Pejorative
What is meant by a "trashy" sound in the definition of the cymbal? — Paul G 15:36, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * A fair question. The answer is probably "you'll know it when you hear it."  It may be that the most precise definition we can give is "a type of cymbal", with the rest as a helpful hint.  The only other things to add would be some description of its shape (if it's different from a normal cymbal) and composition.  And maybe, why it's called a "china". -dmh 17:07, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This needlessly repetitive eyesore doesn't necessarily mean that the, , and templates need to be entirely reworked (although I personally think they do) but it does serve as a good example of how ridiculous they are when used in combination. Don't do this.

Also, the Chinese name of "Yelang" has nothing at all to do with the etymology here. — LlywelynII  13:25, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Usage notes
In American English, whilst is generally considered to be pretentious, poetic, or archaic. The Penguin Working Words (1993) recommends only, and notes that whilst is old-fashioned. The Cambridge Guide to English Usage (2004) and Webster’s Guide to English Usage (2004) comment on its regional character, and note that it is rare in American usage. It is used and understood more generally in International English. On the other hand, The American Heritage Guide to Contemporary Usage and Style (2005), writes that, “while using whilst runs the risk of sounding pretentious, it can sometimes add a literary or ironically formal note to a piece of writing”.

Baal

Etymology
From (as in the Vulgate) and ; from,  and , all from.

Pronunciation

 * ; boll (some US speakers); ball, bawl (some US speakers)
 * ; boll (some US speakers); ball, bawl (some US speakers)
 * ; boll (some US speakers); ball, bawl (some US speakers)
 * ; boll (some US speakers); ball, bawl (some US speakers)

Proper noun

 * 2)  Various other Baalim, understood as distinct patron gods or as local patron aspects the great god Baal.
 * 3)  One of the demons or fallen angels of Satan.

Usage notes
The latinized spelling and anglicized pronunciation is still used for the expanded senses, but modern scholarship increasingly notes the ayin of the original name by spelling it or  and pronouncing it more in line with the original Hebrew form. Misunderstood as a solar deity by 19th century scholarship; misunderstood as a collective term for various patron gods by 19th and 20th century scholarship prior to the discovery of inscriptions at Ugarit showing these to have been understood as aspects of a single divinity, whose worship gradually supplanted that of El. These aspects are sometimes distinguished by epithets:, , , etc.

The Hebraic plural is particularly used for its appearances in the Bible, where it may refer to gods or idols of the god. The anglicized plural is more common in other contexts.

baccara

Etymology
From.

Etymology
Likely named after the French town (noted for glassmaking) in Grand Est, of ultimately. (uncertain). If by some, the town is possibly named from  ("altar of Bacchus"; the original pagan reference of the name was forgotten), name of an ancient Roman , of which there remains a relic called the "Tower of Bacha" on the heights of Deneuvre, from whence Baccarat is an ancient suburb. Other hypotheses have also been suggested, including descent from.

Probably linked to, although if the town etymology is correct, this may present some geographic difficulty.

This word appears to have such wide usage, especially in rural areas of Upstate New York, that despite its not appearing in mainstream dictionaries such as Webster's, it is time for it to be accepted as a true English word. It's meaning is immediately known to all who hear it, and it is preferable to similar words in expressing a certain emotion.

Talk:nazi

This had been listed as an abbreviation. It's not.

First, it's not an abbreviation in English. German shortened Nationalsozialist to Nazi, then English borrowed it.

Second, it isn't an abbreviation in German either. "Fr." for "Frau" is an abbreviation. "Nazi", like "Wessie" for "West Deutschlander" or (arguably) "Ku-Dam" for "Kurfurstendam", is not properly an abbreviation, any more than "Zoo" is an abbreviation for "Zoological Garden". -dmh 05:10, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I chose "Adjective" over "Attributive Noun" because the noun form has the specific meaning "party member" while the adjectival form is used more broadly. E.g., "Nazi propaganda" doesn't mean "propaganda to do with a member of the Nazi party". -dmh 05:19, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure that I agree on what is and isn't an abbreviation. It certainly the case that Nationalsozialist was abbreviated to Nazi. But maybe that belongs in the etymology section?
 * I would agree that this particular word is an adjective in English though it's always a tough call. — Hippietrail 06:16, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * High-order bit: In English it's a Noun, not an abbreviation. As to abbreviation, there are several entries (none come to mind at the moment, though) that are classified as "shortenings", and I believe that Nazi would qualify.  An abbreviation tends to be marked as such, either by capitals, a period or an apostrophe (that's why I waffled on Ku-Dam: it also comes up as Ku'Dam). I'm not sure that's actually quite the right rule, but "Wessie" and "Trabi" and so forth in German have more the flavor of a bona fide grammatical construct.  Aha, here's the distinction: An abbreviation is a device to make writing easier. E.g., "Mr." is still pronounced "Mister".  Shortenings happen in speech, and may or may not be reflected in formal writing. -dmh 13:33, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I agree that "Nazi" is not an abbreviation in English but was surely borrowed after the shortening. The terms "Wessie" and "Trabi" are grammatical, they are known as diminutives. It's an unpleasant thought but perhaps "Nazi" did start off as a diminutive! — Hippietrail 04:30, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"Nazi" is a shortform for "Nationalsozialist". There is a analogy between "Nazi" and "Sozi". "Sozi" is a shortform for "Sozialist". "Nazi" in German is not representing pronunciation of Nati in Nationalsozialist. "Nazi" is not a diminutive in Germany. It is what you call a "abbreviation". By the way "Wessi", a shortform for "Westdeutsche", and "Trabi" (also Trabbi), a shortform for "Trabant", are not "diminutives". Please visit the german part of wikipedia.org for more informations.

Fascist is not a synonim for Nazi
Fascism was an Italian political movement which involved nacionalism, but also other principles not related no Nazism (which remember, is a shortening for National Socialism), the most not related being its antisocialism.

So, Fascist is NOT a synonim for Nazi. They were members of different political parties/movements. The fact that nazies and fascists had good relationships doesn't make them being the same thing.

Strange def
(adj) Consisting of Nazis.

Talk:や

や also means shop / store but I'm not sure whether only as a suffix or whether it's usually spelled as kanji, but "hon-ya" is bookshop for instance.

This article now illustrates that we don't have an adequate system for marking words which are only ever written in kana, words which are normally written in kanji which have the pronunciation of this kana, and words wich are sometimes written both ways. Should we have 3 sections, one for each case, should we mark each entry in the artice, should we have 2 sections for the 1st two cases and treat the mixed case specially? — Hippietrail 06:48, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
