Hi there. Have you seen the article in the Beer parlour? I did it back in January and it showed only about 30% of articles were English entries, properly formatted. I think it is getting better though. What is this "big article" you mention? SemperBlotto 11:36, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it's closer to 50% now... even though both english and non-english are growing.

UW
Thanks for your invitation to comment on Unified Wiktionary. You certainly have a lot of enthusiasm for the project!

I have to decline, however. I'm better at organizing and filing. The clear thought required for that careful analysis, though possible for me to do, is not easy for me. And I have to put limits on my Wiktionary time.

Best wishes, --Stranger 23:52, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * No problem, and thanks for the fast response. I think we'll find a clever way to merge databases, in the end; and will be interested to hear your filer's thoughts on whatever schemes are dreamed up. +sj +

 * Hi Sj,

 * I already commented on the page for the Unified Wiktionary. I'm a strong proponent of the idea. The bot I'm trying to create though is not focused on exporting to UW. That's just one of the many useful things it's supposed to do. For the moment it's vaporware, alpha level code that I won't let loose on actual wiktionary pages. You can have a look at User_talk:PolyBot and you will find a link to the sourceforge page to have a look at the code. I'll be very interested in commnents and suggestions.
 * Right now I'm concentrating on a parser. I have a rudimentary export functional for en.wiktionary and nl.wiktionary. There is still a lot of work to many of its parts. What I'm working on right now is the parser for the translations section. I already have the parser working for definitions (what's under the POS header) and synonyms.

 * Cheers, Polyglot 21:30, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * As for your question whether you can test it on a test wiktionary. It's not very hard to download an SQL dump, set up MySQL and import the dump on your own PC. On Linux it's almost trivial if you're not afraid of get your hands dirty, err, I mean to read some docs on the internet.
 * The code I'm writing is not connected to the rest of pyWikipediabot for the moment though. The best way to test it, is to look at the files ending in ...test.py. Those are unit tests. Each one testing a specific part of functionality and reporting success or failure.
 * Connecting it to make use of what pyWikipediabot can do, won't be very hard to accomplish, but I wanted to concentrate on writing functionality that interests me and I don't want to risk the bot going on line before it's ready for prime time, which may still be off for a year or two, who knows? It's slow going all by myself, with a limited amount of time to spend on it. Polyglot 22:08, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

UW's BP
There's a discussion on the BP about renaming the BP to something more "sober". Does UW have a BP (Beer Parlour)? What is it called? Can you reply on the BP? Cheers, --Stranger 19:35, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

βασιλεύς

Etymology
From, with developing by. Cognate with 🇨🇬, that is, *gʷasileus. Further etymology. Multiple Indo-European etymologies have been advanced. Beekes considers it in origin. Possibly from an language (see ), although the Mycenaean (Linear B) evidence points to an original form with initial gʷ.

Case-forms show shortening of the original stem ; see.

Noun

 * 1) chief, master
 * 2) king, lord, patron

Usage notes
Greek leaders ruling in distant lands, such as those of Ptolemaic Egypt, often use the word βασιλεύς to convey authority, an example of this is exemplified in the use of the phrase ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (Ptolemaiou Basileos) on Ptolemaic coinage minted for use in Egypt. During specific periods of Greek history,  was used to describe certain foreign leaders of comparable authority, such as the Persian kings and Roman Caesars. In this usage, it often took on certain modifications, such as a lack of definite article or the use of the adjective.

seems to think that the pronunciation should be jiā or xiá, not jiā and jiá. Also curious when the altered pronunciations appear and if they indicate any separate meaning. Apparently 大浹江 was an old name for the Yong but no idea which tone would be used. — LlywelynII  18:06, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

For what it's worth, this dictionary seems to think it's jiā and jiá is just a regional affectation in Taiwanese (which should be noted separately from the main Mandarin entry, I'd think). — LlywelynII  18:08, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

 * I've made changes to the entry accordingly. It's not Taiwanese (i.e. a dialect of Hokkien), but standard in Taiwanese Mandarin. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 17:27, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

If Cmavo is going to be used as a part of speech, then I think it should get a page to describe what it stands for. Polyglot 07:40, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

the cmavo are broken up into many categories, which have many different functions. unfortunately, they're given codes rather than names (zy is of selma'o BU), and some contain only one word with a very specific use. calling this one a Letteral would probably be the best idea--Vladisdead 08:00, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Talk:cromulent

misc
is this used outside of a single episode of the simpsons?--Vladisdead 08:06, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * No. It was invented as an example of a non-word, which suggests that it does not belong in a dictionary. — Paul G 11:17, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm almost sure it was used in two Simpsons episodes. ;)
 * I would, though, say the meaning is closer to "authentic" than "correct" (one line was Yes, he's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance.)—the definition here has a few problems actually. It does appears over 11,000 times in Google; its appearance on the show brought it directly into slang.   —Muke Tever 14:38, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Well, I would say it falls under the category of slang. I do hear it used, though admittedly not often. I guess it's part of the bigger issue of if slang and other non-official words should be included in the Wiktionary project. I for one would say yes, let the wiki be as flexible as the language is. CGP

