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 Bill. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bill~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.

Talk:quinella

verb sense verified. Removed rfvsense Andrew massyn 16:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

quinella
Verb sense: to have two members of the same team finish one and two in a competition. Supposedly went through RfV in 2006, but cites out of format, don't seem durably archived. Search didn't reveal any archived discussion of RfV process. Verb might be citable. DCDuring TALK 04:28, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * gets more than 133 hits; the sense seems to be “to win both first place and second place in (a competition)”, usually in clauses of the form “<competitor> and <competitor> quinnellaed <competition>”. It doesn't seem to be a given that the two competitors must be from the same team; and even aside from this, our current definition needs to be rephrased to correctly identify the subject. —Ruakh TALK 11:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * That's something I didn't get. I thought at least that the horses would be from the same stable, the Olympians would both be from Africa, if not Kenya, etc. The problem with with subject derives from the sense of the "sides" being a little nebulous, but, to me, unmistakable. I wonder if a bettor can "quinella" a race, so that the "same side" is more open-ended than def. now shows. Though the noun usage is mostly about betting, the verb didn't seem to be. Most of the usage seemed to be from the Melbourne Age and a New Zealand newspaper that might be repeating the same stories. I didn't check bylines, but this might be the product of one writer. DCDuring TALK 11:30, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Yeah, it does seem that the two winners have to be "same" somehow, just not the same team necessarily. The problem I meant about the subject is that our definition implies the subject should be some third party, since this sense of "have" is used to mark a non-participant as a topic ("yesterday I had a good friend get hurt in a car crash" means something like "yesterday a good friend of mine got hurt in a car crash, and you can imagine how that makes me feel"). So according to our definition, the subject could perhaps refer to the team/stable/continent/country, or to the bettor/audience/venue; but in fact, it seems usually to refer to the first-and-second-place winners themselves. —Ruakh TALK 12:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I suppose you don't want to hear of trifected, which is what Kenya often does in the distance events. (Unless Ethiopia is also there ;-) (yes, there are a few random googles, but more are mis-forms of trisected)Robert Ullmann 12:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:cover

Etymology
Middle English coveren < Old French covrir < Latin cooperire (to cover completely). This commonly alleged etymology sounds so dubious. French ouvrir "to open" is likey derived from Latin operire, while couvrir "to cover, close" unlikey from cooperire. The prefix co- would be the last to be used for making such an antonym.

Alternatively, both English cover and French couvrir "to cover" may be cognate with French couver "to sit on eggs", all derived from Latin cubare "to lie," which in turn was derived from Greek κύβος (kybos) "cube, vertebra." More cognates include Latin cubus "cube," cubitum "elbow, cubit," incubare "to sit on eggs, incubate," English incumbent, hump, hive, hip, OHG huf "hip," etc. As such, this etymology is so fertile that it might also include even English cup, cap, cape, cove, hoof, etc.

The incubus is said to "lie on" a woman, while the succubus to "lie under" a man, to have sexual intercourse with her or him in their sleep. To lie on one thing after another is to heap or build up vertically as cubes and vertebras do. To sit on eggs or chickens is to kneel down and cover them up.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the original sense of the verb and noun cover was hide from view as in its cognate covert. Except in the limited sense of cover again, the word recover is unrelated and is cognate with recuperate.

Korean 굽 (gub) means "hoof, heel (as of shoes), foot (as of bowels)." As a stem of the verb 굽다 (gubda) and its cognate 굽히다 (gubhida), it means "to bend, curve, mount, roast, bake, etc." Meanwhile, Korean 눕다 (nubda) "to lie on the back" is reminiscent of Latin nubere "for a woman to marry" and English nubile, nuptial, nymph, etc. However phono-semantically similar, Korean words remain a false cognate to Indo-European.

cover into?
Chambers 1908 defines cover into as "to transfer into". This seems incredibly vague: can anyone give examples? Equinox ◑ 08:18, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:dwarf planet

Note about the Min Nan translation
ref: Tea_room

I'm not very confident that he̍k-chheⁿ is commonly understood to mean planet in Min Nan. At least one other person expressed similar sentiments on the zh-min-nan:w:Talk:he̍k-chheⁿ page, he̍k-chheⁿ is the Min Nan reading of the Japanese term. 台灣話大詞典　(Tâi-ôan-ōe tōa-sû-tián) ISBN 9573240785, and 台語-華語線頂辭典 (Tai-gi Hôa-gí sòaⁿ-téng sû-tián) both list hêng-seng 行星 for planet. I posted a note on zh-min-nan:w:Talk:he̍k-chheⁿ with the above comments (in Min Nan), I will try to keep the English wiki in sync with any developments that may arise from that query. A-cai 04:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I have have translated what has been discussed so far with respect to the Min Nan translation of "planet":

