Here is a clue:

http://names.voa.gov/SearchAction.cfm

 * I have changed /al-qāʕeda/ to /al-qāʕida/, a more standard way to render the standard or classical Arabic pronunciation. al-Qaida matches better than al-Qaeda, so do the translations in other languages. Anatoli 22:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Appendix:Taxonomic names

 You'd do better to look in Wikispecies for taxonomic classification Wiktionary Appendix: Taxonomic names

This is a draft for a list of taxonomic names, down to about genus level. Bacteria, especially, are very incomplete. Do note that taxonomy is not static:
 * 1) one and the same name may apply to a group that will vary considerably in size and circumscription over time and between different taxonomic systems
 * 2) a taxon may belong to different groups of a higher rank depending on the taxonomic system used.

However taxonomy is a very exact science and great care is needed to be precise. For individual species, look in the genus entry.

eat one's heart out

Etymology
Disputed. Three schools of thought exist:
 * From "This will eat your heart out.", suggesting that the recipient of the taunt will have their heart, the core of their being, eaten out with desire, bitterness, or pain.
 * From the 16th century "to eat one's own heart" (to suffer in silence from anguish or grief), possibly from the Bible "to eat one's own flesh" (to be lazy). The phrase "to eat one's heart out" appears as a formulaic phrase in the Iliad, meaning to experience extreme grief. (For instance, Iliad.24.128, and many other locations.)
 * When used as the taunt "Eat your heart out, [someone]!" a suggestion that the recipient of the taunt "eat up" as much as they like. Figuratively more akin to "experience me besting you."

Verb

 * 1)  To feel overwhelming sorrow, jealousy, or longing; to grieve.
 * The Brazilians are eating their hearts out over their defeat by Germany in the World Cup.
 * Eat your heart out, pal! We won the title!

Talk:eat one's heart out

Shouldn't this page be moved to something along the lines of "eat one's heart out" which would include most variant forms of this? --Mark4011 19:04, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Possibly, but the second-person usage seems idiomatic (more idiomatic?). "I sat alone, eating my heart out" seems to have different connotations.  OTOH, the second-person usage could just be called out specifically under "eat one's heart out." -dmh 19:30, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"Enjoyment" usage?
Is this phrase sometimes used in modern times as a synonym for the verb "enjoy"??? --71.111.194.50 18:13, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

interjection usage?
I'm confused. I always thought this was an interjection - "eat ya heart out!" - or at least that's the way it has been used in my life. And this meaning might be a little different to the one already supplied (though I'm not really sure what that might be)... ---> Tooironic 05:49, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Not exclusively. Many English predicates, nouns, and adjectives can be used as if they were interjections. The interjection PoS is often reserved for expressions used only as interjections. I sometimes insert a context tag "(often) used as interjection" if there is a distinctive sense. A usage note can also help. I'm not sure about this case. DCDuring TALK 10:47, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Regardless, I've only ever heard it used like, to make an example, "Look at that girl. Britney Spears eat your heart out!", as in, "Look at the girl she really looks like Britney Spears." ---> Tooironic 00:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Differing etymologies
I'd like to see some scholarship on which etymology is correct. Only the middle one (Iliad) really sounds convincing. Equinox ◑ 11:48, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Damascus

Etymology
From, from , from a form akin to 🇨🇬.

The etymology of the ancient name Damascus is uncertain. It is attested as Imerišú (𒀲𒋙) in Akkadian, T-m-ś-q (𓍘𓄟𓊃𓈎𓅱) in Egyptian, Dammaśq (𐡃𐡌𐡔𐡒) in Old Aramaic and Dammeśeq (דַּמֶּשֶׂק) in Biblical Hebrew. A number of Akkadian spellings are found in the Amarna letters, from the 14th century BC: Dimasqa (𒁲𒈦𒋡), Dimàsqì (𒁲𒈦𒀸𒄀), and Dimàsqa (𒁲𒈦𒀸𒋡).

Appendix talk:English idioms

This should move to the Category:Idioms page, but let's clean it up (e.g., remove leading "a") here first.

Many entries here are not idioms
Draft dodger is not an idiom.If you can discern the meaning from the literal common definitions of the words in the phrase you don't have an idiom.

 * Right. A draft dodger is someone who tries to avoid gusts of wind.  No, wait.  It's a baseball player the Dodgers have picked (should be capitalized, though).  No, wait.  It's a photographic manipulator one could hook up to a plow ... see WT:CFI for the call on this -dmh 15:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

New List to be created
I am about to create a separate page per each section of this list. They will be accessible at List of idioms (*), where * represents a capital letter.

