Talk:loch

Is "loch" in the medicinal sense uncountable? — Paul G 08:52, 21 May 2004 (UTC) Etymology 2 – a medicine to be licked. Widsith 16:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not in OED or Websters. Probable joke. Deleted. SemperBlotto 16:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Contested sense deleted. Struck. bd2412 T 07:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

No joke, but references are sparse. In Du Maurier's 1898 novel, The Martian, the preparation of a medicinal loch for a cold is a minor plot point (page 310-314) Spelric (talk) 21:00, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Regarding SB's comment above: it does appear in Webster 1913 (though perhaps not the current editions...?). Equinox ◑ 21:05, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Wiktionary talk:Rhymes

Rhymes
The messages in this section were deleted by a vandal (diff) and years later restored (diff).

I am a new Wiktionarian and a long-time Wikipedian (on en). I have been led to believe (possibly by something on meta) that Wiktionary is a dictionary, thesaurus, English to Foo Language guide, Foo Language to English guide and a rhyming dictionary, but I have not seen any rhymes anywhere. Has it actually been brought up on Wiktionary, or should I just do what I want and figure it out when someone else cares? Tuf-Kat 22:45, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * For words that have pronunciations given, one could reverse them to make an index of rhymes. If you have a list of rhymes, and want to include it on a page, I for one would not complain.  List it along with the Syn and Ant subsections.  Hmm, but that would be redundant.  Perhaps a single page for the rhyming sylable, linking to all the applicable words?  Rhyme:ɛd for example would list bed, Fred, bled, etc.  Someone should populate it fairly well all at once (with blank pages) just to make sure the set is consistant.  —Długosz

 * I considered making a MediaWiki page that would include all the words of a certain ending sound. Then, placing  on a page could show a list of words that rhyme with gore, lore and whore, for example.  This would make it easier to edit, I suppose, but may prove too simplistic (for example, differences in pronunciation in different times and places shouldn't be oversimplified...). Tuf-Kat 21:00, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The messages above were moved from Beer parlour (permalink) to WT:Rhymes (permalink) and from WT:Rhymes (permalink) to this page (permalink).

 * I don't agree with the way the rhymes are being done. The index for each "rime" should have its own page - not appear on every single page! Some of these indeces will be enormous! And what about the letter combinations which form valid words in several languages - shall we have one of these bulky indices for each entry on each page? It will overwhelm the regular content. And what about rhymes which only count for a particular pronunciation? I think the rhyme section belongs in the pronunciation section with the homophones where a link can be added under its matching pronunciation, pointing to an index page which then lists all possible rhymes. — Hippietrail 06:26, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't have any attachment to this format, but I don't understand exactly what you're proposing. Why don't you implement it somewhere as a test and we'll see what it looks like.  Any other suggestions? Tuf-Kat 06:55, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * Appending my 1st attempt, still needs work of course... — Hippietrail 07:14, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * I think you should make an example page with a word that has more sylables, and show indices for maculine, feminine, etc. rymes. That is, rhyme deeper and deeper into the word.  Perhaps a multi-part link can do that succintly?  Click on the sylable and it gives rhymes to that depth (that and everything to its right).  —Długosz

 * Good idea! I'll try and implement it. TUF-KAT 07:48, 2 May 2004 (UTC)

 * The sample rhyme page is good. But the names of the pages--someone else pointed out the IPA vs SAMPA issue, but there is more ambiguity than that.  Is the length of a vowel significant?  Probably not, since the list already lumps together words that may rhyme only in some accents.  Someone just looking up a rhyme would have no idea to add the length dots or to put parens around the ɹ.  The only way to find anything is to start with an index of rhyme pages, or jump from a known word.  I think making the rhyme index page first is good, to serve as a list of the available (existing) pages, for consistancy.  It can also be critiqued as a set before all the pages are built. Also, I don't like the rhyme being indented under the SAMPA line in war.  It would be silly to show it for each notation, since they are all the same.  So I think it ought to be paralell with the pronunciations, not indented under one of them.  I'll change war to illustrate.—Długosz

 * I disagree on indentation. "War" is not a good example. A better one is "aunt", which would link to the rhyme page /-{nt/ for American pronuncation and have many rhymes; and link to the rhyme page /-A:nt/ for the rest-of-the-world pronunciation, and rhyme with few words (shan't, can't). This is one of the reasons I've changed the format of my pronunciation section to put all ways of writing the same translation on one line: AHD-IPA-SAMP - this way I can have one such line for each pronunciation and indent the homonym and rhyme section under the relevent pronunciation.

