Talk:Tetragrammaton

I realize that "less accurately" veers into POV, but there is ample support for this designation. If we're going to mention Yahweh and Jehovah at all, we should point this out. Somewhere in the discussion of all this I've included a link to a history of the term, including the various factors that strongly imply the pronunciation Yahweh. FWIW, The Jewish tradition of not pronouncing this term has been somewhat mythologized over the years — there's both more and less there than meets the eye. -dmh 05:11, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Possible missing sense

Talk:Jehovah

Text removed (-dmh):

Proper noun

God's Name. ''One of them. Within the Hebrew scriptures there are several: Adonai (LORD) and Elohim (GOD) being prominent.'' In the King James Version of the Bible, the Hebrew tetragrammaton for the name "Jehovah" is generally rendered by the substitute words LORD or GOD, the whole word written in capital letters, whereas the Hebrew words 'Adonai' and 'Elohim', translated as Lord and God respectively, are shown with only the first letter of the word capitalised, thus differentiating between the three different Hebrew words. In Exodus 6:3 God declares that his name is actually JEHOVAH, not 'Lord', or 'God', because Lord and God are titles, not names. (See I Corinthians 8:5)

Believed by some modern scholars to have been pronounced like Yahweh. Other evidence points to a name with three syllables. I believe that "Yahweh" is the strong consensus of modern scholars, based on several strands of evidence, but rather than dispute this here we should leave it to Wikipedia

'Jehovah' (Yehovah) has been the usual pronunciation for centuries. '''Um. . . the Jewish tradition of not pronouncing יהוה at all  predates the both reconstructions — thus the need for reconstruction. That "Jehovah" has long standing outside Jewish tradition certainly gives it legitimacy as a dictionary entry, but has little to do with how accurate it may or may not be.''

Out of misplaced reverence for God's holy Name, the Hebrews gradually stopped pronouncing it. ''This seems, oh I don't know, maybe just slightly POV? I'm pretty sure that an observant Jew would not cite "misplaced reverence" as his or her reason for prefering Adonai or HaShem.''

Etymology

Causative fom (Hiphil) of the verb "havah" (הוה) "to be / to become". "He causes to be" or "He comes to be". (kept)

It has generally been said that the form of God's Name "Jehovah" was a Latin mis-transliteration of the Hebrew consonants "YHVH" or "JHWH", because the Name was dotted with the vowel-ponts of the word "Adonay" (Lord) or "Elohim" (God). That was my understanding, but again this discussion belongs elsewhere.

However, commentators as Rashi usually refered to it as "Shem Hameforash", that is: "The Name, Pronounced according to its letters." The book given in the link said Maimonides, FWIW

Some have remarked that the letters are a rearrangement of the three words: "was" (haya, היה) "is" (ho-veh, הווה) and "shall be" (ye-hi-yeh, יהיה), implying the concept of His eternal existence. Such speculative etymologies are common for this word. This seems more akin to Grammatria (divining additionaly meanings from the forms of words after the fact) than speculative etymology (speculating about the origins of the words themselves, but again this belongs elsewhere

All in all, there is an extraordinary amount of ink spilled over "the correct" transliteration of this particular name, and I would think it prudent for Wiktionary to steer clear of as much of this as possible -dmh 05:43, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The problem, if it is a problem, is that, as a transliteration of the Hebrew into English we only have YHWH. For the Y, most Hebrew names such as Jerusalem, Joshua, Jesus, Jew, Jeremiah, Judah, Judea, Jacob, Jabesh, Joconiah, Jehoiakim, Jonah, Jepthah, Jehu, Jezebel, Jeroboam, etc etc .. are rendered in English with a 'J' letter and sound. It would therefore seem that rendering the Y in the Hebrew YHVH as a J in English is the norm for standard English spelling and pronunciation of the initial letter of God's name represented by the Hebrew letters 'YHWH' --217.205.242.172 22:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

RFV discussion
Meaning "Jehovah's Witnesses" (the organisation): "I left Jehovah ten years ago." Equinox ◑ 12:27, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Never heard Jehovah used that way. The Jehovah's Witnesses normally refer to themselves (the organisation) as "The Witnesses", "The congregation", "The brotherhood", "The society", They hold God's personal name in very high esteem, and use it solely in its primary sense. If an ex-witness says that they "left Jehovah" they mean that literally, which automatically implies leaving the organisation. -- A LGRIF  talk 10:09, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

moving screen

Noun

 * 1)  An offensive foul committed when a player executing a screen moves in order to block the defender and makes contact. Technically it is a block; in other words, there is no such terminology in most rulebooks using the phrase "moving screen." This means that, for it to be a foul, there must be contact (and illegal contact at that, meaning advantage-conveying). No illegal contact, no foul, no matter how much moving the screener does.