 * The characterization of "cromulent" as a nonce-word is more appropriate than slang. It was invented for a particular occasion.  The etymology may be from the Dutch krom or the German krumm, meaning "crooked" or "bent", but which in turn has such strange derviative expressions such as zich krom lachen, krom spreken and zich krom werken.  This etymology is speculative, and should not be a part of the article without further verification.  Groening's ancestry was Mennonite German, and he spoke German (perhaps a low German) at home when he was young.
 * The word is definitely a word. It belongs here.  It is a part of contemporary literature just as much as the vocabulary of Jabberwocky is a well-rooted part of 19th century literature.  We are fortunate that there is no such thing as an "English Academy" to rule on the officialese of words.  This strengthens the view of a dictionary being a descriptive process instead of a presciptive book of rules that dictates the legitimacy of words.
 * Eclecticology 18:53, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Ah, good, so it can be labelled as a nonce word then. — Paul G 16:11, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Cromulent has 282,000 googles. (Which means people may need to look it up to so they can understand what they are reading online). RJFJR 15:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I have often heard this word used ironically to actually mean "dubious" or "incorrect", especially to describe words such as "embigggen". 210.55.97.206 02:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I imagine that this would likely be by people who did not understand the original use. --129.44.190.12 15:34, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed concise definition
I have come up with what may be the most concise definition on the internet:

An illegitimate word used to describe something as ironically legitimate.

Written by me, Yama Anonymous 15:42, 02 November 2007

Also, to answer some of the [above] questions-- YES it is used in academia, even: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=cromulent&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=ws

Excellent, realistic or authentic
"He's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance." Okay, Skinner says this in the Simpsons episode, but to define it as "excellent, realistic or authentic" is mere guesswork, trying to work out what meaning might fit the sentence. Is this really acceptable here? 86.153.15.186 23:42, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Why "not comparable"?
Why is cromulent listed as "not comparable"? All of the potential synonyms of cromulent are comparable (you can be more realistic, more authentic, more acceptable, etc).

Because the word cromulent happens to not be comparable; not all words are equal.Tesseraction 05:42, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Valid
Surely the word is valid?

"It's a perfectly valid word"

"He's embiggened that role with his valid performance. "

The second one may not flow that well, but is still perfectly cromulent.

Accidentally stumbled across a real-world usage
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/OpenSource/Conceptual/ShellScripting/SubroutinesandScoping/chapter_3_section_7.html -- "The source builtin is more popular among former C shell programmers, while the period (.) version is more popular among Bourne shell purists. Both versions are perfectly cromulent, however."

coined by Simpsons or Blackadder?
See http://wordie.org/words/cromulent. Apparently the word was used on Blackadder in 1987, Simpsons in 1996?

 * I'm vaguely familiar with that Blackadder episode Ink and Inkability, and I remember that Blackadder attempts to confuse the writer of the first dictionary by using a lot of dubious words. I don't remember cromulent being in it. Perhaps somebody misheard? Equinox ◑ 02:42, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The myth that "cromulent" was one of the words keep circulating. (It is, btw, Ink and Incapability) This is the exchange:

Dr. Samuel Johnson: [places two manuscripts on the table, but picks up the top one] Here it is, sir. The very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language. Blackadder: Every single one, sir? Dr. Samuel Johnson: Every single word, sir! Blackadder: Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafribularities. Dr. Samuel Johnson: What? Blackadder: "Contrafribularities", sir? It is a common word down our way. Dr. Samuel Johnson: Damn! [writes in the book] Blackadder: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

 * To which the argument is made that Atkinson didn't follow the script, and did say "cromulent", but no-one seems able to produce any proof. (A youtube clip would do nicely, but apparently Atkinson did follow the script.) Robert Ullmann 07:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

This clip makes it clear he says "common," not 'cromulent.' Tesseraction 05:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

The clip linked above has been removed from YouTube. This clip is likely the same segment.

