish way.
 * Her eyes were yellowishly green.
 * So as to become or appear yellowish.
 * He tinted the glass yellowishly.

Entries for affixes (prefixes, suffixes, etc.) should provide a brief gloss or definition. Where more detailed treatment is required, one or more Usage notes should be provided, with appropriate examples. Example:
 * Affixes

Definition sequence
Most users will glance only at the first few definitions in a long entry, rather than searching through all definitions to find the best match. For this reason, it is important that the most common senses of a term be placed first, even when this may be contrary to the logical or historical sequence.

For complex entries, the use of subsenses is encouraged. In this case the hierarchy is defined logically – core sense at the root – but again, the most salient subsenses should be placed first in line.

Right-hand side
Most content elements should be in the main (center) section of the page. This includes even small items such as small conjugation tables. Accepted items that may appear on the right-hand side:
 * Navigation templates (e.g., )
 * Images
 * Example boxes with
 * Sister project boxes (e.g.,, now often listed under “Further reading” with instead)

When possible the width of right-hand side elements should be uniform so as to provide a “virtual” right-hand side column.

Templates
If a language has many table templates of a certain type, such as to show conjugations, then the templates should be structured such that one or a few templates are responsible for formatting and showing the content in a neat way, while the others generate the actual contents. For example, while there are many French conjugation table templates, they all use the same style template. This practice helps in keeping the display of templates consistent, and also makes it easier to create new versions of a template (for a different inflectional pattern, for example) without copying all the formatting as well. In programming jargon, this is called “separating the interface from the implementation”.

Templates that contain tables whose width is specified as a percent should have those tables wrapped in  tags to avoid interfering with right-hand side elements. This is how the table templates such as and  are constructed.

Dates
The two most common year-numbering systems are Anno Domini (“BC”, “AD”) and Common Era (“BCE”, “CE”). To provide both wikitext standardization and viewer customization, use / and / to mark the correct eras. They should be placed after their respective dates. Viewers that wish to view pages using the Anno Domini system can do so by selecting the appropriate preference (this will also convert “AD” to being before dates).

Abbreviations
Wiktionary is not paper and therefore not encumbered by traditional size restraints. In general we use full English terms rather than abbreviations or unnaturalized foreign terms. Following this, cf should be expanded to compare (rather than confer) and q.v. should be expanded to see (rather than quo vide). The names of parts of speech are also written in full, so we always write noun and adjective and never n or adj. Exceptions are made for those that are universal such as gender abbreviations (f. for feminine) and common quotation abbreviations (c. for circa).

pant, pants - fashion industry nonsense
I am nominating the so-called fashion industry senses of pant and pants for verification due to a minor edit skirmish. I believe it to be extremely bad English to say that one pair of pants is a pant. The term is a plural tantum and this so-called fashion industry usage is non-standard and therefore I have labelled it as such. does not agree and reverted my edits. So here it is up for community discussion. By the way fashion industry non-sense is a good indicator of the slippery slope coming at us! --Williamsayers79 00:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The fashion industry uses pant all the time. Probably standard in the industry. It clearly has to be tagged as specific to that, but I don't think also "non-standard". (Go google "fashion pant", with the quotes, so stemming is turned off. You'll see. "pant set" will get you 290,000 hits ;-) Robert Ullmann 00:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Thats fair enough I supose! But its still crap English, but I'll go with the consensus.--Williamsayers79 00:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * No slippery slope - this is just industry jargon. I don't think "pant" is going to take over from "pants" in general usage any time soon. We're here to reflect English usage, not to judge it, so "pant" must stay, with a suitable label attached ("dry-clean only", perhaps ;P). — Paul G 07:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The singular pant is common in the industry. Also, pant suit. See for example: http://bookweb.syr.edu/ePOS?store=1&item_number=W42109&form=shared3%2Fgm%2Fdetail.html&design=1 —Stephen 17:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * What about the attributive sense? You must have heard of a "pant leg". DAVilla 19:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Good point. I've added this sense. We already have the UK English "trouser" with the same meaning. It's interesting to read the labels against that term... — Paul G 20:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

etymology: pantaloons
According to Garner's fourth edition,

Pant may appear to be a false singular of pants or even a back-formation. But both words are actually abbreviations of pantaloons, and have been so used since the late 19th century.

You can leave me a message here (in Wiktionary) if you like, but you're much more likely to get a (reasonably) rapid response from me on my talk page on Wikipedia, instead.

Of course, you can also send me an email. --Eliyahu w:Talk

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Eliyahu. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Eliyahu~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:44, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Radical wikilink?
What happened to the radical wikilink for this character? Badagnani 10:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The wikilink is in the Nanshu header syntax, replaced by the template; this is true of all the characters. However, the template has the radical as a parameter, so we can make it do whatever we like. Robert Ullmann 12:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

What happened to significance of written form of character?
What happened to the significance of the written form of this character? This would seem to be of great importance, as this particular one appears to depict something about a growing plant with rice coming off the top. I strongly suggest against the deletion of this section, as it is of great educational importance. Badagnani 18:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Mandarin readings
Can it be added in which contexts the two different Mandarin readings are used? 24.29.228.33 19:55, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Meter?
How did the character for "rice" come to be used for the word meter? Is it because it sounds like the first syllable of "meter"? If so, why didn't they come up with a different character for the term for "meter"? 24.29.228.33 10:47, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

OJ yo2nV- alternation?
米 (kun: よね yone < OJ yo2ne) has a nanori (名乗り) reading よな yona. So may we etymologize よね yo2ne as yo2na- + -i)? I still have some doubts because yo2na- seemingly violates Arisaka's law against the presence of both o2 & a in one same word.Erminwin (talk) 03:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * , yona- should be kun instead of nanori since it's the bound apophonic form. Note also that has a bound form ina- as in . Could be that the i- would've been parsed as (y)i- and therefore * →  or . What do you mean by the "presence of both o2 & a in same one syllable"? ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 06:34, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * , my mistyping. I intended to state that Arisaka's law prevents o2 from appearing in the same word as o1 or a. That's why I originally doubted even the existence of yo2na until finding that in ONCOJ. Thanks for confirming that yona is indeed the kun reading as well as apophonic bound form of yone (so -e in yone was indeed underlying e2 in OJ then). JDict suggests here that よな (yona < OJ yo2na) is nanori, & I'm not an expert on historical Japanese phonology that's why I followed JDict in classifying yona as nanori instead of kun.

