The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time.

Rfv-sense for Frenchman. — This unsigned comment was added by 77.105.60.36 (talk).
- Just google for "žabar" "francuz" (with quote marks) and you'll find results that corroborate such usage. Fojr (talk) 12:39, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Can you provide evidence? I tried it and it gets tonnes of hits, but in Polish. Also Google on its own not an acceptable source. Renard Migrant (talk) 13:24, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

- Any CFI-meeting ones? Renard Migrant (talk) 22:14, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- The number of occurences of that sense suggests a "clearly widespread usage". Fojr (talk) 09:08, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- I'll take that as a no, then. Bare in mind it's not up to me. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:06, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

- Pinging two users who speak Serbo-Croatian and have edited recently, @Crom daba, Vorziblix; does жабар/žabar sometimes mean "Frenchman"? does it mean "Italian", for that matter? in books, magazines, etc? (Issuu.com's search engine finds lots of magazines which use the word, but I don't speak the language well enough to easily tell which sense.) - -sche (discuss) 18:18, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

- A very belated postscript (sorry for not responding sooner!): in my experience, yes, it does mean ‘Italian’, no, I’ve never heard it used for ‘Frenchman’ (but the non-duracly archived links above do use it that way, FWIW), and durably archived attestations for either one seem very difficult to find. —Vorziblix (talk) 08:17, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
