Talk:magic

A Verb????
Is 'magic' ever really used as a verb? "He magicked the ball" "I love to magic around the house" "Do you magic for a living?" Not even in slang, not even in bad fantasy novels.

 * Do a google search for "magic into existence". 500+ just for that phrase. You can think of others and you'll find they have usage. "magicked into" will give you another 2000, and so on. Robert Ullmann 17:31, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * oh, your examples are transitive, use as an intransitive verb is probably more common. Robert Ullmann 17:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Outside Indo-European languages, compare:

 * Sino-Tibetan:
 * Chinese: 巫 (wū, OC *ma (some reconstruct as *mjag), "witch, shaman")
 * Tibetan: མོ (mo, "to divine; fate") (> མོ་མ (mo ma, "witch"), མོ་པ (mo pa, "divinator")); མིག་འཁྲུལ / མིག་འཕྲུལ (mig ' khrul / mig ' phrul, "magic trick")
 * Burmese: မျက် (myak, "magic", as in မျက်လှည့်ဆရာ ("magician"))

Isaac Bonewits's definitions
Since Isaac Bonewits has a Bachelor of Arts in Magic and Thaumaturgy; University of California, Berkeley he qualifies as an expert in the field. "Here’s the three ways I do it in the current (1989) edition of my first book, Real Magic:

1) A general term for arts, sciences, philosophies and technologies concerned with (a) understanding and using various altered states of consciousness within which it is possible to have access to and control over one’s psychic talents, and ::(b) the uses and abuses of those psychic talents to change interior and/or exterior realities.

2) A science and an art comprising a system of concepts and methods for the build-up of human emotions, altering the electrochemical balance of the metabolism, using associational techniques and devices to concentrate and focus this emotional energy, thus modulating the energies broadcast by the human body, usually to affect other energy patterns whether animate or inanimate, but occasionally to affect the personal energy pattern.

(3) A collection of rule-of-thumb techniques designed to get one’s psychic talents to do more or less what one wants, more often than not, one hopes." - Bonewits, Isaac (2005 Authentic Thaumaturgy pg 18 --174.99.238.22 16:45, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * We're a descriptive dictionary. We document what people mean when they use a term- not what some self-proclaimed expert says it should mean. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:56, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

“Magic” in its descriptive role
Fowler reads Magic(al): The two words compete with one another in all the main senses, ‘relating to magic’, ‘produced by or as if by magic’, and ‘wonderful’, although in certain fixed expressions such as magic carpet only magic is used. When used in its descriptive role, magic still behaves more like a noun than an adjective, which is to say that it cannot be preceded by very, extremely, etc., and does not have a comparative.

What "descriptive role" is the author referring to, and as opposed to what other(s)? --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:04, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Usage notes
The oldest meaning of awesome is of “something which inspires awe”, but the word is now also a common slang expression. It was originally so used in the United States, where it had featured strikingly in the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora!, as used by Japan's Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto to describe the "awesome" industrial potential of the United States. Consequently, as the word popularly became an expression for anything superb, in its original meaning it has tended to be replaced by the related word, .

 * My lord's sayings and doings are most amusing. As I mentioned his cacology, I will give you a sample. His second wife took great pains to improve him, but in vain.

One day, being asked to take some lunch, he declined, saying ‘I have been eating selvedges all day.’ My Lady, correcting, said, ‘Sandwiches, my Lord.’ He replied, ‘Ah, my Lady, I wish you'd be quiet, you're always rebuting me.’

What about the adjective?

sound
How about Long Island Sound?

 * That meaning of sound is already covered under "Etymology 3". —Stephen 21:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

sounding in tort (et al.)
There's another definition of sound that's not currently in this entry. I'm not sure what the definition is (which is why I'm not adding it), but it's used in law (at least American law) in the phrases sounds in and sounding in. Google "claim sounds in" (books, Usenet), "claim sounding in" (books, Usenet), "action sounds in" (books, Usenet), and "action sounding in" (books, Usenet) for examples. —msh210 19:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * So I went and found a copy of Black's Law Dictionary, 7/e, which is under copyright, and it says:
 * sound, vb. 1. To be actionable (in) <her claims for physical injury sound in tort, not in contract>. 2. To be recoverable (in) <his tort action sounds in damages, not in equitable relief>.
 * Since I don't fully understand these definitions, I can't include them. Maybe someone else knows the word and how it's used.—msh210 23:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Measuring depth
Oxford English Dictionary says "to measure the depth of the sea or a lake by using a line with a weight attached, or an electronic instrument" - is this what's meant at Etymology 4, Verb, Definition 2 - to probe? Duncan MacCall 07:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: A sex toy comparable to a very narrow dildo inserted into a penis through the urethra

