Borrowed from, from +. Named by French chemist and biologist, who saw it as the part of air which cannot sustain life.

Noun

 * 1)  nitrogen.
 * 2) * 1823, Chemistry, entry in Charles Maclaren (chief editor), Encyclopædia Britannica, 6th Edition, page 366,
 * Hence it is obvious that deutoxide of azote is a compound of one volume of azote and one volume of oxygen gas united together, without any alteration of volume, consequently its specific gravity is the mean of that of oxygen and azotic gases.It is composed, by weight, of azote 0.9722 or 1.75, oxygen 1.1111 or 2. If we reckon the atomic weight of azote 1.75, this gas is obviously a compound of one atom azote and two atoms oxygen.

Asexual
Somebody who is asexual is not interested in sex, or in other words is sexually unresponsive. In any case, the two are often confused and asexual should be included as a related term. George Makepeace (talk) 19:59, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Asexual is not etymologically related to frigid. I wasn't disputing the relevance. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:03, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:verb

Are the definitions:

 * 1) a word that serves as the predicate of a sentence
 * 2) a content word that denotes an action or a state

two distinct senses of this word, or two different definitions of the same thing? The latter, I suspect, in which case they ought to be merged. Note however that some of the translations refer to sense 2. — Paul G 16:06, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

verb
Needs proper citations. --Connel MacKenzie 22:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This rfv applies to verb as a verb. DAVilla 16:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I have provided one more quotation. I do not know if the disputed sense meets CFI or not. — Beobach972 04:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

 * RFVpassed. — Beobach972 04:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Auxiliaries in English
The definition right now is "(grammar) A word that indicates an action, event, or state.". This says nothing for auxiliary verbs like "could". I want to add something for this to the definition but I don't want to make it too complicated. Can anyone think of a wording? Rkaup (talk) 20:22, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't. See auxiliary verb Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 20:51, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Was the use of "verb" as a verb meaning "to use as a verb" coined by Watterson in Calvin & Hobbes, or just popularized there? Can we note that in the etymology or notes section? --Jtle515 (talk) 02:53, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Usage notes
Awhile to mean “for a while” is often considered incorrect to use with a preceding preposition, since one is already supposed: instead of “for awhile”, one should prefer either “for a while” or simply “awhile”. However, “awhile” as object for a preposition is used by renowned writers, is allowed by Merriam-Webster, and is consistent with how other adverbs of time and place are employed.

In Pennsylvania Dutch English, awhile is typically always used to convey such sense; the word is separated as “a while” for the first sense, whether preceded by a preposition or not. Compare “You may sit awhile” (inviting a person to sit while they are waiting) and “You may sit a while” (inviting them to sit for a length of time).

Noun

 * 1)  bird

Etymology 1
Borrowed with an unspelled /h/ from, cognate to 🇨🇬, and as from 🇨🇬, from Semitic root ḥ-w-y (live). The form might have been contaminated by Etymology 2, especially as the latter one's long vowel also ended up short via iambic shortening; this would explain the reluctance to spell the aspirate, as well as its interpretation as a verb form. Attested since Plautus.

Pronunciation

 * Note: around the 1st c. a.D., the current pronunciation remained the etymological, with the long-vowel unaspirated form possible as a literary affectation, or as a poetic license.

Interjection

 * 1) hail, hello, farewell, greetings! (a formal expression of greeting)
 * Aue Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
 * Aue Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.

Usage notes

 * Outside of grammarians, the plural is attested only once in Apuleius, who is known for affecting archaisms. This suggests that this greeting didn't usually inflect for number, reflecting its originally being an interjection and not a verbal form; nevertheless, it was eventually widely interpreted as the latter.
 * The other verbal forms cited by grammarians are the future imperative,  etc., and the infinitive in the circumlocution    (after the same use with  and the very rare ).

Usage notes
The object of "avenge" is generally the act of injury or the injured party, never (in modern usage) the injuring party. The injuring party may be specified with "on," as in "to avenge X on his killer," but this is rather more common with "take/get revenge" and "revenge oneself" than with "avenge."
