tuberculosis

Etymology
To from, from  (diminutive of ) ; named for the encapsulated colonies of  within the lungs in pulmonary tuberculosis, which can look like small tubers (tubercles) on. The disease has existed throughout human experience and had for millennia before scientific medicine renamed it with a New Latin term in the mid-19th century (1840s); in English it was called  because of the wasting away that consumed health and seemed even to consume flesh in some cases (for example, causing fistulas and tissue breakdown).

Noun

 * 1)  An infectious disease of humans and animals caused by a species of mycobacterium, usually, mainly infecting the lungs where it causes tubercles characterized by the expectoration of mucus and sputum, fever, weight loss, and chest pain, and transmitted through inhalation or ingestion of bacteria.

Talk:ampersand

French
My monolingual French dictionary (1989) has "esperluette", while my bilingual dictionary has (1978) "esperluète". Could a native speaker please verify which is correct (or whether both are). Thank you. -- Paul G 11:53, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Both are correct (I mean: "used"), and so are their variations: perluète, éperluette, etc. (The name of the sign seems to have been merely an oral tradition until quite recently, hence the variation of forms.) —147.210.22.149 01:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Contradictory etymology
The ety says it is a contraction of "and per se and", meaning "(the character) '&' by itself is 'and', but — according to the recital explanation that follows — it actually means ...and '&' by itself. Equinox 20:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, I've fixed it now. Equinox 13:34, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I have always thought it meant "am per se and". SemperBlotto (talk) 10:40, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

German meaning
Should we mention that the German word "Ampersand" (der Ampersand, m) means: sand from the Amper (a small German river)? In general, such composite nouns are not in dictionaries, and the German word is capitalised (since all nouns are). These are the two main reasons why I did not make a Bold edit; I would like to find a reference to this meaning of the word Ampersand *somewhere*. Sjcjoosten (talk) 10:11, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Not in German Wiktionary, and I can't easily see it elsewhere, If you do manage to find evidence, add it at and model its format on . SemperBlotto (talk) 10:38, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

pliers

Etymology 1
From.

Noun

 * 1) A pincer-like gripping tool that multiplies the strength of the user's hand, often used for bending things.

any example of the invariable plural? --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:44, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

 * The editor probably intended something like "Of the shareholders, 90 percent were present at the meeting." I think this invariant plural is a misinterpretation, though. "90 percent" doesn't mean 90 of the things each called a percent, but is more like other "per" phrases, e.g. two miles per hour. Equinox ◑ 19:02, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

I like the graphic, but I wonder where did it come from? Is it free, are we allowed to use it? Remember: it is more important that the content on Wiktionary is free than that is present... If it simply comes from some internet page. I don't think we can use it. If it was part of a clipart collection, I am not sure if one aquires the rights to distribute it under GFDL by simply having paid for the clipart collection. In fact, I would seriously doubt it. It is going to be necessary to draw a tiger oneself or coerce somebody to draw one and then give it to the cause. Polyglot 23:11, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I have added a link to Wikipedia on general principles. I notice they have several nice photographs there of tigers, which are not only presumably free but also more informative than the artwork here.  It seems to me it would be easiest either to recycle a Wikipedia photo or simply to trust that anyone needing a photo can click over to the right place. Dvortygirl 10:26, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I really doubt that each of the pictures of animals @wikipedia is free, but at least I can tell you something about the clipart I put at tiger.

 * However, I agree that the picture I posted is not as informative as its counterpart at Wikipedia. But if somebody looks at it, he/she will immediately understand what the word mean.

 * So, the image itself comes from this site, and there're no copyrights as far as I can see. Moreover, the author of the page has put this text on top:

''To save these images right click on the one you want and choose "Save Picture As" or "Save Image As"

 * Most of these tigers work best on a white background.''

 * When someone permits you to save an image from his/her site, and even tells you that when you use it on webpages, white background is usually the most recommendable choice, you just take advantage. :-) Webkid 23:40, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I guess it's OK. If there are no copyright notices and they encourage you to use the graphics. We don't know where that site got it though. I think it is prudent to add the source where the graphic was found in the Summary comment when saving the page. That way we can easily trace back how we got it and it is clear we acted in good faith. Polyglot 20:39, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Delete the list of examples
It seems to me we need to delete the long list of examples, which were probably written in lieu of a good set of definitions.

