cocal

Covered in coconuts. DTLHS (talk) 04:13, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

cited, although it is possible that it is just an attributive use of the noun sense. It's kind of hard to tell, because of all the false positives with the proper noun. Kiwima (talk) 05:38, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

I agree that it just looks like an attributive use of the noun sense- the cites don't really support "covered in coconuts" either. DTLHS (talk) 16:28, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Unless you take that to mean "covered in coconut trees.", but even so, that looks like an attributive use of the noun sense Kiwima (talk) 02:00, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

I poked around and couldn't find any usage of this that didn't seem more like a noun than an adjective; I couldn't find anything being called "more cocal" or "less cocal" or "as cocal as", or being said to "grow cocal" or "become cocal". The citations in the entry, and others I can find, all just seem like uses of the noun. Good work citing that, though. :) - -sche (discuss) 02:26, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
