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.

German: “(Namibia) girl”. Tagged by 2003:DE:3720:3780:D8DA:FD3B:20F3:E3CD on 29 August, not listed: “(entry gives "female Störchin", and a girl is always female.)” J3133 (talk) 11:51, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- I don't even know where to start researching Namibian German. I briefly checked a German-language newspaper but they only mentioned the animal (+ semi-paywalled). – Jberkel 21:33, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- a) Mentionings can be found in dictionaries, like:
- But for German (de) as WDL that's not good enough.
- (Maybe Südwesterdeutsch, also Südwester Deutsch, should be a separate language so that it would be enough? Else possibly most terms in Category:Namibian German would fail an RFV?)
- b) It somewhat also relates to a more general issue with "female ..." in the head of some entries: When a masculine term also refers to things or animal breeds (Japaner (“Japanese car”), Holländer (“Hollander beater”), Bohrer (“drill”), Afghane (certain dog; type of hashish)), the "female ..." part makes no sense, is incorrect, confusing (is it Japanerin (“Japanese car owned/driven by a female”)?). Here the question arises if it is Storch (“girl”), Störchin (“girl”), or Storch/Störchin (“girl”)?