By Luciferwildcat. I was inclined to just remove the sense together with its translation table. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:21, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * What is questioned here exactly? Is that the existence of such sexual toys? Urethral sounds do exist as BDSM toys, see Urethral sounding (and ext. links). Or do you suggest this sense should be merged with sense #1? That wouldn't sound unreasonable to me, since originally the toy was identical to the medical instrument, except it was used in a sexual context. But, thanks to the creativity of designers, today's toys don't seem to have much in common with the medical ones. — Xavier, 13:54, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I am asking for citations of use of the word "sound" to mean what the definition above says it means, such ones that meet WT:ATTEST. You seems to suggest the defition is related to the one above: "A probe (e.g. a surgeon's tool)". Unfortunately, the definition above is subprime; it should read "A probe: any of various medical instruments used to explore wounds, organs etc." or the like, to be perfectly clear which sense of "probe" is being picked by the definition. If this definition is accepted and you can cite "sound" as referring to sex toys that are not medical instruments, then you will have attested the sex toy as a distinct sense, I think. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:36, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

 * The item exists; that can be verified via a lot of non-durable websites. The word, on the other hand, doesn't seem to meet CFI. - -sche (discuss) 05:17, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

 * RFV-failed for now. - -sche (discuss) 00:06, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

But WHY does it mean this?
This entry wasn't very helpful. I wanted to know the etymology of the verb meaning "in good condition". It's there, but no indication of what the word sources mean or why the word "sound" came to mean so. It did help, but mainly because the act of looking at other definitions gave me an idea, and I still don't know for sure, but I think it's because others know you're okay if they can hear you're okay, whether it's from laughter, snoring, or because you are required to 'sound off' regularly that all is well.

But could we please include more definitions in these entries of source words? History too? Because even when I find those definitions, often they give no indications of what connection existed between source and present day usage. Clearly there's a lot more to etymology than just knowing precedent words. It's also about history.

Etymology 3
All the Entry presentation is fine, except for the P.I.E. root which should be *SUNDH, whence Sanskrit SINDHU (river), > INDUS, et cetera. The Entry page Proto-Indo-European root assumes an unattestable stock root of *SWEM, whence Turkish SU (water), from the stock root *SU; and is an excuse for dictionaries erroneously stating that SUND is from Old English SWIMMAN!

米国

Etymology 1
Appears to be a coinage in Japanese of derived elements, as a compound of.

First cited in Japanese in the 1603 edition of the. The original meaning was literally "rice country", in reference to any country rich in rice.

By 1819, the sense expanded to include countries that were major rice exporters.

The "America" sense is cited first in 1869.
 * This is often explained as using the character as a shortening of the phonetic kanji spelling,   purportedly as used in the 1854.
 * However, the Japanese text of the treaty does not actually include this spelling, rendering this instead as either or.
 * Considering that was a common form of the country name from the time of the 1854 treaty up through the early 1900s, this seems the more likely source of the  character.

Noun

 * 1)   a country that is an exporter of rice

Talk:сосед

соседка
Hi Stephen,

what's the deal with all these соседкаs here? That's an entirely different word. It should be placed under ‘Related terms’ and nowhere else. Putting it into the same declension table with ‘сосед’ is misleading and wrong. ‘Cоседку’, ‘соседок’, ‘соседками’ etc. have nothing to do with the declension of ‘сосед’.