 * As far as looking up rhymes, only a very few people would even think of trying to type in the IPA or the SAMPA or any other pronunciation scheme. Most people would start at a word they want a rhyme for, and follow the links. Only contributors need mess with the SAMPA or IPA, which is a lot less to worry about. Now vowel length is absolutely important. Even more so in many languages than in English. I really don't see any point at all in using one form of IPA or SAMPA in the pronunciation section and another form in the names of rhyme indeces. What a nightmare for people trying to learn how to contribute!

 * When it comes to issues of dialect or accent in a rhyming dictionary designed for more than just one country, there's going to be problems. My suggestion is not to have rhyme index pages with brackets in them. Have one page for rhymes with the optional morpheme and one page without. Or if you do have the version with the brackets, the other two versions should exist and be linked. — Hippietrail 01:21, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Proposed format

 * rīmz, /raɪmz/, /raImz/
 * Rhymes: -aɪmz

rhymes

 * 1) Plural of rhyme.

 * 1) Second-person singular present tense of to rhyme.

Hi TUF-KAT!

Just noticed your rhymes appearing again. Watch out though because it looks like some of your page titles use IPA (-aɪmz, -æt) and some use SAMPA (-O:(r)) Personally I tend to favour the IPA but it doesn't really matter. We can always have redirects from one to the another. But consistency is always a good thing in the meantime... — Hippietrail 07:26, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I know nothing about phonetic spelling. Feel free to move any I mix up.

 * A question: gives all sorts of derivative terms, including scantily clad, newspaper ad and scouring pad, and even capital of Chad.  This seems strange to me, but I suppose could be useful.  Even if one thinks of the word pad, I suppose it has other connotations before "scouring" and specifying a specific use could be helpful... How common does a grouping of two or more words need to be in order to warrant an entry in Wiktionary?  And/or on one of these rhyming pages? TUF-KAT 08:14, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I'd hold off on rhymes that are multiple words for the moment. Set idioms may warrant appearing. If a phrase has a wiktionary entry I guess that gives it some credibility but maybe we should wait until poets start asking us for improvements (: — Hippietrail 08:41, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

 * P.S. Apparently brackets don't work as article titles, so SAMPA can't really be used for titles. Can all browsers display the funny-looking IPA characters? Is there a way to type them on a standard keyboard? TUF-KAT 08:33, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes I just noticed that myself. The browsers can display the IPA but some people may not have capable fonts. Most Windows users will have Arial Unicode MS though. Code2000 is a decent downloadable font which has most of Unicode. Of course, most people using the rhyme feature care more about finding what they want than what the pages are called. If the pages themselves also have SAMPA and AHD then they'll be able to read. And of course they'll get the pronunciation from the large number of rhyming words on the page anyway. The main thing as far as titles for the rhyme index pages is that no two pages have the same name. This is the best argument for picking one standard. — Hippietrail 08:41, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Oh and using the name "Rhymes:English:-æd" for "Rhymes:English:-{d" will get you out of trouble. — Hippietrail 08:49, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Rhyme index
As this seems to be a discussion page for rhymes, I've set up an index page called Rhymes:English that links to all of the rhyme pages I am aware of. This will be a candidate for the "Index" namespace that is being proposed in the beer parlour.

I am also in the process of adding comments to pages to warn people that, in order to feature on a particular page, words MUST be stressed on the first vowel of the name of the page. So, for example, "awake" rhymes with "bake", but "cornflake" does not (as "cornflake" is stressed on the -or-, not on the -a-). -- Paul G 09:53, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I would rather they be marked in some way then excluded. In spoken poetry, songs, etc, this distinction is often glossed over.  Thus, I think there will be a significant proportion of readers who will not care that cornflake must be pronounced with a different emphasis in order to make it rhyme. TUF-KAT 05:23, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

 * For now, I am not including them. I think it would be useful to do so, however, perhaps as under an "Others" section showing that the words don't rhyme properly with anything but could be used as "partial rhymes" to the words on the page.  This would avoid setting up a page for "-ornflake" that contains only the word "cornflake", which would not very useful. -- Paul G 13:06, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

The discussions from here up to the next "The messages above were moved" were moved from Rhymes (permalink).