RFV discussion
I believe this can probably be cited. But given the nature of the word, I also believe it needs to be cited; specifically, per CFI, it requires 3 durable cites for each sense which are independent of The Simpsons. -- Visviva 17:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Note that this was kept—Requests_for_deletion/Archives/2006/05—as a nonce used in a well-known work, not requiring any other citations. It would be nice to find a few if we can, but it is not required to keep. Robert Ullmann 18:02, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Missed that, thanks. But that's bizarre.  If a Simpsons episode counts as a well-known work for CFI purposes, then surely all Harry Potter, Star Trek and Star Wars coinages would be acceptable too.  I thought the only well-known works we admitted were Shakespeare, Milton, and the like.  -- Visviva 02:02, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

 * This is not a general opening for all words in such series, or even for words coined on The Simpsons. The word in this case was a deliberate coinage for the purposes of humor which then acquired a life of its own.  Thomas Jefferson is creditted with coining belittle:, and the episode aluded to that fact by creditting Springfield's founder with coining embiggen.  When the "realness" of that word is called into question in an aside comment, a character replies that it's "a prefectly cromulent word".  In other words, the word had attention deliberately drawn to it as a word, and it has since delevoped a mystique of its own.  This isn't true for most other words used on the Simpsons, or for words coined in other series. --EncycloPetey 18:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't know where you're getting that from. I don't see anything in the RFD discussion to suggest that any of those were considerations. (It's true that one can make the distinctions you describe, but what has that got to do with anything?) —Ruakh TALK 22:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * You've jumped the track. The question from Visviva was about the larger issue for the future, not about what happened in the RFD discussion. --EncycloPetey 16:26, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * No, he was quite explicit — if our reason for allowing cromulent: is that episodes of The Simpsons are well-known works, then the same applies to all Harry Potter, Star Trek and Star Wars coinages. Now, we can go back and re-evaluate that decision, and find a different rationale for allowing cromulent: while rejecting others; and you've provided some good arguments we could use in forming that rationale. But unless you're actually suggesting that we do so, it's irrelevant. —Ruakh TALK 17:22, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Now cited independently of The Simpsons. -- Visviva 16:04, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

quotation?
What does "see 1996 quotation" mean? There's no quotation here. --173.16.43.140 15:36, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