Talk:will

Past tense "would"? That's only the historical past tense; the pages on would, shall, and should all agree that the will/would/shall/should pairs are no longer present/past pairs and their connection is purely etymological.

I'm just a visitor that noticed this and am trying to help you fix an error...

willing
does "willing" have different meanings? Where's the difference between "He is willing to come tomorrow." (example for Etymology 2) and "All the fans were willing their team to win the game." (example for Etymology 3)? I would put both to Etymology 3. I don't see a use of "willing" in the sense of "I will go to the store." --62.224.100.251 00:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, "to will" (were willing their team} and "willing" (he is willing) are closely related etymologically. The difference is that "to will" is a verb, while "willing" is an adjective that is made from the verb. There is also the noun "will" (an iron will). These are completely different from the auxiliary verb will used to form the future tense. —Stephen 00:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Deleted. Equinox ◑ 02:06, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Etymology 2
Four comments on this section:

1. The usage notes say:

 * Historically, the present tense is will and the past tense is would.
 * See the usage note at shall.
 * Early Modern English had a past participle "would" which is now obsolete.

It's not clear why the first and third of these usage notes should be separated by another one, or for that matter why they should not be in the same line as each other.

2. I'm surprised by the assertion that "would" was a past participle as recently as Early Modern English. My understanding is that usually for defective modern verbs you have to go all the way back to Proto-Indo-European for that. I think a quotation from Early Modern English would be in order here.

3. In definition 5 of etymology 2, my change from "Used to express the future tense, formerly with some implication of volition, especially in first-person." to "Used to express the future tense, formerly with some implication of volition (especially in first-person)." has been reverted. The former version leaves it ambiguous as to whether "especially in first-person [sic: hyphen not appropriate]" modifies "future tense" or "implication of volition". The ambiguity should be clarified, and I believe the intended interpretation is the one obtained by removing the comma between "implication of volition" and "especially in first-person".

Also, I think that "especially" should be replaced by "only", because as far as I know "will" never implied volition outside the first person.

4. Definition 2 says:

 * (obsolete, intransitive) To wish or desire (that something happen); to intend (that). [9th-19th c.]  [quotations ▲]

 * 1526, William Tyndale, trans. Bible, Matthew XXVI: "the disciples cam to Jesus sayinge unto hym: where wylt thou that we prepare for the to eate the ester lambe?"

 * ''1621, Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy: "see God's goodwill toward men, hear how generally his grace is proposed, to him, and him, and them, each man in particular, and to all." 1 Tim. ii. 4. "God will that all men be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth."

Contrary to the initial part of this entry, this is transitive: in "God will that all men be saved, the object of the verb "will" is the subordinate clause "that all men be saved"; in "where wylt thou that we prepare...", the object of the verb "wylt" is again a subordinate clause: "that we prepare...". Duoduoduo 18:53, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Well I will answer some of this as best I can. 1. I agree, more or less — the usage notes are not very clear or helpful. 2. The past participle was regularly used until the 17th century. Eg Malory ‘Many tymes he myghte haue had her and he had wold’; or John Done, ‘If hee had would, hee might easily [...] occupied the Monarchy.’ 3. I would go ahead and make this change. 4. Some authorities describe this as intransitive and some as transitive, but the last time we talked about this in the WT:TR it was agreed that if a verb sense can only take a that-clause as object then we will call that intransitive here. I can't remember now what word we were specifically discussing.. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 19:59, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Two points:
 * 1. In etymology 2, the verb section begins
 * (third-person singular simple present will, present participle willing, simple past would, past participle -)
 * This says that there is no past participle, which is one thing that led me to wrongly delete the statement to the contrary in the usage section. (This cannot be explained by saying that it means there is no current past participle, because if this conjugation line were limited to current forms then it would not give a present participle, which only applies to the archaic form).

 * So I think that either the archaic past participle should be put into this conjugation line, or the archaic present participle should be deleted from it.