No forms?
I noticed that in many of the rhymes lists, there are notices in comment tags that warn not to add plurals or third-person singular forms of verbs to the list unless they having meanings different from the respective singular or infinitive. Why is this? Do we not want as many rhymes as possible, whether or not they are lemma forms? --Yair rand 04:57, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That's the reason I came here too (two whole years later!) am gonna bring it up on the Beer Parlour. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:54, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Inflected forms should IHMO be allowed; they are actually used in rhyming. For a discussion started by Mglovesfun, see BP, January 2012. --Dan Polansky 10:38, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, IMHO "all words in all languages" implies "all rhymes in all languages" (but I'm not going to add the very many thousand of Italian verb forms just yet). SemperBlotto 10:42, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Because form rhymes have the potential to flood the rhymes pages, and make lemma rhymes hard to find, it may be a good idea to have a separate section on the rhymes page just for forms. —CodeCat 12:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

RFM discussion: December 2013–January 2015
So for example from Rhymes:Dutch:-ɑn to Rhymes:Dutch/-ɑn. Using / makes more sense because the software splits page names on slashes. 00:29, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. Plus it would be less likely to be confused with 'ː' (the long vowel symbol). --WikiTiki89 00:38, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Why keep the hyphen? Mglovesfun (talk) 19:19, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I oppose. Keep it where it is, keep the hyphen. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:33, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Synonyms

 * for places named after their inhabitants:
 * is also sometimes used for places named after inhabitants: =
 * is used like a suffix with root words to form names of some sciences: =

Etymology
From multiple sources, including extraction from words derived with from verb stems ending in -i, as well as from earlier and still dialectal -i(j)o, from -ja-i (for labial ai > o, compare plural forms of -type nouns), from  +.

Suffix

 * ; shorter form for a square meter
 * ; shorter form for a square meter

Etymology
Borrowed from, , , , , ultimately from , from.

Usage notes
A common but false misconception is that countries that end with -ia in Ido, for example, use this suffix when in fact it's part of the root itself. Though, -io at times can help shape country names to fit; uses the extra i so not to be confused with  at the same time resembling other country names.

Etymology 1

Etymology 3

Etymology 6
From via.

Etymology 1
Suffix on i-stems.

Usage notes
The suffix -iō is added to a verb to create a third-declension feminine abstract noun.
 * Examples:
 * , from
 * , from

Etymology 2
Extension of (possibly by rebracketing).

Usage notes
Personal appellations ending in -iō appear to have often had a derogatory or pejorative shade of meaning, which in some cases resulted in a sense near that of a diminutive, as in the case of.

Etymology 3
From -i-ō. Ultimately from.

Etymology 4
From Proto-Italic *-jō, from Proto-Indo-European -yé-ti (first person singular: *-yóh₂) after a consonant.

Etymology 5
Ultimately from. The question of how it came to be differentiated from third-conjugation -iō, -ere is still debated. Vine 2012 derives denominatives such as from  (with the thematic vowel *-e- before the suffix), proposing that unaccented Proto-Indo-European *-e- came to be assimilated in Italic to an immediately following *-y-. Alternative explanations include an Italic version of Sievers's law (that is, a prosodically conditioned development of postconsonantal *-y-* to *-iy- in certain contexts) or combination of the suffix with stems ending in *-i-. Some verbs may be derived from backformation from adjectives ending in, such as , whose finite forms are attested later than.

Etymology
From, from the adjectival suffix.

Suffix

Etymology
, from, based on Latin terms for metals, such as.

Suffix

Etymology
Variant of, initially after a stem that contained (for Brythonic  or from palatalization after a diphthong), later extended to other verbstems.

Talk:ineffable

Unspeakable generally has a negative connotation (E.g., unspeakable crimes or Oscar Wilde's characterization of fox hunting as the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable). I had thought ineffable connoted something so abstract or spiritual as to be inexpressible. -dmh 05:20, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

Talk:vir

Synonym?
Homo is not really a synonym for vir. Vir means a male human, homo simply means a human being.

voc. of vir ≠ vire
The Vocative of "vir" is never "vire". Its only "sometimes" spelled as "vire" when beginning Latin students get it wrong. Vir counts as a 2nd Declension -er noun. Only the 2nd Declension -us nouns have Vocative Singular ending in -e.

 * I just wanted to make the very same point – the voc. of uir is never uire.—Schmidhauser (talk) 12:40, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I’ve added an RFV for it; see WT:RFV (later Talk:vire). — I.S.M.E.T.A. 20:06, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Fixed it. Lowena (talk) 03:52, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Basic English
Wait is on the Basic English list only in its inflected form -- the list is like that sometimes. I'm adding it here to avoid a dangling link on the list, but otherwise I don't see much value in such entries.

