nucleoside

Noun

 * 1)  an organic molecule in which a nitrogenous heterocyclic base (or nucleobase), which can be either a double-ringed purine or a single-ringed pyrimidine, is covalently attached to a five-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA). When the phosphate group is covalently attached to the pentose sugar, it forms a nucleotide.

glucose

Etymology
Through, from ; note: -ose comes from glucose, not the other way round. In other words, the view of the word glucose as gluco- + -ose is a reanalysis rather than a historical etymology. This is unusual for being a reanalysis that works completely, that is, without any leftover nonsense syllables (such as the ham- in reanalyzed hamburger).

Noun

 * 1)  A simple monosaccharide (sugar) with a molecular formula of C6H12O6; it is a principle source of energy for cellular metabolism.

Talk:by

Please someone check the danish word - I'm pretty sure it should translate as "town" (or even "city"?). Very possibly also in norwegian. \Mike 12:42, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

completion
What would it mean if I said I was going to loose 10 pounds by Christmas? Does it mean that I can loose the 10 pounds by Thanksgiving and have completed the goal? Or, is the time frame also implied (meaning I have to have to weigh 10 pounds less on December 25th 12:00AM than my weight at the time of making said goal)?

Are you trying to win a bet or achieve a health goal? If a health goal then you ought to lose the weight and keep it off. If you are trying to win a bet, then the word "by" favors you. It means on or before Christmas. It is like a race. If someone crosses the finish line, they have finished the race. If they then walk back along the course so that they are before the finish line when other racers come in, that does not matter. DCDuring 04:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

English etymology
I deduced this from the bī-page, where is stated that Old English "bī" means "by".

Before the beginning or before the end
By 2012 means before Jan 1st 2012 or before Dec 31st 2012?
 * Had the same question when coming on this article page. I think should be "no later than" the end of 2012. Found this reference here on "by" on Merriam-Webster.com: meaning "3 b : not later than  ".142.244.23.245 20:13, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

 * This isn't really a question about "by", but a question about what "2012" means: you could equally ask whether "from 2011 to 2012" includes all of 2012 or just the point where it starts. I think it's ambiguous and depends on context. Equinox ◑ 20:03, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I am not sure but I would disagree that it is about 2012. When one says "Please have the report ready by 2 p.m." it would mean it can be ready before but it should certainly be ready at 2 p.m. as in "not later than". What do you think about that? Regards, 142.244.23.245 20:13, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Well, it's 2012 for ~365 days, and it's 2 p.m. for ~60 seconds, right? I would expect the report to be due at 14:00:00 and no later, even though it's technically still 2 p.m. at 14:00:59. But minutes are so short that we tend to treat them as instants in time, whereas years have long duration. Equinox ◑ 20:17, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The instant-period distinction is as critical for the use of time prepositions as the point-(line/area) distinction is for spatial prepositions. I don't think that 2pm has any duration, except perhaps to physicists, clockmakers, and computer scientists. I'd be very surprised to hear an adult native speaker of English say "during/in 2PM", whereas "during/in? the week of the 20th", "during/in 2016". Conversely, "at 2016", "at the week of the 20th" don't sound acceptable to me, whereas "at 2pm" is. By "looks for" a point in time. Given something that is not clearly a point, it seeks something more specifically a point in time, like "first thing in the morning" or "close of business". DCDuring TALK 22:54, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Take me by the hand
Erm, do we have a sense to cover this? I can't see one. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:14, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Ajax was stricken by madness by the goddess Athena
The Microsoft® Encarta® 2009 reads

Ajax was stricken by madness by the goddess Athena.