Swahili translations
Someone has added the Swahili wordmsimamo to a whole bunch of the supposedly "checked" translations with specific verbal senses. It is obviously completely wrong as msimamo is a noun. I went through and added correct translations and also provided notes about which tenses to use for which sense (e.g. "to support oneself on one's feet" = kusimama in a perfect tense, e.g. Nimesimama means 'I am standing (statically)' or 'I HAVE risen to my feet'; "to rise to one's feet" = kusimama in any tense, e.g. Ninasimama means 'I am rising to my feet'). Unfortunately, when I finished my edits, I accidentally published without previewing and I made some syntax error which prevented any of the verbal translations of "stand" in any language from being visible. I reverted the change. I can't see what could have done that. Can someone please look at the translations I contributed and implement them with correct syntax so as not to break the page? 120.22.66.248 02:00, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

I think it's best to create an entry for each one. Etymologies might be different, pronunciation might be different, conjugation might be different, (second) meanings may be slightly different, etc.

Are names of days capitalized like in English? I decapitalized them. The reason to give an example of the word is partly because the software will always capitalize the title. This is nice for Wikipedia, but it doesn't do us much good. Polyglot 11:06, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Talk:aboriginal

I've always been told that "aboriginal" as a noun is an error. I don't mind being a descriptive dictionary and adding it as a noun but do we yet have a way to mark that such a usage is deemed erroneous? Hippietrail 11:55, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

etymology of aboriginal
From ab origine + -al directly, or from the English word aborigine? OED says the former, MW3 says the latter. Normally I would give the OED the last word on such matters, but "aborigine" is attested a good century earlier, and it seems odd that such an odd coinage would be made independently. -- Visviva 06:21, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Just to make it more confusing, Etymonline says that aboriginal is the correct Latin singular. It might simply be unclear when the expression is to be considered naturalized English, and OED and MW made different calls on it.  Or maybe aboriginal is still considered a Latin phrase at the same time that the mistake aborigine must be considered an English coinage.  Just speculating. —Michael Z. 2009-03-11 15:15 z

 * I don't think that's what Etymonline is saying there; I think that sentence is meant to say that the correct singular of the English term "aborigines" is "aboriginal". OED entry for "aborigine" also mentions "aboriginal" was used in this way.  So does that mean it's ab origine -> Aborigines -> aborigines -> aboriginal?  Weird.  I can see why the OED went with their ab origine explanation. -- Visviva 16:54, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Ah, you're right. But I still wonder if the Latin collective noun was Aborigines, was an individual an Aboriginal.

 * English Aborigines seems to date from exactly the period when transportation of convicts to Australia was replaced by free colonists. Maybe the popularization of the concept brought it from the realm of Latin speakers, and prompted the English back-formation.  Any idea if a particular publication popularized aborigine? —Michael Z. 2009-03-11 20:11 z
 * In word aboriginal, original is clear but the "ab" has unknown meaning to me,if you guess what ab means, you will get the clear meaning of that word.Willy agrimano

 * See ab. —Michael Z. 2010-04-13 16:14 z

 * ab means from in Latin. So ab origine should mean from the origin, i.e. originally. Note that origine is the ablative case of origo.

 * Anyway, the etymology is wrong; that is because -al is used only for neuter nouns, cf. animal, but note -alis adjectives which enters English as -al and which accepts m and f genders; cf. medicinal, fraternal, maternal.

 * See the more complete etymology at Aboriginal. The -al ending is added in English, not Latin, and it is based on considering the Latin ab( )origines as an English plural. (I had consolidated the main entry there, but for some reason other editors have built it into two fuller entries again.) —Michael Z. 2010-04-16 15:43 z

 * Also the note at aborigine. —Michael Z. 2010-04-16 16:15 z

It should come from ab origine + -al,aborigenes ,(latin pl m, important aborigenes has not the singular form), should come from ab origine (grossly native of).It is possible that the first to use it was ethnologist or a anthropologist and he used that latin word to classify those populations.Probably he did a mistake or on Latin or on English (as EOD says).If the mistake was on Latin probably he believed that the singular form of "latin" word aborigenes was "latin" word aborigine (aborigenes has not the singular form) and after he did not "translate" aborigine in the correct form ...aboriginal(as EOD says), a double mistake then.If the mistake was on English he simply moved the "latin" word aborigines on english and trying create the singular form,on english, he simply erased an -s ( aborigine ) instead of use aboriginal (as EOD says).Just another observation aboriginal not seem to be a noun,but an adjective,so maybe EOD did a mistake.just speculating

"capitalization"?
Just wondering, why do we have "Alternative capitalization of Aboriginal" as Adj sense 2 & Noun sense 1 when "aboriginal" isn't capitalised? --Tyranny Sue 13:08, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