Namespace
Belongs better at Appendix:English idioms

Wiktionary:List of idioms
This (and 26 subpages) should be moved to the appropriate namespace. --Connel MacKenzie 09:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * It seems like a useful TODO/Request page, as the note at the top says. It should be retitled as such, since the "official", automatically updated page is the Category:Idioms.  I'll start going through it removing items already tagged as idioms and ones not in "normal form" as described on CFI.  -dmh 15:29, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Hsa been moved to appendix namespace, thus kept.--Keene 21:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

"This page is being phased out."
I hope this means moved or transformed somehow instead of removed. Could somebody kindly shed some light on this matter? Palosirkka (talk) 07:57, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Although I reference this page a lot, many idioms do not have verifiable sources... so regrettably that is probably the main reason for the phasing out... I assume it means removal, in the page itself, but certain idioms being incorporated in other fashions... (however, right or wrong explanations of idiomatic expressions; this page was very useful in my writing, and in my studies on literature.) 165.138.95.59 14:56, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

RFD discussion: April–July 2018
So, this page has finally been phased out. All decent red links (and probably a whole bunch of crap ones too) were moved to Requested entries (English). --Cien pies 6 (talk) 10:33, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This had a long edit history and lots of long lists that were copied elsewhere. Does that need to be kept for copyright purposes? -- Beland (talk) 22:57, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Copyright issues? Unlikely. --Harmonicaplayer (talk) 15:06, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Re-milestoneing
We've had the situation before, where a milestone was "passed" multiple times. The decision has always been to keep the first of them. The 150,000 milestone is a temporary thing, until the rules are changed back anyhow. Right now, the "statistics" (besides being a meaningless measure of pretty much anything) are wildly undercounting entries, including the batch of a few thousand that are now undercounted for technical reasons. --Connel MacKenzie T C 15:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

We have words from one-third of all languages
As of 2016-02-24, en.Wiktionary has codes for 7831 languages, including one attested proto-language (Proto-Norse), 138 unattested proto-languages, and 32 constructed languages (of which 13 have exceptional codes); thus, we have codes for 7661 attested natural languages (including Proto-Norse), which is actually higher than most estimates of how many languages there are in the world. As of 2016-02-03, en.Wiktionary had at least one entry in 1676 languages (21% of the languages that have codes), including Proto-Norse and 69 unattested proto-languages and a number of constructed languages. Some of the 79% of languages that have codes but no entries probably have translations (especially in [[water]] and other big entries). - -sche (discuss) 01:04, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm interested about the bit regarding counting how many languages there are. Ethnologue estimates there are about 7100 languages around currently; we add attested extinct languages to that number, in which case that might be a reasonable way to explain the discrepancy. Our doublets and macrolanguages are probably counteracted by extremely obscure languages not yet given ISO codes that we haven't found need exceptional codes yet. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:11, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I generally see figures of "up to 7,000" quoted for how many languages are spoken in the world. Ethnologue includes more dialects as separate languages than we do (they seem tempted to split everything except the languages they speak), though we split some things they don't. I do find it amusing that they would estimate 7100 languages, but include several hundred more codes than that. - -sche (discuss) 06:27, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * As of 2016-04-05, we had at least one entry in 2336 languages, which means we have entries in 29.8% of the languages we had codes for as of 2016-02-24 (I don't feel like checking how many codes we've added since then; it's unlikely to be more than a dozen). If we use Ethnologue's estimate that there are 7100 languages spoken in the world and especially if we use the slightly lower estimate I see in literature, of 7000, we have entries in almost exactly one-third of the world's languages. - -sche (discuss) 19:54, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Does their 7100 include long-dead languages? — Ungoliant (falai) 20:53, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think that figure is of languages still spoken today. They include far more than 7100 codes! - -sche (discuss) 21:32, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

 * As of now, with the addition of Tataviam, we include codes for 7900 languages; about 120 language codes are suggested for addition at RFM, which will bring the total over 8000 (including codes for artificial languages that are limited to appendices and codes for proto-languages). We currently have codes for 144 unattested proto-languages and 1 attested one (Proto-Norse). We still have 13 exceptionally-coded artificial languages, and I doubt any ISO-coded ones have been added since my last post, which would mean we have 19 ISO-coded ones for a total of 32. That means that of the 7900 codes we currently include, 7724 are for attested natural languages (including the attested Proto-Norse language). As of the last database dump, we included 7854 codes and 2535 (32.3%) had entries; taking into account that we have added 42 codes with words and 4 without words since then, we currently have entries in 2577 of our 7900 codes, or 32.6%. - -sche (discuss) 07:46, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:ape

The portuguese word 'macaco' is the translation of 'monkey'. I think that the translation for 'ape' is 'gorila', but I'm not quite shure. Fredmaranhao 00:00, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, ape includes gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees. They are a kind of monkeys in my language and also in German. It may help. --Ferike333 19:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, I believe that monkeys are a kind of ape. Or just a kind of primate, I'm not sure if monkeys are categorized under or alongside apes. This is from w:Monkey: "All primates that are not prosimians (lemurs and tarsiers) or apes are monkeys." — [ R·I·C ] opiaterein — 20:15, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 * (a little more) in the Wikipedia category structure, Category:Apes and Category:Monkeys are listed under the parent Category:Primates, so I think that they're more like cousins or something. Apes, Primates and Prosimians. — [ R·I·C ] opiaterein — 20:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