Translation of zh-min-nan:w:Talk:he̍k-chheⁿ
This is the first time I have heard the expression "he̍k-chheⁿ." Could you provide your source for this, for example: which dictionary is it in, or who was it that told you? Thanks Taokara 11:08 2005-11-11

 * he̍k-chheⁿ is the Japanese way of saying it.
 * Almost all of the old children's primers and manga write it that way (in Chinese characters).
 * The Mandarin word for planet and star are both pronounced hêng-seng in Min Nan.
 * For now, I will translate star as chheⁿ (as per A-giâu's usage in the sun article?), and planet as he̍k-chheⁿ. I will translate all astronomy items as ...-chheⁿ.  For interesting items, I will rely on vernacular pronunciation (ex. translate Pluto as Mê-ông-chheⁿ instead of Bêng-ông-seng).
 * I will try to write a section. Please feel free to edit or make additions.  Thanks --Kiatgak 11:33, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I found the word in a Japanese dictionary ^^ Perfect, if that was the way it was said in the past, then let's just use that. No need to go back and forth between Mandarin with this. Awesome! Taokara 15:23, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I have never heard the word "he̍k-chheⁿ." I checked both Tâi-ôan-ōe tōa-sû-tián ISBN 9573240785 and Tai-gi Hôa-gí sòaⁿ-téng sû-tián.  They both translate planet as hêng-seng.
 * A-cai 04:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I have never heard anyone say "he̍k-chheⁿ." But now that I think of it, I have not heard anyone say "hêng-seng" or "hêng-chheⁿ" either.  If we go by the (current) Mandarin expressions, 行星 is "planet" and 恆星 is "star."  However, both of these are pronounced "hêng-seng" or "hêng-chheⁿ" in Min Nan.  To be honest, it's a mess.  A-giâu 12:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * When I asked a native Min Nan speaker today, I was told that people merely use the word chheⁿ for "planet" and "star." I was told that right now, because the majority of Min Nan speakers are fluent in other languages (especially Mandarin), Min Nan speakers do not have an in-depth knowledge of scientific terminology for subjects such as astronomy.  Perhaps the grandparents of this generation might be proficient in the use of this kind of language, but today's speakers don't really talk this way.  Question, do you think the above sounds reasonable?

A-cai 10:57, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Chheⁿ (chhiⁿ) simply refers to something that flickers in the night sky, but is not as big as the moon. All I know is that at some point later on, it was divided into many different subtypes.  A-giâu 13:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure of how to pronounce these words in every dialect except for mine. I agree that it would be practical to have auditory pronunciations, though, for the utterly clueless.

