What about "lover"?

English isn't my native language, but I thought that fill also meant lover, from Cat Stevens' song Lady D'arbanville. Doesn't it? 88.240.194.26 17:06, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

It seems unique to that one song. Perhaps he means "you will be enough for me / will satisfy my needs". Equinox ◑ 17:57, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

In Albanian ¿derived or just cognate of "filum"?

In the etymology of the Albanian entry in "fill" it is stated that it cames from Latin filum. Has this been checked somewhere? It is not impossible but seems to be improbable because Albanian does not come from Latin. It could be a borrowed word, though, but it seems more probable that "fill" and "filum" are just cognates. --Piolinfax 11:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Irish senses "to plicate", "to recur"

@Embryomystic Where did you find these? —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 11:12, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

That is an excellent question. My first thought was that it might have come from tearma.ie, because I made the mistake of trusting it in the past, but unless they've since removed those (not impossible, especially given how long ago I added the definitions in question), that doesn't seem to be the case. You may as well remove them. embryomystic (talk) 22:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Just checking. —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 22:20, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