Instances I've been able to find for yona-:

 * , modern -- phonetics uncertain.  Not found in the MYS.  May appear as late as the 1700s.  KDJ entry.
 * -- phonetics again uncertain. Not found in the MYS.  Stated to appear in the Wamyōshō.  DJS, DJR, and KDJ entries.
 * 米子 Yonako, Yonago -- another place name. Phonetics uncertain.  Not found in the MYS.  KDJ entry, JA WP page.
 * 吉隠 Yonabari -- place name. See also the Encyclopedia Nipponica article.  Phonetics uncertain, as I can only find this in the  in the non-phonetic kanji spelling 吉隠.
 * -- phonetics again uncertain. Not found in the MYS.  Stated to appear in the Wamyōshō.  DJS, DJR, and KDJ entries, JA WP article.

, I seem to recall that you might be able to access the Wamyōshō. Can you? And if so, does that include any reliable man'yōgana spellings for these words? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 17:42, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Looping back to this years later, now with access to the ONCOJ site and its grep feature. Searching for   (for any instances of words starting with "yona") finds five instances of this string as a sub-string of the word yonabari.  All five are from the MYS, but two of them spell this as  and two spell it as  (leveraging the older "snack" sense na for the  kanji), so it's pretty clear that we have at least some confirmation of 'yona-'' even in the MYS.  :)

PST speakers' lack of knowledge of rice
Recently, asserted that the comparison between OC 米 *C.mˤ[e]jʔ "dehusked grain" generally  & Proto-Bodo-Garo *mai1 “rice, paddy, cooked rice” does not necessarily indicate that PST speakers knew rice (Oryza); neither does the comparison between Old Burmese kok “rice” and OC 穀 *[k]ˤok “grain (in the husk)” (contra ). Furthermore, even this cognate set - Bengni am; Sak aŋ; Dulong am55 (meaning "rice plant") - result from the semantic shift "rice plant" < ? < “to eat liquid foods, such as gruel”; from STEDT *PTB #487 *ʔam "to eat, to drink", (compare Dhimal am & OC 飲 *q(r)[u]mʔ “to drink”). Their conclusion: "There is therefore no linguistic evidence that the ancestral Sino-Tibetans knew rice." Considering that this paper is very new, should we include its findings yet or should we wait? Erminwin (talk) 16:56, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Cognates
, the lenition of initial in the Proto-Austronesian daughter languages is not what I was referring to. My edit comment:

highly unlikely -- none of the known derivations from develop initial /k/, nor is this shift explainable by any known mechanism within Japonic.

The Austronesian development from *semay to *həmay etc. does nothing to explain where initial comes from in the Japonic.

Your mention of is also problematic, as again we have no explanation for that initial. As written, that sentence also sounded like it's claiming a relationship between Proto-Austronesian and Old Chinese, which itself has issues, as reconstructions point to the Old Chinese as or. That interstitial is incompatible with a derivation from *semay.

If you have any sources that point to a connection between *semay and kome, I'm all ears. For the reasons above, however, the phonology is problematic at best. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 02:31, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

 * If you read this page, the previous talk mention the reference to that point. In the meantime, I had the reference cited on the text. Although the phonology is problematic, it does not change that several experts mention the theory and thus eligible to be mentioned. The phonology problem can be added after that, of course, with suitable references, if any. Dismissing without any mention of references and edit block are not appropriate to express your disagrement.--Xbypass (talk) 03:34, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , thank you for the references.  When you'd, there weren't any references; indeed, when you , there were still no references.  I'm sorry we butted heads.
 * Sure, no problem. --Xbypass (talk) 04:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Re: disagreement, I am accustomed to running into various editors (logged in or anon) who add all kinds of bogus things to JA entries. I've dealt with other editors in the past who have been most persistent even with patently incorrect material, sometimes even material that is ruled out by the very sources that the other editor themselves has added to the entry.  I haven't had much interaction with you, and I honestly wasn't sure what to make of your behavior.  When I saw that you'd  me, with an  that didn't appear to address my, I erred on the side of minimizing the potential for disruption to the entry by  you and then immediately coming here to write the above thread in an effort to engage you directly.  Before I had finished, I saw in my Notifications that you'd already  me without edit comment, so fearing the worst due to my past experiences with those other editors, I imposed the shortest block I could that would give me time to finish writing here.
 * I see, I have not been a admin, so we have different point of view. --Xbypass (talk) 04:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Re: "If you read this page, the previous talk mention the reference to that point." — I'm not sure what you mean? What is "that point" that you refer to?  There is no other mention of *semay or Proto-Austronesian anywhere on this page.  If you mean that Old Chinese may have come from Proto-Austronesian, the  thread above makes no such contention, only that knowledge of rice may have entered the Proto-Sino-Tibetan family from somewhere else.  I have no argument with that point.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:09, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