lang=en
Why lang=en parameter doesn't work? Maro 21:03, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it did work until recently, but the template documentation always indicated people should not use it. Therefore, people didn't. Therefore, most English requests for pronunciation weren't in the English category anyway. Therefore, I didn't feel bad about making  not work (which is what I did recently; I also changed the documentation to not discourage use of , since it doesn't do anything now anyway). I don't mind making it work again (nor if someone else does), but then (a) the documentation should tell people to use it and (b) preferably KassadBot (our current autoformatter) should add   to each English rfp, something he currently does not do. —msh210℠ (talk) 06:47, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I used it. And I was adding lang=en to English entries.
 * After your changes to the template, we have something like this:
 * Entries with lang=en parameter are not in the category Requests for pronunciation (English) but in Requests for pronunciation
 * Entries with lang= parameter other than 'en' go to the Requests for pronunciation and Requests for pronunciation (Language) category as well.
 * So, in the Requests for pronunciation category we have 1,725 entries from all languages.
 * How an English speaker who wants to add pronunciations to some entries can do that?
 * There should be a separate category for each language like we have for example in
 * Category:English terms needing attention
 * Category:Requests for etymology (English)
 * We don't put English terms needing attention to Category:Terms needing attention by language, do we?
 * I think this template/category should work as – one language-one category. Maro 19:54, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * As I said, although, yes,  did (until recently) add words to the English category, that was not much use, as most English requests for pronunciation weren't tagged  . But fine: I'll now revert my removal of them from that category. —msh210℠ (talk) 08:16, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Since (per this discussion), English terms are in the English category, I've now added  to every time this template was called in an English entry (and the right code for other languages also), so that Category:Requests for pronunciation is now empty of entries. (Well, it has one, which is translingual and I didn't know what to do with.) Now we can treat that category as a cleanup category. The question is, how do we get users to start putting in   to this template (and, which categorizes the same way this template does)? If set the default (no language specified) category to Requests for pronunciation (no language specified) instead of Requests for pronunciation, I think that would help. Thoughts? —msh210℠ (talk) 15:39, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I personally would have Category:Requests for pronunciation as the default and encourage people to add lang=en. FWIW for the relevant category is Category:Definitionless terms (language unknown). I'm not too fused as long as whatever it is, works. --Mglovesfun (talk) 16:05, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've edited the prologue of Category:Requests for pronunciation to indicate that people should use . —msh210℠ (talk) 16:46, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's ok. Entries with no lang= parameter should go to the category Requests for pronunciation. Maro 18:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. The user behavior issue seems to be that:
 * contributors sometimes forget to put in the language code or
 * they can't figure out what the language code is.
 * Having something ugly and obvious happen when there is no lang= code addresses 1 but not 2. Unfortunately it addresses 1 at the cost of a noticeable amount of extra typing for a large number of contributors. Moreover, it risks adding frustration for newer English-language contributors.
 * Some language should get the benefit of not having to type in the language code. As this is English Wiktionary, there is an obvious choice. We could easily have User:Bequwbot (which handles etyl templates) do the same thing for rfp and rfe, to wit, periodically identify those rfps and rfes that do not have a lang= parameter that does not match the L2 header, based on a processing of the XML dump, I think. This seems like a straightforward solution that lets one group of contributors benefit from typing economy, while not letting misclassifications remain for long. I suppose "missing" lang= parameters could be added in this way as well, though the ugliness of the huge number of subcategories could be handled in other ways, such as User:Leolaursen's suggestion (made for a parallel situation, AFAICT) of creating a category that includes all RfP categories and disincluding the non-English rfp (and similar) categories from the "no lang=" RfP category.
 * Let the technical adepts and categorizers serve users and contributors, not the other way around. Let's not have the tail wag the dog. DCDuring TALK 23:33, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Category:English terms needing attention
This template should not categorize in this category. The change already worked for would seem applicable. I'll work up the courage to do it in a couple of days or possibly revert to an earlier version that doesn't do this. DCDuring TALK 23:06, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It doesn't; edit the template, do contol + f (find) and search attention, the word does not appear! Mglovesfun (talk) 23:11, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It took me an hour or more over two days to find in the entry. Sorry. DCDuring TALK  17:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Playing well with rhs ToC etc.
This template generates a great deal of whitespace when used near the top of the page if a user has opted for ToC right. Not every template does, so I assume it would be fairly straightforward to change it. I noticed it when adding it to acquis. DCDuring TALK 20:12, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Problem only arises when does not begin the line. Obviously, one solution is to correct that. I wonder whether it would make sense to have  handle that situation better. DCDuring TALK  20:18, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Accent as numbered parameter
Accent should not allowed to be a numbered parameter. The problem is that comments sometimes appear in the position assumed to only be occupied by an "accent" name. This seems to me to be a bad template programming practice. Alternatively all of the rfp template instances that have something in that position that is clearly not an accent name could be marked for cleanup. DCDuring TALK 21:57, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * See Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:accent:This_is_not_an_IPA_pronunciation. and lines containing "accent" at Special:WantedTemplates. DCDuring TALK 03:14, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The benefit of having accent as is that the practice of using "US" or "UK" (or, yes, other, lengthier, comments) as  predates the coding (in rfp) that adds a category based on  and is entrenched, and there's really no good reason to change it — and getting people to add another parameter simply to categorize when it duplicates the parameter they've been adding all along is likely to fail. (As an example, see WT:TA: just about nobody uses   in . Had I somehow rigged WT:TA to use attention's second parameter instead of a new one (not that I think that'd be possible), it would see much more use.) The detriment of having nonexistent templates show up on whatlinkshere lists and wantedtemplates seems to me to be a very small price. —msh210℠ (talk) 05:48, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * This continues to mistreat comments. Request templates don't usually require this. See lines containing "accent" at Special:WantedTemplates. The detriment is that it makes detecting blunders of various kinds harder to detect. The least that could be done is to manually insert "comment=" and make sure it is handled properly OR to extract the comment and insert it as an HTML comment or equivalent}}.