 * 2. On the question of whether To wish or desire (that something happen); to intend (that) (as in where wylt thou that we prepare and in God will that all men be saved) should be labelled as transitive or intransitive, I think the discussion should be reopened. I can't find the old tea room discussion, but I'd be surprised at any authority who called this intransitive. The that clause has to have some role in the sentence, and if it's not the object of the verb then what is it?  Duoduoduo 17:06, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

From Duoduoduo's talk page:

I found the Tea Room discussion I mentioned: Tea_room/2011/February. I ended up arguing both ways there; but the community in general accepted Brett's view, going on the outline from the (generally considered here to be definitive) Cambridge Grammar of the English Language. User:Ƿidsiþ 17:17, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Interesting and enlightening discussion there, concerning "warn" as in "I warn that ...". But I don't think the reasoning behind the conclusion reached there about "warn that" applies to this discussion of "God will that all men be saved" or "where wylt thou that we prepare". "Warn" when transitive is illustrated by "I warn him": the verb's object is the recipient of the warning, not the topic of the warning, so in "I warn that ...", "warn" would be intransitive (although I am perplexed as to the sentence-function role of the "that" clause in "I warn that..."). But in "God will that all men be saved", the "that" clause can be replaced by the verbal object "it": "God wills it." Likewise, "where wylt thou that we prepare" = "where wylt thou it."

 * One key determining factor in the tea room discussion of "warn" was that an adverb cannot come between the verb and its object, so if an adverb can come between a verb and the subsequent "that" clause, then the "that" clause is not an object of the verb: e.g., *"He said clearly it" and "He said clearly that he would not come". But in the present examples of "will that", I don't think an adverb could be inserted between the verb and the "that" clause, so there is no contradiction in calling the "that" clause the object of the verb. Duoduoduo 17:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Do what you will and will what you do!
Hi,

I saw this in a movie: is 'will', here, have the meaning of 'want'?

Thanks,--Xan2 (talk) 08:33, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Irish English
In Father Ted S3E4, about 7 minutes in, Ted says "will I?", meaning "shall I?", i.e. asking whether he should do something. Is that a peculiarity of Irish English? Equinox ◑ 22:05, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Not a direct answer, as an American, I would say "should I?" (and would understand "shall I?" but think it was overly bookish or something). "Will I?" sounds like a question about what is going to happen. — Eru·tuon 22:14, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

wo'n't, wonnot
Could somebody add what processes take places from either wo'n't or wonnot to end up with won't? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:36, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

wold
wold appears even in the usage notes. --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:24, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

‘be willing to'
Page 261 of Practical English Usage reads We can use if + will in polite requests. In this case, will is not a future auxiliary; it means ‘are willing to', If your mother will fill in this form, I’ll prepare her ticket. Would can be used to make a request even more polite. --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:06, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Please merge redundant definitions
There is no significant difference between definitions 6 and 7 of the verb.

6. To wish, desire (something).

7. To wish or desire (that something happen); to intend (that).

"Will" in all the quotations is interchangable with "wish", "desire", or "intend". Cowlinator (talk) 23:17, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * One is transitive; the other is intransitive. (Sometimes such definitions can be merged as "ambitransitive", but we don't always do this.) Equinox ◑ 00:29, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Usage note: insistence use
The insistence use never contracts will to 'll. So, He'll keep complaining is a prediction about the future but He will keep complaining is a comment on his insistence.

Usage note: negative of the use for deduction
The negative of the use for deduction is often formed with cannot: That can't be the postman but if the speaker is more certain or is basing the statement on evidence or experience then won't can be used: That won't be the postman; it's too early.

Talk:significant

.
When meaning important, do you say "significant *of* something" or "significant *for* something"? Could some native speaker please add an example?

 * It depends. Usually, something is significant to a certain person or situation.  Therefore, we discuss the significance of something, and say that it is significant for a certain reason.  Hope that helps.

Significantly overused
"Significant" is one of the most overused jargon words in business writing and journalism. It is generally used either (a) when the writer means "important" but has also used that word too often or (b) when the writer is too lazy to find a meaningful qualifier or quantifier such as a statistic or is writing something too vague to lend itself to quantification. For example, "this project will have a significant impact on sales growth" is much easier to write, but much less meaningful, than "this project will increase sales growth by 3-5%".

