[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


Not an interfix, but the preposition on used both before and after a hyphen. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:55, 24 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Delete. It is simply on. If we don't, we will end up with entries being added, one-by-one, for many English prepositions wrapped in hyphens, then entries for other English words used in hyphenated orthography. DCDuring TALK 19:06, 24 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
If it were simply "on", one would write "Stratford on Avon" instead of "Stratford-on-Avon", but note "Stratford-upon-Avon". --80.114.178.7 19:51, 12 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Deleted. The examples have been moved to on. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:53, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