 * There is a quotation — several, in fact. Do you see, to the right of the definition, something that looks like [#|quotations ▼] ? Click on it to see the quotations. —Ruakh TALK 15:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I cannot find any, either. Does the display of quotations rely on user-side script execution? 212.184.171.204 14:14, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Try a modern browser with default settings. Equinox ◑ 14:26, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Both the original hiding and the appearance of the added [#|quotations ▼] button rely on user-side script execution. Users that don't have js enabled don't have the quotes hidden in the first place. --Yair rand (talk) 17:04, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I just got here by wondering where the heck the 1996 quotation was, too. Can't see the quotations link in Safari, Firefox or Chrome on my Mac, nor in IE11 in a virtual Windows 8.1 machine; Javascript is enabled in all of them, and my browsers are pretty vanilla, settings- and extension-wise. If I search the page source in Safari, the only reference to the word "quotation" is "see 1996 quotation". If I *edit* the page I can see the quotations, but I don't know enough about Wiktionary markup to fix whatever's wrong... Gothick (talk) 16:39, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I can see it fine - Google Chrome under Windows XP. SemperBlotto (talk) 17:07, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Cognates
I don't have a citation (this being spoken in my hearing), but I've encountered the noun "cromulence" - which obviously names the property shared by cromulent things that makes them so (fineness, acceptability, normality, excellence, etc.).
 * A cognate is a term that is inherited from a common ancestor and has become different by the processes of language change- analogous to cousins in the realm of genealogy. The word "cromulence" would be derived from "cromulent", or at most derived from the same source, so would be like a child or a sibling.
 * I would put cromulence under a "Derived terms" header, if it really does exist. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:43, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Does this exist? Polyglot 15:48, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * It's in Webster 1913, AHD4, and m-w.com, but I expect its usage is probably quite rare—generally now when people need numbers that big they use exponential notation. —Muke Tever 16:29, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Each sense. Used at all? Per morphological definition? In hyperbole?DCDuring TALK 16:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * At least some have used one sense. DCDuring TALK 03:58, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Citations seem pretty easy to find. I would expect most of them to be in the modern "short" sense rather than the original French "long" sense, since that system has progressively died out as our need for names for very large and very small numbers has grown.  But some careful calculations may be needed to make sure.  My best guess is that the "long" sense will turn out to be dictionary only - for instance, an entirely different result is obtained with a gbooks search cutting off at 1960. Spinning Spark  06:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm torn between strict adherence to our attestation criteria and maintaining the "long" sense to help someone who might stumble over its use somewhere. DCDuring TALK 09:49, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've been too busy today to go through the cites and separate them out - maybe I'll get round to it tonight - but two stand out immediately as being the long sense. Can you clarify for me the rule on mentions please.  If an author uses nonillion but then immediately explains the term in running text does that count as merely a mention?  What if the author uses it without explanation in running text but defines it in a footnote or endnote - does that then count as a use?  An awful lot of them fall in to one of those two categories. Spinning Spark  13:23, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I certainly prefer a more pure use, but that is a personal preference, perhaps widely shared. Purer usage doesn't seem to be a requirement. There is some vague gradability of use vs mention, witness the adjective mentiony (wikt jargon). Others tolerate almost any such occurrence of a term used in text in its own language. Some even accept such use of italicized terms and transliterations from other languages. It helps if it is not in quotes or italics, I suppose, or if the definition is in a footnote, or if two senses are being differentiated, etc. DCDuring TALK 13:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Re: "If an author uses nonillion but then immediately explains the term in running text does that count as merely a mention?": No, that's still a use. Criteria for inclusion explicitly permits this, giving the example of “They raised the jib (a small sail forward of the mainsail) in order to get the most out of the light wind” in an account of a sailboat race. (I think there may be limits to this — for example, if a book about pretentious language uses+explains various pretentious words for the sake of seeming clever, I would not consider that a very credible use — but that's the general idea.) —Ruakh TALK 14:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * @Spinningspark: How do you know that the 2011 Gobus cite uses the "long" sense? Google would not let me see the underlying Table 3, which might support it. DCDuring TALK 19:19, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Except for the Fowler quote, each of the short quotes establish that they're short quotes in the quote. (FYI: a standard-sized ice cube is one cubic inch.) The 1819 long quote is slightly erroneous in leaving out billions; it requires inspection of the table on the previous page to make sure we're really talking about the long scale. (Of course, it doesn't make any more sense as a listing of the short scale, and it is well and truly public domain, so easily accessible.) I've added a footnote from the text to make the 1837 sense clearly long scale; however, it strikes me as as clearly hyperbole as the quote we have under hyperbole, and the footnote likely to be added by an editor. The Henry Globus one doesn't justify it in the quote, and given that we have several citations of "This totals about five nonillion (5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) bacteria" and that for that to be long scale, it would have to not only be a septillion times larger, it would have to be exactly a septillion sizes larger, which strikes me as more unlikely then a simple copy of the 5 nonillion number for bacteria from some other source. (Of course, it could have misunderstood the original nonillion as long scale and then repeated it as long scale...)
 * I don't think "(slang, hyperbolic) An unspecified very large number." fits our one citation under that heading at all. It's not slang in senses #2 or #3, and sense #1 seems to claim that all rare words are slang. "And saw a nonillion, no, a novemdecillion of them!" is not just any unspecified very large number; it's one that's smaller than a novemdecillion.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:17, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that slang is wrong. But that kind of use seems at best to imply and depend on some ordering, not on any precise equality. I don't think that writer would feel that they had erred if someone pointed out an error in arithmetic in their use of such words; they would feel that the critic had missed the point. I view this as just a step removed from words like "gazillions". DCDuring TALK  22:23, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Do we really need two hyperbolic entries, one under Noun and one under Cardinal Number? I assume that was an oversight?
 * I'm not sure how far we want to take this. If someone writes a short story about a man-eating moose that's chasing down hikers and eating them, are we going to make a definition "any moose-like creature" because he obviously wasn't concerned about errors in zoology? If an author says "crushes them like a moose had run over them", he's not depending on specific details of moose-hood. Musicians have used "eyes of green" because green made the rhyme scheme work; does that make "some color suitable for eyes" a definition of green?
 * And when someone writes "a trillion, a nonillion young men" or "And saw a nonillion, no, a novemdecillion of them!", the order clearly matters, so they don't support just "An unspecified very large number." Each definition line should stand alone, but you lose critical information if "And saw a nonillion, no, a novemdecillion of them!" is replaced with "And saw an unspecified very large number, no, an unspecified very large number of them!".--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:30, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Re the Gobus quote, the author may well be mistaken but he definitely meant the long nonillion which he explicitly enumerates earlier in the book and which can be seen in the e-book version. I cited the print book rather than the e-book as I was unsure whether e-books counted as durable.  I would have thought that it is only his use of the 1054 number that concerned us here, regardless of whether that is an accurate count of bacteria.  Spinning Spark  23:44, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This appears to be the original paper that came up with the five nonillion number (although they don't use that word) and conclusively shows Gobus is in error. Spinning Spark  23:57, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's nice to be clear about what's exactly going on in a quote, especially when we've got confusion going on. In particular, I think the clarification should be permanently on the word page with the citation. (I'm sure some logician/philosopher/linguist would have a heyday with a true statement that was misinterpreted and printed as a false statement that was misinterpreted by the readers back into a true statement.)--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:30, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the effort that has gone into this determination. But, pity the poor user of the entry. DCDuring TALK 03:30, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added a footnote, but would be ok with the whole cite being removed if you don't think it is helpful. Spinning Spark  14:02, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

 * All senses pass RFV by my ken! Impressive work! - -sche (discuss) 06:18, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