 * What do you mean? Did you look at [[Aboriginal]]? —Ruakh TALK 14:57, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes I have. I mean why is an entry which begins with a lower-case letter described twice in its definition as a "capitalization"? Obviously "Aboriginal" is capitalized and "aboriginal" is not capitalized. How can the verb capitalize apply to a non-capitalized word (i.e. "aboriginal")? --Tyranny Sue 03:58, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't something like "Lower case spelling of Aboriginal" make more sense?--Tyranny Sue 04:11, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Its capitalization is “uncapitalized”. “Ab-” and “ab-” are the alternative capitalizations. Perhaps some invocation of “case” would be technically better, but how would you state that, simply, in the definition? —Michael Z. 2010-02-25 14:07 z

 * Well, the problem is that the verb 'capitalize' seems to actually indicate the opposite of 'uncapitalization'.
 * My suggested alternative (above) was something along the lines of "Lower case version of Aboriginal" or "Lower case spelling of Aboriginal". At least it makes sense, whereas using "capitalization" to try to indicate to "uncapitalization" is pretty weird, really.--Tyranny Sue 05:25, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I understand your point, but the wording isn't typed into this entry, it's embedded in the general-purpose template, which is used for terms in lower case, in mixed case, and in all capitals. The status of how a term is capitalized, or not, is known as its “capitalization,” so the wording is not wrong, although I can see how it might confuse a reader. I am open to suggestions for improving the template's wording. —Michael Z. 2010-03-01 17:22 z

 * You might be tempted to split the template into {capitalized version of} and {lowercase version of}. But that would require creating a specific template for each obscure case: {initial-cap version of}, {all-caps version of}, {inner-caps version of}, {title-caps version of}, etc. —Michael Z. 2010-03-02 18:56 z

 * With Hebrew form-of templates we eventually reached the limit of what can reasonably be front-loaded, and started putting information after the lemma-link in some cases. (See e.g. [[לו]], and compare it to the more Wiktionary-style "Third-person-masculine-singular-personal-pronoun-object-including form of ל־ (l'-).") It was very freeing. In the case at hand, we might consider something like:  Alternative spelling of aboriginal, with different capitalization.  O.K., I admit that's pretty awkward, but maybe it's a starting-point for someone to think of a better idea? :-) —Ruakh TALK 19:55, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

 * How about  Alternative lower-case spelling of aboriginal.  ? --TyrS 00:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, firstly, it's the only lower-case spelling of aboriginal, so taken literally, it doesn't make sense to say it's an alternative lower-case spelling of said. And secondly, see Mzajac's last comment above. :-/  —Ruakh TALK 01:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

True. I think I meant to put  Lower-case spelling of Aboriginal.  Sorry about that. Would that also require a lot of stuffing around with templates?

 * “Lower-case” is not a spelling. Aboriginal and aboriginal have the same spelling. Lower-case is a capitalization. —Michael Z. 2010-03-04 21:05 z

 * How about "Alternative letter-casing of ____"? —Ruakh TALK 21:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I think that has the right meaning, but sounds awkward to me. Perhaps because this casing is a verbal noun, but we don't “case” when we write. We do, however, selectively or variably capitalize.
 * Hmm, maybe our definition of capitalize needs to be expanded or adjusted.--TyrS 02:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I can't find this definition of casing in any dictionary but ours (labelled computing). G-Books only finds about 18 instances of letter-casing or letter casing in this sense, 16 of them in computer programming. —Michael Z. 2010-03-04 22:23 z

 * Maybe “Alternative letter case of ___” is better. (Note that case standing alone could be confused with grammatical case.)

 * But to me, case an absolute quality of a letter or uniform set of letters: upper or lower only. This comes from the etymology: a type compositor only had two physical cases to pick his types from. Initial caps is not a case, it is an example of mixed-case writing or typesetting, or capitalization. —Michael Z. 2010-03-04 22:39 z
 * "Decapitalization of Aboriginal"?--TyrS 03:10, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Not nicely symmetrical (Aboriginal isn't a "decapitalization" of aboriginal). I wouldn't object to "alternative casing", if "casing" is generally accepted to mean the obvious. Perhaps it isn't. Equinox ◑ 03:15, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think "Alternative case" (or "Alternative letter case") sounds better - I've never heard 'casing' used that way. Is it really an English verb with this meaning?--TyrS 03:57, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Casing is only used as a verb by computer programmers; not by writers, editors, type compositors, or designers. One doesn't case a letter or word, one sets type in uppercase or lowercase. The OED defines case as a physical box for letter types, not as an abstract attribute of written text, and not even as an adjective, much less a verb.

 * Thinking on it more, I think case is just wrong. Individual letter types are stored in upper and lower type case – there are no other cases. Words and phrases do not come from a case but are composed of letters belonging to either or both cases. Words have a pattern of letter-case: all lowercase, all caps, small capitals, or mixed case, including initial caps and inner caps. Computing has come up with the corruptions “title case” and “camel case,” but these are not true to the definition of case. —Michael Z. 2010-03-05 18:05 z

 * The OED may never have heard of computers, or of handwriting, but I have. And everyone else here has. Etymology is not destiny. —Ruakh TALK 18:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what you're saying about the OED, but it sounds like a strawman argument, or just plain wrong. (The OED is updated regularly.)