Cheers, --Schwallex 19:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, it’s two separate declensions. However, it’s a word pair, at least in Russian-English-Russian dictionaries, and it is advisable to include them on the same page. Otherwise, many English-speakers will assume that сосед is okay to use for everybody. It doesn’t occur to many people that they must seek out a feminine form on some other page. —Stephen 19:11, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, yes, sure, but I'm not arguing against mentioning ‘соседка’ on this page — quite the opposite, in fact. I am only arguing against presenting forms of word Y as if they were forms of word X. Again, that's simply misleading and wrong.
 * This page is titled ‘сосед’. This page is all about the word ‘сосед’. The declension section on this page is dedicated to the declension of the word ‘сосед’. ‘Соседка’ is a different word and it has a page of its own. We might wish to place a prominent link to ‘соседка’ on this page, but we should not mix the declensions of two entirely different words. Ever. The declension of ‘соседка’ has got just as much to do with the declension of ‘сосед’ as the declension of ‘яблоко’ has got to do with the declension of ‘апельсин’.
 * Besides, I actually don’t quite buy the word-pair argument anyway. ‘Nachbar’ and ‘Nachbarin’ is a word pair, too. Yet, I don't see the word ‘Nachbarin’ being declined on the page ‘Nachbar’ or vice versa. And I am yet to meet an English-speaker who assumes that ‘Nachbarin’ is okay to use for everybody.
 * Anyway, here's what I actually suggest.
 * --Schwallex 20:43, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * But that’s my point: this is NOT just about the word сосед, it’s also about the word neighbor. If this were purely a Russian–Russian page, then, yes, it would be about the word сосед and nothing else. But in our case, it’s also about neighbor.
 * And yes, I know that соседка has a page of its own, because I created that page separately.
 * Nachbarin is a German–German page, and therefore it is treated separately from Nachbar, as it should be. However, in the case of English–German Nachbar/Nachbarin, the feminine form can have its own page, but the masculine form should share its space with the feminine, for the simple reason that it is not just about Nachbar, but also (and especially) about neighbor.
 * I should add that I used links to de: for the sole reason of en: not having one of the entries. Sorry for the confusion.
 * As I said, I agree that сосед and соседка are separate words with separate declensions, and not like an adjective.
 * My feeling on this is that it does not present a problem. I don’t believe anyone would be confused or misled by the current design. However, if it really bothers you, I can try to think of a way to separate the two tables. If I simply add a ===Related terms=== or ===See also=== link to соседка, I believe it will lead to errors and misunderstanding, due to the fact that the word neighbor is not gender-specific, and some people will be satisfied with what they find on this page. Then they will write "Анна мой сосед", or perhaps "Анна мая сосед".
 * Well, that'd be a whole 'nother story. ‘Моя сосед’ is incorrect for an entirely different reason. You just can't combine feminine and masculine words in such manner — no matter what they mean . Even if ‘сосед’ did mean ‘female neighbour’, the sentence ‘Анна — моя сосед’ would still be incorrect, since the noun ‘сосед’ itself is masculine.
 * If people don't get the difference between grammar and semantics — well, no declension tables are going to fix that kind of problem any time soon. As long as someone doesn't understand that, say, the word ‘пилот’ (‘pilot’) is always masculine, even when it refers to a woman, he's going to make all kind of weird mistakes; as long as people don't get that the German word for ‘girl’ (‘Mädchen’) is neuter, they are going to use it incorrectly no matter what  — even if you explain to them in full detail how ‘Junge’ (‘boy’) is declined. (^_^) (In fact, that would probably make things even worse, since ‘Junge’ is declined like an adjective. As is the case with many Russian nouns, too. I don't think we should confuse people any more than necessary. It's already hard enough to learn the declension of one word.)
 * --Schwallex 16:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * But anyone who knows enough about Russian to be able to use a declension table will also realize that сосед and соседка are different words with different declensions.
 * I could change the order of the table to: 1 сосед, 2 соседи, 3 соседка, 4 соседки. Would that be suitable? I don’t know of any other way to do it and still have a page that is clear and useful for English-speakers. I could put two separate declension tables on the page, one above the other, but I think THAT would be confusing and misleading. —Stephen 21:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I understand your point, but I do think that my draft addresses all these issues just as well. Don't you agree?
 * Plus, do we really want to effectively double our work by copying declension tables around? I mean, сосед-соседка is by no means the only word pair out there.
 * --Schwallex 23:07, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I don’t think that’s a proper usage of "Antonym", it’s strange. I don’t know of any term or way to contrast сосед with соседка except by their gender, but ===Feminine form=== is not a good header. I don’t know what you mean by "copying declension tables around"...I certainly don’t see how this in any way increases anyone’s workload. We can do the page that way if you want, but I think the page is going to be less helpful as a result. —Stephen 23:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, putting the same information on two pages requires twice the amount of work needed to put that information on just one page. It's as simple as that.
 * One problem with copying pieces of information is that every copy can then be modified without all the other copies being modified accordingly. If someone fixes a typo on ‘соседка’, you can't guarantee that the same typo will also be fixed on ‘сосед’.
 * Plus, this kinda contradicts the entire idea of the Internet, which is all about putting a particular piece of information in just one place and then simply linking to that place from everywhere else. If people don't know about the concept of links, that's not your fault.
 * Secondly, I am absolutely sure that that is a proper usage of ‘Antonym’. An antonym is a word that is opposite in meaning by some criterion. In this case, the criterion is gender. If ‘female’ is a valid antonym of ‘male’, which it is, than ‘female neighbour’ is just as valid an antonym of ‘male neighbour’. Nevertheless, if you like ‘Feminine form’ better, that'd be completely fine with me. I don't think that would make a bad header at all. In fact, it would be really useful to introduce such a section on all pages about Russian (/German/French/Spanish…) nouns (adjectives/pronouns/…).
 * --Schwallex 16:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I didn’t have the feeling that I was expending any extra labor when I created the separate page for соседка. However, removing it from the original page did seem like unnecessary extra work.
 * I didn’t copy any information from сосед to соседка, it was an original work. There was no copying of pieces of information. If there had been a typo соседка, it probably would not have been on сосед.
 * That is not my idea of the Internet at all. I’ve never even heard of that point of view before. When I look up a Russian verb in any dictionary, including on the Internet, I expect to be presented with the imperfective as well as the perfective, if such a pair exists. If I look up Tokelau, I expect to find the country name, the word for the people, the word for females, the language name. Pages that are dedicated to a single morpheme strike me as amateurish and almost worthless.
 * I removed the word соседка since it bothers you so much, but this has cut the value of the article in two. I cannot force myself to insert the heading ===Antonym=== because I don’t think it’s correct. —Stephen 05:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