There should probably be a standard basic format for such entries, which can be augmented by idiomatic usages, related terms and other pertinent info. -dmh 06:03, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: (obsolete) Watching, hence, an ogling. Is this modern English or Middle English? What does OED have to say? DCDuring TALK 17:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The OED has the sense "Watching, observation. Obs." Nothing about ogling, though. -- WikiPedant 19:40, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Do they give a cite with a date or an author? DCDuring TALK 20:36, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, three quotations, all well before Shakespeare: 1377, c1430, and 1526. I've emailed more info to you, but don't want to post their full citations, since it feels too much like a (moral, if not legal) copyright violation. -- WikiPedant 20:44, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

We still have no quotations of our own to attest to it. Shall it pass or fail? — Beobach 20:02, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, I left the "watching" sense but removing "ogling". This shall be put on the talk page as "RFV-archived" rather than passed or failed. — Beobach 22:53, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep because it has a plural. Equinox ◑ 22:10, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There's nary an -ing form that can't have a plural. I would prefer that our standard be the existence of a semantic difference of some kind beyond the normal meaning of the -ing form. Thus earnings, losings, and winnings have distinct meanings. In this case I doubt that the meaning given would be attestably distinct from meanings of the -ing form. DCDuring TALK 23:28, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Firstly, I think there are -ing nouns without plurals (I once gave "defragmentings" as an example). Secondly, if we use the standard you suggest, and if the noun has no other sense than the obvious one, how are we supposed to represent it in Wiktionary? Would we have a typical plural noun entry (like kitchenettes:) pointing back to a singular... verb? Equinox ◑ 23:33, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sure what we can find some -ing forms that don't have plurals, probably a higher percentage than on ordinary nouns that don't have attestable plurals. The same issue would apply to the possible existence of comparative forms of -ing forms. The underlying problem is the possible repetition of many verb sense reworded to suit the noun or adjective PoS and the need to keep the -ing form coordinated with changes in the verb entry. DCDuring TALK 16:44, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * For the definition line perhaps we could use a standard boilerplate, like "Agent noun of verb" sometimes used for verb-er. In any case I don't think the existence of technical hurdles means we should omit valid words. Equinox ◑ 20:06, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:wait on

This needs work. There is a subtle distinction between wait on and the more common wait for. For example, wait on tends more to be used in the progressive and less in the imperative (which would imply the serving sense, not the strict waiting sense). This is probably a dialectal variation, but I don't have enough data points. -dmh 06:28, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
 * (Answering over four years later!) In Texas, at least, "wait on" simply replaces "wait for" in all relevant meanings. I suspect it originates with German settlers mistranslating warten auf, but I can't prove it. Angr 18:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * (and a further year and a half later). It certainly does not originate with a mistranslation of German. The OED has a citation from 1694.
 * I agree with dmh that there is a subtle distinction. From the evidence of my own ear, I would say that "wait for" is the more general version, whereas "wait on" has the more specific connotation of "take no action until". The OED says something similar (wait: v.1; sense 14i. for the phrase "wait on"): "To remain in one place in expectation of". 24.42.114.42 03:19, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * (and another nine years later) Even if the construction existed in English before, that doesn't rule out that its contemporary existence in the US could be entirely due to non-English influence. It has been shown that the sense "stupid" for dumb was originally Pennsylvanian and thus clearly due to German influence. Nevertheless there are a few attestations for this sense in Middle English, but they had no continuation. However, what is even more likely is that the existing, but rarer, construction in English was reinforced by foreign influences. Note that other Germanic languages like Dutch, Danish, Swedish, also construe their words for "to wait" with the preposition meaning "on, at the top of". 90.186.170.236 01:44, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

What's the difference between derived terms and daughter terms?

 * Well I guess I may be confusing even myself with this part. What we have here are three different kinds of derivatives: derived words within the same language (pugnus "fist" $$\to$$ pugnare "fight"), derived words in another language (English pugnacious, technically from pugnax but close enough to serve the point here) and words that aren't technically "derived" so much as "inherited": Spanish puño, Italian pugno, and French poing weren't borrowed from Latin, they're just pugnus changed over time... daughters of the original word.  I don't know how best to describe these categories.... the first one is basically squarely covered by =Derived terms=, and =Daughter terms= is as good as any for the third one, but I don't know how to label the second category (words like pugnacios).  It would be good to get input from others on this...  —Muke Tever 21:22, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

 * This is exactly why I was just using a simple "Related terms" heading. It's too tricky trying to classify them. Not worth the trouble.
 * I have put a few headings along the lines of "Cognates in other languages" - which I think is very useful for people learning foreign vocabulary. — Hippietrail 05:31, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Sounds over-complicated. Even some of the English terms were just "inherited", just the original word changed over time.  I'd vote for simplicity for now, with complications explained in text where necessary.  RSvK 05:48, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
