Talk:penny in the fusebox

Judging by the google hits, this is just on the verge of becoming an idiom. The hits are generally of the form "It's like putting a penny in a fuse box -- it works but it's not a good idea," but there are a few, particularly of "penny in the fuse box", which don't see any need to explain the simile, thus giving us room to step in. Here are a couple of bona fide examples:

 * http://lists.distributed.net/hypermail/rc5.Jul1998/0142.html
 * http://www.pa-newspaper.org/press/2003/Jan%202003/publisher_creates.htm

Note, however, that there are at least four forms for this phrase: Penny in {a, the} {fuse box, fusebox}. The most common appears to be "penny in the fuse box", so I'll move this there. -dmh 17:41, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Talk:principle

Gee, those quotes seem so old and *COUGH* dusty *cough* (-). As if the quotes for 'principle' had to be the oldest available, the principal ones. Seriously, those quotes do not help much to understand the meanings, there should exist better ones. Phrases that come to my mind are: "the principle of operation", "in principle". I do not know the intended style of wiktionary yet, so won't edit these in for now.

 * This is clearly an old entry, both in Wiktionary terms and in terms of the definitions. It's clearly taken from Webster 1913 and hasn't been put into the style Wiktionary currently uses.  You'll get a better feel for Wiktionary by looking at the "N" entries in Special:recent changes. -dmh 19:37, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Fair enough, principal and principle are from the same roots and therefore related. I'll add a Usage Note to call out the principle/principal distinction explicitly. -dmh 02:21, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Which of the meanings is this example?
Even though damages cost $2,000, and attorney fees cost $2,500, the client will still press on with the suit due to the principle of the case. --Widjedi 13:33, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Usage notes
Similarly principal (or principally) may sometimes erroneously get used as an adjective form of principle. Possible alternatives for an adjective with a meaning closer to the noun principle are fundamental and ethical.
 * Principal should not be confused with . Principle is always a noun, which is sometimes erroneously used with the meaning of the adjective principal.
 * Incorrect: He is the principle musician in the band
 * Correct: He is the principal musician in the band
 * Incorrect: I have principal objections.
 * Correct: I have ethical objections.

This can vary in other languages, for example in Dutch where the noun does have an adjective form in. This can be a source of confusion if a Dutch speaker assumes an adjective form of principle would also exist in English which may lead them to erroneously use the similar-sounding adjective principal in an English text for this purpose. Principal is generally not used in the comparative or superlative in formal writing, as the meaning is already superlative. However, like, it is sometimes used in this way.

The term was used in British armed forces and the London area synonymously with in its slang usage (and sometimes ) from at least the 1950s.

User:Saforrest

Hi, I'm Saforrest. I've yet to decide what I'll contribute.

For my other Wikimedia identities see meta:User:Saforrest.

An impromptu essay on the idea of Wiktionary
For what it's worth, I greatly value the idea of completing an open-content dictionary of this form, but I have some reservations about the manner in which entries are handled.

Organizing everything in the manner in which it was done is fine, but I think it follows Wikipedia's format too closely. In particular, in a dictionary, one is often desiring to get at distinct pieces of information from an entry, such as whether the thing is a noun or a verb, or what the case of the case of the thing is (in the case of a translation dictionary).

As it stands, each entry is a document unto itself, with no structure apart from that put there by its authors, and its organization is dependent on the goodwill and diligence of the Wiktionary contributors. Dependence on humans is fine for something that is to be used by humans, but an effort like this should be able to be sliced and diced by computer programs to end up with a useful data set.

In particular, one should be able to take this (English) dictionary, which is an English-to-English dictionary and a translation dictionary from every language at once, run some computer programs, and get:

 * a dictionary that is wholly English-to-English, i.e. no trulyforeign words (i.e. zeitgeist is in, but zeit and geist are out)
 * a set of distinct translation dictionaries that translate Language X -> English

The specific goal I would like to see is a free-open content (i.e. GFDL) equivalent of LEO, an English <-> German and German <-> French dictionary which is probably the best online translation dictionary I have ever used. (In fact, I when translating stuff to French I often find the equivalent term in German with LEO, then find the French equivalent of that).