Pronunciation with /ɡ/
Can someone comment on the recently added pronunciation with a instead of a ? Is it regional, colloquial, rare or something like that? — Ungoliant (falai) 14:04, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Seems a bit like having /d/ in US tomato. I don't think it should be there. Equinox ◑ 18:53, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Horizontal folk dancing
Valid phrase, listed in WikiSaurus:sexual intercourse. But entry adds nothing.--Richardb 08:33, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I turned this into a real entry. I would never have guessed what it means, so it should be in the dictionary. Polyglot 10:52, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I would be inclined to redirect this to the more generic term, horizontal dancing, which I have heard before. The phrase works equally well when other words are substituted for "folk".  "Horizontal square dancing" or "horizontal rock dancing" would give different flavours to the nature of the activity involved. Eclecticology 19:22, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Moved Polyglot 00:27, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Template talk:Basketball

Moving over rfd discussion:

Template:Basketball
It seems odd to have a template for this. Dmh created it though, so maybe it is useful for a reason I cannot grasp. Polyglot 10:10, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the benefit of the doubt :->

 * This was an experiment aimed at speeding the adoption of categories, and I think a pretty successful one. The basic idea is simple.  Instead of saying (law) or (medicine) or (basketball) for a specialized sense of a term, you say ,  or  .  This puts in both the visible tag and the category, e.g., , or  .  Using this, I was quickly able to add several dozen terms to Category:Basketball, and going forward, I just have to say  instead of (basketball).

 * Further, if we decide to rename the category or change the tag, we can just edit the template. In short, we gain the usual two benefits of templates: concison and indirection.

 * One main driver is to replace the current "Index by topic", which is a mess to look at, a pain to maintain and evidently largely ignored, with categories, allowing the Wikimedia engine to do the grunt work of maintaining and formatting the list. It's much easier simply to tag an entry with a category than to manually update a separate page.

 * We've had quite a bit of success already with categories in administration. Notably, requests for delection and cleanup are now largely category-driven.  This means, for example, I can go to the cleanup category, follow the link, edit the artcle and have the system automatically track my work.

 * Strictly speaking, it might seem more consistent to have named the template, but one of the advantages of templates is that you can have them expand to whatever you want.  "Hoops" is less typing and immediately understandable to a hoops fan (and, to be honest, I was in a whimsical mood).  Note that there is no reason we couldn't also have  .  The cleanest approach would have been to define  first, and then just have  expand to  .  We could still do this (and in fact, I've done it -dmh).  Similarly  might expand to  and  might expand to  , or whatever.  In other words, consider  an alias for  , which I didn't bother to create.  Going forward, I think it would be best practice always to define the literal name, and then define aliases in terms of it.

 * While we're at it, might better expand to  and so forth (this is done, to, but I called it cattag).  There's certainly room for improvement.  It would also be good to be able to handle multiple tags I now have as (basketball, colloquial) (see points in the paint for example).  Ideally, I'd want to do this as   , which would also add  , but then the actual entry would look like

 * (basketball)(colloquial) Points scored ...

 * I personally don't mind this, especially given the benefit of categories, but others might. Another option would be to have  expand to (basketball, colloquial), but I'm not sure if that would break plain unadorned  .  I'd have to look at the template mechanism in more detail, but there are probably technical solutions available. (see Template:cattag2, which seems to work OK.  There is also cattag3, and it's dead easy to define more -dmh)

 * In any case, please don't gun Template:Hoops. It's already used in dozens of entries, and I think it's helping.  Even if it isn't, I don't think it's hurting greatly. -dmh 17:00, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Wiktionary:Categories and templates

Introduction
This page attempts to document the use of categories and templates in Wiktionary. Categories allow entries to be tagged with category names, which the Wikimedia engine automatically tracks. Templates allow blocks of text to be given short, convenient names. Templates may take parameters, allowing a fill-in-the-blanks approach. Templates may include category references.

Please note that some uses of templates and categories are fairly long-standing, while some are very recent. This article does not make any great effort to distinguish the two, but instead concentrates on the the conventions of using categories and templates.

Categories
The full list of categories may be found at Special:Categories. A category page consists of two parts:

 * Descriptive text, which the engine treats like any other page text. It is updated manually.  If it is missing, a link to the category will appear in red, even if there are terms in the category.
 * An automatically maintained alphabetical list of terms in the category. This will be maintained even if there are no terms in the category.

There are currently several kinds of categories in use:

Administrative Categories
Since categories are tracked automatically, they allow an editor to mark an article for future work. The category list then shows which artcles need the particular kind of work. The most prominent examples are Category:Requests for deletion, Category:Requests for verification by language and Category:Requests for cleanup.