Category talk:100 English basic words

I use the word "most" much more often than I use the word "shall", but that's not how they're ranked in the Gutenberg texts. I suspect the language is changing enough that "should" is more common, and I think I use "most" about more often than that. Inevitably, there will be conflicts over what the 100 most common words actually are, in the English language; I'm not sure that Gutenberg got it completely right.

Galactiger 13:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Recommendations
These categories really need an explanation at the top. I would have had no idea that this was from analyzing Project Gutenberg books if there had not been the previous comment above. Also, why are there 101 words in this cat? --Cromwellt|Talk|Contribs 15:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and it depends on what the criteria are. If we are referring to the most common in print, that will be different from the most common in conversation, and both will be different from the most common in school books as well.  The link at the top of this cat goes somewhere else, and I can't find the correct target.  --Cromwellt|Talk|Contribs 16:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Confusing reference
Since Wiktionary seems to go by Project Gutenberg's list, it is rather confusing to have the link to Literary Trust's list featured prominently on this category page without any comment.

Also, the list appears to be too long now (101 words). __meco 10:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Deletion debate
This is outdated, and there are not 100 words in it! Below is a copy of the discussion, from Requests for cleanup, more than 2 years ago. I'd strongly favor this information in appendixes.

First of all, there are 101 words in there. Secondly, I often see a word that ranks somewhere over a Hundred in Gutenberg, but is in this category. Third, there are so much of those lists around, I do not know which one to choose. henne 17:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This was a list of words created and designated by THEM, and is not based on what words are most common. It's a "starter vocabulary", and the equivalents of these words are deemed to be a good starting point for a new Wiktionary project. --EncycloPetey 06:22, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

 * My analysis of Project Gutenberg (as a corpus) has no relation to this person's project. I find them interesting in comparison to each other, as well as to the other Frequency lists we have.

 * Perhaps if I actually had compared them in earnest, I would have noticed (before now) that it links to a copyright site, that has a no-commercial reuse clause. So this should move from WT:RFC to WT:RFDO.  :-(

 * --Connel MacKenzie 06:26, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

 * But I will not move it to RFDO myself, as that would possibly look like I'm favoring Project Gutenberg unfairly, or some-such. --Connel MacKenzie 08:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as it appears the copyright on this list is not compatible with Wiktionary. Could we include it as an appendix if there are copyright problems? --Bequw → ¢ • τ 14:51, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:14, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Are we talking about the UK National Literacy Trust list of 100 basic words? Do we think they are out to sue us for breaking copyright? There might be a reason for WMF (or us) to convince them to use one or more of the licenses that would make it automatic for us to keep it. It is safe to assume that they haven't copyright on the category name. Keep category, find or compile copyright acceptable list of basic words. Perhaps the vast technical resources of Simple English Wiktionary can help. Or we could borrow/link from them. DCDuring TALK 16:15, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It could be replaced with the top 100 Gutenburg words by frequency. We should remove copyvio's regardless of what we think the other organization will do. If they do allow it in the future it can always be added back. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 17:31, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The 100 most common words according to Gutenberg are mostly pronouns and prepositions. That list would not be too useful and we already have it as an appendix I believe. -- Prince Kassad 18:06, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep & RFC These words were added by the long-gone Conan (and his Bot). The original link on the category page was not to the UK site but to here (a cached copy of the now-dead original page). But oddly, the words in this category don't match up to either published list. So there's no copyright violation going on. It leaves us with the fact that we don't know how these words were choosen, which is why I think they should be sent for cleanup, not deletion. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 20:37, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

When "pray" was used to emphasize requests, this standard construction (as, "pray come here", "pray help us", "pray leave me") was an earnest request for information.

Talk:octopi

Actually, I've found that no matter the etomogically correct plural form of Octopus, Octopi is the most often used, and the form taught in the classroom. The English language is, at any rate, descended from many languages, not all with a latin root, and to apply latin rules in all instances to a language which was severely contorted to even accomodate a few rules, seems slightly idiotic to me. Is this dictionary cataloguing the way a language should be, or the way words are actually used in the real world? 81.79.204.93 AS English Student [Anon]

 * Though I am a prescriptivist, Wiktionary is a mainly descriptivist dictionary, at times mentioning that “X thinks ignorant usage is incorrect” or “Considered bad style by many”. Anyway, you seem to have misunderstood my RfC; octopus comes from Greek, not Latin (as the entry incorrectly states) — this is what I want corrected (I would correct it myself, but I do not know to which Greek declension octopus / octopodes belongs). Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 20:56, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I corrected it myself regardless. As pous>podes does not seem to fit into either the Greek first or second declensions, and as no article exists for the Greek third declension, I can only deduce that the rule comes from the third declension. Oh well, if I’m wrong, I imagine that someone will come along and correct me... Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 21:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

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 Silvermane. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Silvermane~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 00:06, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:geezer

Is geezer really used in the meaning of boiler?