A translation is literally always a one-way street in some respect. Translating is never a fully bidirectional process, even for the most simple of words. ‘Я’ is not an exact counterpart of ‘I’. There is no such thing as the exact counterpart. If some people don't get that, it's not your fault. If some people use an A-B dictionary to translate back from B into A, they are doing something fundamentally wrong. And we should not encourage people to use dictionaries in such fundamentally crippled ways. We should not encourage them to translate the word ‘neighbour’ by using the page ‘сосед’. Luckily enough, that is probably not going to happen anyway, as I will explain immediately. Exactly. (^_^) You couldn't possibly look it up under ‘մենք’, because that would mean that you already know what ‘մենք’ means. In which case you wouldn't look it up at all to begin with. The same is true for ‘neighbour’. If someone wants to know the Russian word for ‘neighbour’, he would look it up under ‘neighbour’ and nowhere else. And that is where the explanation about ‘сосед’ vs ‘соседка’, ‘Nachbar’ vs ‘Nachbarin’, ‘vecino’ vs ‘vecina’ etc. should go.
 * Now, back to the subject matter, I've been thinking about it last night only to realise that I actually didn't make myself clear at all. In fact, I totally failed to explicitly address some crucial issues. If you're willing to bear with me for three minutes, I'm going to change that right now.
 * First of all, let me assure you that I fully and completely understand your motivation. I just think that certain steps of your reasoning are wrong. Please let me explain.
 * First and foremost, I strongly disagree that “in an English Wiktionary, this page is also about the English word ‘neighbour’”. It is not. The entire purpose of this article is to explain the Russian word ‘сосед’ in English. This article is not about translating the English word ‘neighbour’ into Russian. That's what the article ‘neighbour’ is there for.
 * Say, you want to translate the English word ‘we’ into Armenian. Where would you look it up — under ‘we’ or under ‘մենք’?
 * Actually, this should be point number one. The Russian word ‘сосед’ does not mean ‘neighbour’. It means specifically ‘ male neighbour’. The article fails to mention that, and that's what makes the entire confusion possible in the first place. Once you fix the meaning, everything else comes for free. And I mean: everything. Every single problem we've been talking about will be fixed immediately.
 * --Schwallex 17:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * And I strongly disagree that this page is only about the Russian word сосед. It is also about neighbor. In most cases, people will find сосед by first looking in neighbor. In the article neighbor and almost all pages, the translation section lacks feminines and plurals. Indeed, there is somewhere a formatting page that strongly recommends against including anything in the translation sections other than the citation form, meaning the masculine singular of nouns and adjectives, and infinitive (in most languages) of the verb. So the feminine and the plural must be strongly in evidence on the сосед page. And since the definition of сосед is neighbor, which does duty for both sexes, the сосед also has the duty of making clear that Russian has a feminine, and cannot assume that anyone who finds the page from neighbor will also realize that he must look for a link to the feminine, so foreign to English. —Stephen 05:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I am a translator by profession and have owned and operated a translation agency for over 30 years, and I can assure you that the word сосед is virtually NEVER to be translated as "male neighbor". While сосед is a common word, male neighbor is virtually nonexistant. In fact, checking in a few of my many dictionaries, I see that none of them define сосед as "male neighbor". Furthermore, all of them list соседка under the entry for сосед. Checking some dictionaries for other languages such as Spanish, I find the same thing: the main entry for neighbor under vecino, and the feminine vecina within that entry. And the reason for all this is that, in bilingual dictionaries, it is NOT just about the head word, it is also, in fact mostly, about the English meaning: сосед as well as соседка. —Stephen 05:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with Schwallex. If you put сосед and соседка side by side in this article, then you should also put businesswoman side by side with businessman in the corresponding article. I hope nobody will do that? So you shouldn't do it here either. Al Silonov 23:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

