Ido for jujube. I can't find any uses on Google Books or Google Groups, though there is some interference from other languages. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:42, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- jujub. is an official root in Ido. It can be found in Dyer's dictionary from 1924: http://www.idolinguo.org.uk/idendyer.htm. It can also be found in other dictionaries like: Dicionario de la 10 000 Radiki di la linguo universala Ido from 1964, which has a really good description of the fruit: http://www.ido.li/vortari/radikaro.pdf. If you are looking for an actual sentence with this word in use, you are probably out of luck. Ido's literature is not that big, and in the case of an exotic fruit, I don't think that anyone have/will write about it. For that matter, I don't think we would have much more luck with the Espo equivalent. Sincerely - Algentem (talk) 15:00, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Algentem: Please take a look at WT:ATTEST. Dictionaries are not sufficient; we must have uses in the wild. You should note that the Esperanto noun is actually quite easily citable with books on Google Books, but the Ido noun is not, which is why it's being posted here. Please do not add any more terms like this that cannot be cited. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:42, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