What is its right syntactic analysis? The only one I come up with is [by madness [by the goddess Athena]], that is with some elided verb between madness and the second by. --Backinstadiums (talk) 12:20, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Looks like an error: one is stricken with madness. Equinox ◑ 12:47, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Equinox's alternative is certainly better. Were it not for the second by phrase, I wouldn't call it an error. It seems more a style error than a grammatical one. DCDuring (talk) 18:39, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Is stricken an adjective? Secondly, what is the syntactic role of by the goddess Athena? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:47, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

best-by date
What meaning is used in best-by date? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The same one as in the very common "BEST BY MM/DD/YYYY" stamped on food packaging in the US: "Not later than". DCDuring (talk) 13:20, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

"A blank white eight-by-eleven sheet —G. Keillor, 1989". In such double measurements the smaller number is placed first in AmE and the larger in BrE. --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:03, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

By the by
We could do with a sense that corresponds with the meaning of the second appearance of by in the phrase by the by. It would be good if we could find uses outside of that phrase to justify it and if and when it's added to this entry it should probably be marked archaic or obsolete. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 15:03, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:beanie

I've replaced the example. I don't think it's helpful to have amusing examples, especially ones that use made-up words ("psychotronic"). I haven't had a sense-of-humour bypass - it's just that I think that jokey examples are often not helpful in illustrating the use of words. Feel free to edit or alter my example if it still isn't illustrative. — Paul G 14:01, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The current def would work also in Australia but it doesn't cover the "propellor beanie" which is a classic American cartoon nerd/geek stereotype marker. I'd be pretty sure it could cover some type of headgear of similar design/construction without the propellor too. I'm not sure if the def should be expanded or if it would be a separate sense. — Hippietrail 18:46, 12 Oct 2004 (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 Ampersand. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ampersand~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 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 * S’pose people left money laying around where he was—what did he do? He collared it. S’pose he contracted to do a thing; and you paid him, and didn’t set down there and see that he done it—what did he do? He always done the other thing. S’pose he opened his mouth—what then? If he didn't shut it up powerful quick, he'd lose a lie, every time. That’s the kind of a bug Henry was; and if we’d ’a’ had him along ’stead of our kings, he’d ’a’ fooled that town a heap worse than ourn done.

Usage notes

 * Falsehood, Falseness, Falsity; untruth, fabrication, fiction. Instances may be quoted in abundance from old authors to show that the first three words are often strictly synonymous; but the modern tendency has been decidedly in favor of separating them, falsehood standing for the concrete thing, an intentional lie; falseness, for the quality of being guiltily false or treacherous: as, he is justly despised for his falseness to his oath; and falsity, for the quality of being false without blame: as, the falsity of reasoning. — The Century Dictionary, 1911.

Norman

Etymology
From, from (a variant of ) and.

It is certain that the word is derived from the base of the words for  and the Germanic base of the words for. However, given the frequent movement of Germanic groups especially into and out of Britain in the post-classical world, it is unclear in what tongue it came to be used first. In addition, the generally accepted meaning, a person from Normandy or one of the many French-speaking invaders to Britain, was used chiefly by Anglo-Norman and, though it originally referred to any Scandinavian of the time. See also.

Noun

 * 1) A person whose ancestors are from Normandy or who resides in Normandy.
 * 2) A member of the mixed Scandinavian and Frankish peoples who, in the 11th century, were a major military power in Western Europe and who conquered the English in 1066.
 * 3)  A Northman.

Talk:north

etymology
sorry the etymology of north is so bizzare. i swear to god im not making this stuff up! (ampersand)

RFD
This sense:  Of wind, from the north. seems wrong to me. We frequently describe winds by their source direction, but it doesn't "feel" to me like that's a property of all the various possible source directions ("north", "north-northeast", "land", "sea", "desert", etc.). —Ruakh TALK 16:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I think it's OK, except for the meteorology tag. Historically though you're right. In OE, the word was just an adverb. It appeared either alone as an inflected adverb, or as a stem-form in compounds. So north wind: as a set term is attested much earlier than other more obviously adjectival uses (although there are plenty of them). Another way of looking at it, though: this could be kind of interpreted now as almost an attributive noun – "wind of the north", just like "wind of the desert" and your other examples. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 16:51, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. A good place to put a usage note on this would be nice, but I don't know where. Maybe at all the nouns that collocate with the direction words: wind, breeze, etc. —msh210℠ (talk) 22:35, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Actually, I'd like to know how the adverb "from the north" works, and I'm about to RFV it. Could someone sat "the wind blew north" meaning "blew from the north"? That would be confusing! I think the fact that "north (adjective) wind" means "wind from the north" rather than "wind blowing northward" is just as confusing: "north" has two rather opposite senses, and they aren't the product of sarcasm ("oh, that's just great..."). Thus, I say we keep the meteorological sense for clarity. Other dictionaries also have both adjective senses ("to the north", "from the north"). If Widsith also thinks the sense is OK, that makes this RFD a draw, and since it's been more than a year, I'm going to close it. - -sche (discuss) 17:43, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