Grammatical Categories
In the course of defining usage for terms, it becomes clear that some terms obey rules beyond those described by the usual parts of speech. For example, some nouns are uncountable in certain senses. That is, they are grammatically singular and shift meaning when used with articles and numbers. Some adjectives may be used as complements to linking verbs (This number is binary.) but not be used in the comparative (*This number is more binary than that one.). These are categorized as not comparable. Some phrases have meanings which cannot be easily guessed from their constituent parts. These are classed as idioms.

Most of these categories are not yet well-populated. In most cases, the definitions carry tags like (uncountable), but no category designation. The template can help in this regard.

Usage categories
Many terms are limited in their use in various fairly common ways. For example, some terms are considered slang or colloquial.

Topical Categories
There is currently a topical list of terms in Wiktionary. The coverage of this list varies greatly in breadth and depth. As is, the topical list must be kept up to date manually. If one topic is contained in another, there is some confusion as to whether to file a term in one place or both. If a topic might belong in two parent categories — Software Engineering might legitimately appear under both Software and Engineering — then every term in both topics must be manual entered twice.

A much simpler alternative is to assign topics directly to the appropriate senses of terms, using the most specific topics applicable. The Wikimedia engine then maintains the details of the topical list. Categories may be designated as sub-categories, with the contents again maintained automatically.

The topic list is currently being rearraged using categories. Currently, the manual text portion of categories is being used to contain the existing manual lists, but it is quite feasible to migrate these to use categories directly. For an example, see the basketball category.

Administrative templates

 * Template:rfc request for cleanup
 * Template:rfd request for deletion
 * Template:rfv request for verification
 * Template:tea room indicate that a tea room discussion concerning the term is going on
 * Template:Webster 1913 entries dumped in unedited from 1913 Webster
 * Template:stub stub article marker

List of all templates

 * An automatic list of all templates can be found at [ Special:Allpages].
 * An outdated list of all templates can be found at User:HippieBot:all macros sorted which is sorted by the number of times said template is referenced/used.
 * A manual list of templates in use can be found at Index to templates.
 * A manual list of inflection templates can be found at Inflection templates.

Templates and Categories
Adding a category link to the text of a template provides an easy way to put articles in a template. For example, the rfc template contains a link to Category:Requests for cleanup. Adding this template to an article automatically puts it on the list of articles to be cleaned up.

The same technique works with grammatical, usage and topical categories. The more common categories, such as uncountable already have predefined templates. A few topical categories like basketball and music also have pre-defined (mini-)templates. Adding more is easy.

There are several conveniences available for either tagging articles directly or creating new mini-templates.

 * Adds a link to the given category
 *  Inserts the text (tag)
 * Inserts a tag with the given name and adds it to the given category
 * Does the same for both names given (e.g., basketball and colloquial)
 * Does the same for all three names.

Talk:complement

An anonymous contributor helpfully added the more general definition of "complement" that subsumes the ones and twos complments (a good catch; thanks!). I've broken it down the way it is now because the ones and twos complements sense are the usual ones in computing, while the general sense is more limited in use. I would expect that most of the remaining uses are either "nines complement" or "tens complement". I couldn't find "base n complement", "complement base n" or "n's complement" on google at all.

Mathworld doesn't seem to mention either "ones complement" or "twos complement" specifically. It does mention several other complements (knot complement; graph complement etc.), any of which could be called the complement in context. I'm not sure quite how fine to slice all this. The current entry is my current best guess. -dmh 03:12, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Three synonymous explications?
A) A word or group of words that completes a grammatical construction in the predicate and that describes or is identified with the subject or object

B) Any word or group of words used to complete a grammatical construction, typically in the predicate, including adverbials, infinitives, and sometimes objects

C) complement clause

Could the information in these three be included in one explication? Those seem so synonymous. -- Frous 23:54, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

RFM discussion: May 2023–March 2024
In heraldry, you can bear a sun in (its/his) splendor, suns in glory, peacocks in their pride, pelicans in piety: I created those entries at in (x), because AFAICT that sense of the noun isn't used without in. But I see we have the moon in its/her complement  [moved], increment [moved] or plenitude defined at the bare nouns. For complement, I can't find it used without in, e.g. *the moon's complement, so I'm inclined to move it to in complement. I can't find plenitude or detriment without in in heraldry, but I can find , outside heraldry: should I still move the heraldic sense? (Alternatively we could just create a redirect from in plenitude and in her plenitude etc to the relevant sense of plenitude to make sure people searching for in... forms got to the right place.) - -sche (discuss) 18:31, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
