Most of the translations of the verb were entered before I added several definitions. The ones that don't identify which definitions they refer to may need work. Ortonmc 02:12, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Two noun sections under one etymology
How can that be? __meco 11:21, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * It must have been an error in this case; it's evidently been fixed. Equinox ◑ 16:17, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Past tense
Is lead ever, or ever had been, the past tense of the verb to lead? Aaadddaaammm

 * No, except as a misspelling. Since the metallic element lead is pronounced the same as led, it sometimes happens that someone will misspell led by writing lead. It’s always an error. —Stephen (Talk) 10:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Are you sure this spelling was never usual? Because it is standard in "read". And most (or all?) other verbs where  /i:/ is shortened to /e/ also keep the spelling in the past tense, like "dealt", etc. So it's a misspelling today, but it may have been usual in Early Modern English; though I couldn't say that it was. 84.57.154.13 01:34, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The spelling of past-tense read is due to analogy with the present tense; one would etymologically expect red. However, it would be no great surprise to find that some EModE writers analogically extended lead to the past tense in the same way. Given the fluidity of EModE spelling, this wouldn't've been considered "nonstandard", though such a analogical form would've probably only been used by a minority of writers given its failure to survive.

Adjective Use
For the Etymology 2 adjectival use, isn't "lead" as an adjective broader in its domain of use than just music? For example "lead editor," "lead surgeon," etc.? Should we say change then qualifier to indicate that its use is not solely in the domain of music?--216.15.48.194 01:13, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Flemish

Dutch and Flemish
Moved from Beer parlour I agree with the definition that Flemish is Dutch as it is spoken in the Northern part of Belgium. Flemish is not a language in itself, but a regional variety of Dutch. But in some articles words are translated in Flemish. Do we want to translate words in all languages plus all their regional varieties? (Australian English, Canadian French, Brazilian Portuguese, ...) If this is the case, then I have nothing against Flemish being included. If not... Any opinions? D.D.

 * Lots of opinions, but no solutions. There is probably no more reason to have separate Wiktionaries for Dutch and Flemish than there is for American and British English.  Still I believe that when Dutch and Flemish have a different word for a concept there is a need to illustrate that difference, and to explain the usage difference.  Swadesh originally set up his lists to measure the differences between two languages.  In that way such a list that would show Dutch, Flemish, Afrikans, Surinam dialect and even Frisian together on the same page could be very interesting.  Eclecticology 23:14 Apr 14, 2003 (UTC)

 * I agree that Flemish is not really a separate language, but when I see that the words that I consider to be Dutch, but that really are only/mainly used here in Belgium are deleted, I want to be able to add them again. Sometimes we use different words more often, sometimes only the sound/pronunciation changes, sometimes differences are more subtle like word genders not being the same between the two variations of the language.

 * I moved a translation of fart from Dutch to Flemish because I had never heard of the translation prot before and it's not in the van Dale dictionary (or any other dictionary I have). I think that if someone uses wictionary to translate fart into Dutch he shouldn't end up with a word that only Flemish people understand. Maybe we should mark them (Flemish) instead of placing them on a separate line? InfoSlave 17:02 Apr 15, 2003 (UTC)

I'm thinking along the same lines as InfoSlave. Since Flemish is a form of Dutch we could indicate that on the same line as the Dutch translations. BTW, the "big" 3 part van Dale of 1999 has the noun prot and the verb protten with these senses, but they are marked gew. (short for gewestelijk (= regional)). D.D.

 * Deleting them doesn't seem right. The need is to explain the differences. Those of us that are not Dutch/Flemish speaking can't help very much, but can be passively interested. Eclecticology

Usage notes

Etymology 1

The initial me- is the same me component seen in many terms referring to senses of "female". The final -su portion is of uncertain derivation.

The kanji as used originally in Chinese and in older Japanese with the on'yomi of shi referred more specifically to female birds. If the term mesu is much older than the 1800s, the final -su portion may be the ancient morpheme that appears in various names for types of bird, such as or.
