חאג׳

Alt-spelling sense. The word (חג׳) that it's listed as an alt-spelling of is defined only identically to חאג׳'s other sense. Not speedying this in case there's really another sense of חג׳ that we should have and that חאג׳ is an alt-spelling of.​—msh210℠ (talk) 10:13, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

• As far as I can tell, it's nothing more than a simple error. This should have been at RFV in the first place but instead got to sit here for more than a year, which is a bit odd, so I'll compound the oddness by declaring it RFV failed at RFD. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 20:41, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge, msh210: Hold your horses. The definitions are not identical. A hajj / pilgrimage (i.e. the journey) is not the same as a hajji / pilgrim (i.e. a person who goes on this journey). Whether חאג׳ is an attestable variant of חג׳ (“pilgrimage”) is a separate question. I'll search Google Books. --WikiTiki89 21:16, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Wikitiki, hold your horses. If you take a look at the entry and the history, you'd see that we both know that, and your "separate question" was the very subject of this RFD. (And I couldn't find evidence, but I welcome the efforts of somebody who actually speaks Hebrew.) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 21:20, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

I did look at the two entries' histories. Maybe you knew that, but as far as I can tell it seems that msh210 misread the similar-looking definitions as being identical. Anyway, I'm close to being able to cite it already. --WikiTiki89 21:31, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Cited. --WikiTiki89 23:22, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. That makes it now RFV passed at RFD. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:58, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