 * We should use the conventions of quality publishers and dictionaries, not the ad hoc improvisations of a few software manual and handbook writers. —Michael Z. 2010-03-05 19:59 z

 * I don't know if I'm really saying anything about the OED: I haven't looked at the relevant entries yet. But you state, for example, that "[t]he OED defines case as a physical box for letter types, not as an abstract attribute of written text", even though obviously case is an abstract attribute of written text. So either the OED is wrong or out-of-date, or you're misreading it. —Ruakh TALK 22:31, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Upper-case and lower-case originate as attributive use of the noun case. A is an uppercase letter, but we wouldn't say that A's case is upper, or that it has a case of upper. —Michael Z. 2010-03-05 22:48 z

 * We also wouldn't say "My car was driven by me to work this morning." That doesn't mean the passive-voice "be driven" is non-existent; it means only that that isn't a good example sentence to demonstrate it. But an example like this one is perfectly fine, and obviously terms like did not spring from the void. It's pretty rare that people want to talk about the case of a letter, but when they do, they use a word like "case". —Ruakh TALK 23:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * BTW, is not used only on verbs; I'm not sure where y'all got that idea. —Ruakh TALK 22:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, if casing is not a verb, then it's a verbal noun, no? Certainly the meaning of a protective covering or shell is separate from either a type compositor's case or abstracted letter case. —Michael Z. 2010-03-05 22:48 z

 * No. At least, not necessarily. —Ruakh TALK 23:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Sounds to me like "Alternative letter case of aboriginal" (& its equivalent, "Alternative letter case of Aboriginal) might be the way to go. (I just noticed that the Pedia entry on capitalization also makes our current template's wording look a bit odd.)--TyrS 01:09, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

 * But Aboriginal is not “a letter case”, or “in a letter case”. It is printed with letters of both cases. Ipod and iPod do not differ in the set of letter cases used to print them (that is, they are in mixed case); they differ in the pattern of capitalization.

 * The case is what an individual letter of type belongs to. Case is not an attribute of a word or phrase, and it is technically normally applied to typeset or printed material, not to writing in general (in handwriting, for example, it is better to use the more general terminology of capital and small letters). —Michael Z. 2010-03-08 01:36 z

 * Sorry, but I think you're talking out of both sides of your mouth here. "Case" is not appropriate because it applies only to typeset letters? Fine. Then "capitalization" is not appropriate because, according to the OED, its only relevant sense is "The action of printing in capitals." The fact is, both terms have evolved, and broadened, and both are used to fill what would otherwise be a gap in the language: the lack of a way to refer to the pattern of capital and small letters in text. —Ruakh TALK 14:55, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Maybe the OED's editors were giving the reader the benefit of having some judgment. Their quotations make it clear that that sense is intended, referring to the modern capitalization of an old text. If old an new capitalization differ, then clearly the text's “capitalization” doesn't refer only to a text that is in all caps. It means the pattern of capitalization, whether it be all caps, some caps, or no caps. —Michael Z. 2010-04-13 16:21 z

 * OED's earliest usage citation is of notes about an 1843 edition of a 1500s play (there's also an 1864 reference to Webster's dictionary):

 * 1906 R. L. RAMSAY in Skelton's Magnyf. p. xx, The orthography is that of the original; punctuation and capitalization are modern.

 * Obviously, the edition's “capitalization” doesn't mean that it is printed only in caps. We can infer that the “action of printing in capitals” has degrees and details (as indicated by the 3rd quotation: “details of [...] capitalization”).

 * (And my objection to “alternative case” is not that case is used chiefly with type. But that letter case is a binary attribute of individual letters. A word set in upper and lowercase, i.e. in mixed-case type, is set with letters of both cases; it can't be said to be “in an alternative case”.) —Michael Z. 2010-04-19 04:51 z

I'm not 100% sure about my US/UK appellations. I got the one I call US from http://www273.pair.com/med/unicode/Unicode_transcriptions.html and the one I labelled UK is the way I say it in Australian English using the phoneme symbols on the English SAMPA page here: http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/english-uni.htm Hippietrail 12:08, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Translations??
Isn’t the whole translations section rubbish? Unicode is a proper noun, and as such has no translations (or should not have any). It has transliterations, which might be worth mentioning. Otherwise, this would sort of force all other languages that use the term Unicode as is, to have a language section on this page. henne 14:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