Note that I may well be wrong in my claim at the supposed disorganization of pages. If so, I will heartily embrace the wiktionary project. (Well, if not, I will still embrace it, but not as zealously. :))

dwarf

Etymology
From, , , from , from , from.

Cognate with 🇨🇬; 🇨🇬 (🇨🇬); 🇨🇬 (🇨🇬); 🇨🇬 (🇨🇬); 🇨🇬,, (🇨🇬, ); 🇨🇬,  (🇨🇬).

The Modern English noun has undergone complex phonetic changes. The form dwarf is the regular continuation of, but the plural would have given rise to  and the oblique stem  would have led to. These forms are sometimes found as the nominative singular in Middle English texts and in English dialects. A parallel case is that of giving burgh, borough, burrow, bury.

Noun

 * 1)  Any member of a race of beings from (especially Scandinavian and other Germanic) folklore, usually depicted as having some sort of supernatural powers and being skilled in crafting and metalworking, often as short with long beards, and sometimes as clashing with elves.
 * 2)  A person of short stature, often one whose limbs are disproportionately small in relation to the body as compared with typical adults, usually as the result of a genetic condition.
 * 3) An animal, plant or other thing much smaller than the usual of its sort.
 * 4)  A dwarf star.
 * 1) An animal, plant or other thing much smaller than the usual of its sort.
 * 2)  A dwarf star.
 * 1)  A dwarf star.
 * 1)  A dwarf star.
 * 1)  A dwarf star.
 * 1)  A dwarf star.

Usage notes
At first, was the common plural in English, and  was considered incorrect. After used  in his works, that form became the standard for the plural of the mythological beings. For a non-mythological dwarf (people with dwarfism, small plants, animals, planets, stars, etc.), has remained the preferred plural form. The use of dwarf to describe people with dwarfism is currently considered to be offensive by some.

Noun

 * 1)  currency unit of Romania and Moldova

Etymology
Probably a later learned borrowing from (around the 17th century), itself from. If inherited from the nominative form, the expected result in Romanian would have been (as  from ); furthermore, all the other Romance cognates were derived from the accusative form  or genitive  (and some were borrowings themselves). Cf. also and, as well as.

For the name of the currency, it was probably based on the Dutch, which depicted a lion; cf. , also German. This traces back to the 17th century, when the Dutch currency was used in the Romanian principalities. Another explanation gives the origin of this sense as a calque of Turkish, which was also used to refer to a type of currency with a lion on it; see also (English ). Compare also the sense of currency with Bulgarian.

TTFN

Etymology
In 1939, initialisms, previously rarely used except by the military, were heard more frequently by the British public. ITMA satirised them by coining TTFN, a "pointless" initialism (no easier to say than the phrase on which it was based) to use as a catchphrase, which became widely repeated in the UK. Thirty years later, American ventriloquist Paul Winchell, following the suggestion of his third wife, Jean Freeman, who was British, improvised it as a signature phrase for the (originally British) character Tigger in the Disney films based on A. A. Milne's book The House at Pooh Corner. This, in a world now accustomed to them, popularised worldwide a word originally coined to make fun of initialisms.

Phrase

 * 1) ; goodbye
 * 2) * 1941-1945: (A catchphrase of Mrs Mopp (Dorothy Summers) in several series of the weekly topical comedy British radio programme It's That Man Again (ITMA))
 * 3) * 1966: Catwoman (played by Julie Newmar) in the Batman episode "Better Luck Next Time" – Catwoman: "'TTFN", Batman: "What does that mean?", Catwoman: "Ta-ta for now."
 * 4) * 1974: Tigger (voiced by Paul Winchell) in Unbouncing Tigger – Well, I gotta go, now! I got a lot of bouncing to do! Hoo-hoo-hoo! TTFN! Ta ta for now!

