With the spectacularly unhelpful definition ‘to become erization’. Ƿidsiþ 16:36, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I think it might be something like "to take on an R-coloured vowel in pronunciation" (psst, linguists, that red link has been on Requested Entries for ages). I looked on Google Books and found one related match: "Not all word final nouns are subject to -erization in Standard Mandarin." Yep, with the hyphen. Equinox ◑ 16:39, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

It might mean "to make rhotic", but it is difficult to tell. The contributor's other English efforts also need looking at. SemperBlotto 16:50, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

RFV-failed for now. - -sche (discuss) 03:04, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

I've managed to find a second citation of -erize (with hyphen). - -sche (discuss) 18:42, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