RFV discussion: February–March 2012
Rfv-sense, of the adverb "Of wind, from the north." I just closed a year-old Request for Deletion of the adjective "from the north"; the adjective sense is easy to find in books and other dictionaries. I'm having a hard time thinking of an example of this adverb sense, though, and I checked a few other dictionaries, and they also lack it. Even in phrases like "blew north from", it seems to mean "blew towards the north, from (a southerly point)", as in: "1986 had seemed a year of immense possibility. Now a disaster loomed, of consequences yet unknown, and radiation blew north from Chernobyl." (2008, Richard Rhodes, Arsenals of Folly: The Making of the Nuclear Arms Race, page 4.) - -sche (discuss) 18:08, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems like a mistake to me. Doesn't appear in the OED either. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 10:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:stapler

Regarding the hyphenation - hyphenation does not necessarily break between syllables (as in "stapl·er" here) but it is meant to be such that you can pronounce the part of the word at the end of the line correctly even before you see the rest of it at the beginning of the following line. I think "sta·pler" would make you say "st{" rather than "steI", while "stapl·er" looks ugly; "stap·ler" would have the same problem as "sta·pler". Then again, I haven't checked any reference works to see which, if any, is correct. — Paul G 09:26, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * I agree that both look odd but since syllable final /{/ does not occur in English, I would choose "sta‧pler".
 * On a related note, I highly recommend using the character U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT, "‧" rather than the Catalan U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT "·". Check this discussion. — Hippietrail 09:41, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Usage notes

 * The noun was originally a mass noun, but in American English is now sometimes treated as a plural noun, either as a plurale tantum, or as the plural of a new noun, contrary to the original Greek , which is a singular noun. The American pronunciation implies this plural usage, which many authorities nevertheless consider erroneous.

User talk:Brim~enwiktionary

Hello Brim,

Welcome to Wiktionary and thanks for your contributions so far.

I see you've added a couple of list pages (types of adjectives, list of English contractions, and so on). These are useful but some changes need to be made to them.

First, Wiktionary pages define their title, so a page titled "adjective" gives the definition of "adjective", and similarly, a page titled "types of adjective" would define the phrase "types of adjective", which isn't what you want. So pages that are just lists of words go in their own namespace, usually the Wiktionary or Wiktionary_Appendix namespace, which show that they are lists rather than definitions. So these pages would be better placed at "Wiktionary:Types of adjective", etc. I will move them for you.

Second, some of the pages you have set up already exist or are in the process of being created by means of the Category namespace. By adding to the pages for "isn't", "he's", etc, these words get added to a page that contains a list of English contractions. So a category would probably be the more appropriate approach here, and will mean that you aren't duplicating work already done by someone else.

Keep up the good work - I hope you make many more contributions. — Paul G 10:09, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC) (Wiktionary sysop)

 * I've moved "List of English contractions" to a category. The list will be automatically updated by adding  to any page that defines a contraction.  For example, see isn't - follow the link from that page to see the list of contractions. — Paul G 11:48, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Paul, thanks for your useful suggestions regarding the proper way to place lists in the Wiktionary namespace and the use of categories. I agree that listing the contractions as members of a category is the most useful way to link them together. However, I think that the definition for contraction should display a link to that category page, and I was wondering the best way to do that. Adding a link   to the bottom of the contraction page is a bit of a perversion, since it would then list the word "contraction" on the list of contractions. I accomplished adding the link to the category page by using an external link  . This seems to work, but I was wondering if there's another way to accomplish this, since I'd like to avoid using external links when it's truly a Wiki link. Thanks. —Brim 00:19, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

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