-lainen

Etymology 1
From ; synchronically analyzable as a toponymic element. Cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

Attested since at least the Bible translation of 1548, which uses it in Mark 7.26 and Luke 4.27, among other places.

Pronunciation

 * Does not automatically cause secondary stress

Usage notes

 * Usually appended to the genitive or nominative singular stem.
 * Place names already ending in often do not duplicate the suffix, and their adjective forms may be formed with simply  (e.g.  →, not ˣ).

Declension
Noun:

Adjective:

Etymology 2
From compounds with (compare ). The origin as a separate word can still be seen in the imperfect accommodation to vowel harmony. The suffix has been reinforced and influenced by the somewhat similar sounding (e.g. dialectal  for ).

Pronunciation

 * automatically causes secondary stress, due to the fact that this suffix was originally a component in a compound

Usage notes
As this suffix is historically a compound, it is not subject to vowel harmony in the standard language; with the exception of the word, it always has back vowel harmony. In colloquial use it may have a front vowel variant, if not the speaker has not been explicitly taught to avoid that, which proves the rule moot.

-si

Usage examples

 * An epenthetic is infixed if the stem ends in a consonant.

Etymology
, from. Cognate with 🇨🇬.

Etymology
From, from. Compare 🇨🇬.

Suffix

 * : your, thy
 * : you, thee
 * : you, thee

Usage notes

 * The possessive suffix is compulsory in standard Finnish. The genitive form of the corresponding personal pronoun  before the main word can, depending on the context, be sometimes omitted in written language if the sentence remains fluent. In colloquial Finnish, the suffix  is very rare and only the genitive form  (or its colloquial or dialectal variants) is used before the main word.
 * Appended to the (strong) vowel stem. The final -n of the genitive and illative singular and plural or the -t of the nominative plural are omitted, for example: >  >.
 * The shortened sentences — except for the participle structures — pertain mainly to formal/standard Finnish, not to informal/colloquial Finnish. It is also to be noticed that the shortened clauses are never separated from the main clauses with a comma.

Etymology
From.

Etymology
From, from. Cognate to 🇨🇬.

Usage notes

 * Appended to present active infinitive verb forms to derive reflexive forms with a third person object. Also appended to the present indicative of some verb to derive their passive forms. The final -e of the original infinitive is removed before the reflexive suffix is added.

Where the verb ends in -rre, the final re is removed, leaving behind just an -r:

In any case, after the suffixation, there is only a single r and no vowels immediately before -si.

When the verb is referred to a first person or second person object, -si is substituted with:
 *  when the object is first singular person;
 *  when the object is second singular person;
 *  when the object is first plural person;
 *  when the object is second plural person;

Suffix

 * 1) -tion; -sion.

Usage notes
This is used in newer adaptations of English loanwords ending in and  in an effort to make the ending of such words uniform with its Dutch-derived counterparts in Indonesian. Previously, the suffix in words of this kind were adapted as and  (e.g. as in  for ).

-Vn

Etymology 1
From where the -h- has been elided between unstressed short vowels.

Usage notes

 * See the appendix on Finnish nominal cases for more information on how the illative case is used.
 * Used after an unstressed short vowel. The vowel is the same as the final vowel in the stem, thus producing a long vowel.

Etymology 2
From, from (third-person singular possessive suffix).

Usage notes
Can always be replaced with, the longer third-person possessive suffix, but not the other way around. Specifically, can be used:
 * when the vowel preceding is a short a, ä and e (general rule, but defers to the next two)
 * for nominal inflections (including participles and adverbs derived from such), all cases except the nominative, genitive, illative and instructive
 * for verbal inflections, the long 1st infinitive, the 2nd infinitive, and the 5th infinitive

Etymology 3
From the illative ending (etymology 1) attached directly to the verb stem.

Usage notes

 * Example: = standard.
 * Originally a Tavastian dialectal characteristic, but nowadays can be encountered in urban "non-dialectal" speech.