If so, is it an alternative spelling for geyser?

For me, the feeling of geezer is someone who either has not kept up with current pop culture, or is perhaps living in the past. More than just old, it is old and out of touch. You wouldn't expect to see a geezer using an iPhone or surfing the 'net.

None of the official etymologies of "geezer" explain its common meaning in US English, "a useless old man." I would like to offer a possible explanation: There was a tremendous amount of German immigration to the US in the 19th century, and "giessen" is German for the verb "to water," as in "water the lawn." Germans hearing the word may have tended to apply it to an old bloke rather than any bloke (as in the UK) because of its seeming reference to urination. Associating old guys with their bathroom functions (sometimes the only functions they have left) can also be seen in the common Yiddish expression "alte kocker," i.e., "old pooper." Ken Atkatz (talk) 00:09, 11 March 2019 (UTC) Ken Atkatz, a geezer

etymology
How sure are we that geezer is a short form of guiser? Did the vowels match at the creation date? Our mentioning of G Kieser seems intended to cast doubt on the etymology without directly saying it's wrong. I can see the possibility that two terms influenced each other or even merged, though. — Soap — 06:02, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:lich

Pronunciation
The pronunciation given is correct for definition 1, but not for 2. For the fantasy and role-playing term, the pronunciation typically rhymes with witch (with some pronoucing a distinct "t" and some not). As evidence of this, see vs. Clearly the "es" ending is more widely used. -Harmil 01:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've heard "lick" as well, but I think it's safe to just call it a mistake. It's easy to hyper-foreignize pronunciations when dealing with fantasy and role-playing games, and it's especially easy to make this particular mistake because this rhyme is usually spelled -itch (with rich as one obvious exception). — Soap — 16:16, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * There may be also some interference from lichen, which unexpectedly also has two pronunciations. — Soap — 19:15, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

lich
Sense: (obsolete) A body. [9th-15th c.]

Doesn’t that make it Middle English? — Ungoliant (Falai) 19:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, depends when it disappears, 1470 is our arbitrary cutoff, isn't it? Mglovesfun (talk) 19:58, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

 * A number of editors have variously proposed changing the cutoff to 1470, 1473 or 1476, and I don't think we have a majority in favour of 1500, but: 1500 is our cutoff until there is majority support for a specific other date, because 1500 is the cutoff the ISO uses in defining vs, and as Prosfilaes said in the BP discussion, "changing from that" so that our use of  no longer matches the ISO's should be "an overt act".
 * I favour making the "(any) body" sense ==Middle English== and/or an ===Etymology===. - -sche (discuss) 20:07, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think ISO has much of a business in defining what English is, but I do agree that if we change our own definition we should agree on it. 20:16, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Additionally, let's see if we can't find any usages of the word (or its unassilibated variant like/lyke) after 15th c. I am pretty certain it is still a dialectal word, and also featured prminantly in several compounds (e.g. lichbird, lichgate, lichwake, etc) Leasnam (talk) 20:23, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I was always under the impression that 1470 was the cutoff (Wikipedia). Leasnam (talk) 20:36, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * A list of distinct languages implicitly defines its contents; the mere presence of Middle English (enm) on the ISO 639-2 list defines English (en/eng) as not including Middle English. The -1500 part just offers a clear definition for what enm means.--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:08, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I see another issue: what evidence do we have that the "body" referred to in the first sense isn't limited to a dead body? The compounds seem to all use the "corpse" sense. I notice that both senses are dated from the 9th century, and the 15th century end date of one sense corresponds to having no end date mentioned- so they don't contradict each other. I do note, however, that the dates were added to both senses at the same time by Widsith, who also converted an original cross-reference to "like" into the current/rfded first entry. If they do boil down to the same sense, than one of them should be deleted Chuck Entz (talk) 21:38, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

 * PS: 1500 is the cutoff WT:AEN uses (WT:AENM doesn't mention a date). - -sche (discuss) 21:54, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I added a cite from Piers Plowman, which is where I primarily know it from. Is it "Middle English" (I hate that term)? Yes, mostly, but there has already been community consensus to include ME evidence for words which have survived into modern English, which this obviously has (though not this sense). Ƿidsiþ 06:03, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