 * You always have to write with your audience in mind. A medical article for doctors will not be written the same way as the same article for the layman. businesswoman and businessman are English words and the audience has English as mother tongue. We do not need any help with businesswoman and businessman. With сосед, on the other hand, native English speakers will not naturally look any farther than this word when linked from neighbor. I remember a young man in a rather advanced Russian-language class at the University of Texas who stood up in front of the class one morning and announced, "я буду учительницей!" Native Russian speakers do not understand the way Americans and Britons see the semantics of language. To teach them about сосед and соседка, you have to hit them on the head with it. —Stephen 23:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Holy Jesus, Stephen, don't you see we're talking about two different concepts here? You're talking about translation . I am talking the meaning of the word.
 * Of course, when if comes to actual translation, your would virtually never translate "сосед" as "male neighbour". Neither would I. You don't have to tell me that, thank you very much. Even the dumbest of them morons would never, ever say "male neighbour" in English, unless he really, really wants to stress the male part.
 * But that doesn't mean that the word "сосед" means "neighbour". As we both agree, actually. Heck, that's why you introduced "соседка" in the first place. It may be translated as "neighbour", but what it actually means is "male neighbour". That's what is called "lost in translation".
 * And just by the way: you have very similar things in English too. "All men are created equal". That includes women, does it not? However, checking in a few of my many dictionaries, I see that none of them define "man" as "woman".
 * I understand that you may have operated a translation agency for 30 years, but all the more am I perplexed that you don't seem to understand that we have to address two fundamentally different issues here: a) translating a Russian word into English within a (English) context and b) explaining (in English) what the standalone Russian word actually means in Russian context.
 * There's a reason why "translation" and "meaning" are two different words.
 * When talking/writing in English, you will want to translate a word into English, i.e. find an English word that works best in English context, so as to be able to continue talking/writing proper English. In such case, what you'll need are some translation suggestions.
 * When talking/writing in Russian, you will want to know what the word means in Russian, so as to be able to continue talking/writing proper Russian . In such case, what you'll need the actual meaning of the word within Russian context.
 * Those are two fundamentally different situations. We may not mix them into one. The English Wiktionary's current article template/guidelines do not address that issue well, if at all. Whenever we explain a foreign-language word, it remains absolutely unclear what purpose that explanation is meant to serve: actually explaning the meaning or offering translation suggestions. Again, those are two fundamentally different things. We should not try and cram both meaning and translation under either "meaning" or "translation". That's what makes basically needless discussions such as this one possible in the first place.
 * The word "сосед" does not mean "neighbour". It means " male neighbour", period. It may be translated into English as "neighbour", but again, that's an entirely different situation, and heck, that should be perfectly clear to any native English speaking person anyway . I mean, come one, give me a break, noone would ever just stupidly say "male neighbour". You don't have to tell people they should leave out the male part when speaking English.
 * Here's a quick overview for your convenience:

