No, English. No Cebuano equivalent of the English ice bag. This is the other ice bag. Carl Francis (talk) 07:58, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

ice bag

Why are there two noun sections? Why is one at level 4 underneath alternative forms? DTLHS (talk) 18:40, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

I'd understand it as two different words:

• ice bag, also spelled icebag, the bag for an ice pack (bag containing some gel which is put in a freezer and used in case of inguries)
• ice bag, the calque

Fitting a more usual style it could be

===Etymology 1===

(ice + bag)

====Alternative forms====

• icebag

====Noun====

... 1. ...

===Etymology 2===

(ice + bag,) calque

====Noun====

... 1. ...

or

===Alternative forms===

• icebag (1st sense)

===Etymology===

ice + bag. 2nd sense is a calque

====Noun====

... 1. ... 2. ...

[1st sense and 2nd sense should better be paraphrased as numbers can change]

Fixed, I think, along the lines of 84.161's second suggestion. I doubt only speakers in the Philippines call a bag for making ice an "ice bag", btw, so I'm sceptical it's a calque and not a straightforward compound, like "soup bowl" etc. - -sche (discuss) 20:06, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