 * As you can see, you only get unhappy people if you conceal the "male" part. Otherwise, everyone is happy. Including yourself. Though again, the final goal should be to draw a clear line between meaning and translation — either by putting them into two separate sections or at least by saying "this word means 'male neighbour', but just in case you don't know it, 'male neighbour' does not work in an English conversation. No, we don't think you're dumb. Only some of us thought you might be."
 * --Schwallex 00:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I know precisely what we’re talking about. You do not see the difference between a bilingual dictionary and a monolingual dictionary. Monolingual dictionaries use definitions; bilingual dictionaries use translations. The payload of businessman for an English native is a definition; the payload of сосед in a Russian-English dictionary is a translation. I have used thousands of dictionaries, both monolingual and bilingual, in my life, and I have written a few as well. I am getting tired of discussing this with you. I removed it because it bothers you so horribly, but it has made the page worse than worthless. Now it is misleading. If you want to keep running this into the ground, please discuss it with someone who can only see YOUR point of view, such as Al Silonov. I have had enough of this nonsense. —Stephen 01:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

plurals of сосед
I believe the plurals in the declension table are incorrect, as сосед follows an irregular soft-stem plural declension, as can be seen on Russian wiktionary. I would edit it myself, but cannot figure out how to edit the declension table.

Why should it be mentioned here "originally by beheading" in the definition? It's part of etymology, or the definition of another (maybe obsolete), narrower meaning. The translations in most languages have nothing to do with beheading specifically. Andres 19:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Appendix talk:Ancient Greek Attic declension

I cannot seem to recall any examples of Attic declension nouns that aren't male, but I'm sure some exist. If someone could edit the appendix appropriately, I would be appreciative. Medellia 20:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Apart from masculines, there are are both feminines and neuters in the attic declension. E.g. η άλως, το ανόγεων. I don't know how to write text in ancient Greek, so I have not added feminines and neutrals to the table. Anybody who can, please do so. By the way, all Greek grammar textbooks of Ancient Greek I've seen, categorize the Attic declension as a subcategory of the second declension (which seems only natural to me, being a Greek). You can check it out here and here (both sites in Greek, but that shouldn't be a problem). I don't how the categorization stands in other literatures, so I just added a comment refering to the Greek categorization. Xzar62.169.220.17 07:55, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:maikaʻi

Part of Speech?
My Hawaiian dictionary didn't very well explain the part of speech of maikaʻi; from personal experience I would say that its part of speech is more fluid than simply noun. (My instinct is to call it a stative verb as well, but am hard pressed to find a confirming reference.) While I realize that I am as of this instant the only user with Hawaiian on my Babel, it would be nice were someone able to give some sort of confirmation. Medellia 21:52, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:βασιλεύς

Pronunciation
"Ευ," as here "εύ," constitutes a diphthong in Ancient Greece; thus I would not expect the pronunciation of the ultima as "yooce." Medellia 22:15, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Persian king?
Is it worth adding a fourth meaning referring specifically to the Persian king, since "basileus" without further clarifiction in ancient Greek texts (of a certain time period) tends to refer to the Persian king? Paul Willocx 20:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * You know, I was debating about that, but decided against it simply for simplicity's sake. But, the lexicons I'm looking at all mention it as an important usage, and if what you say is true (which seems likely, based on what I'm reading) it should be added.  Consider it done.  Atelaes 20:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Persian king 2
My etymology OR: vezir ... from an Iranian source. Compare Middle Persian wcyl (vičīr (early), wizīr (late), “decision, judgment”), Avestan 𐬬𐬍𐬗𐬌𐬭𐬀 (vīcira, “arbitrator, judge”) linked with Linear B etymology provided in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basileus Zezen (talk) 08:42, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
