Added entry for Fula but it may need revisions. Have divided into 5 etymologies: letter (not sure on the policy for that); and four related ones - class indicator (tentative classification, supported in at least some of the literature, but may need review), pronoun, determiner, and article.--A12n (talk) 14:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

If there are five separate etymologies, add them all. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:43, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Are you sure they all have different etymologies? All four of the actual words seem like they are related to each other. --WikiTiki89 14:48, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
The same word serves different functions - so I also have the same question about whether 3 or 4 of these should be under one heading. However... In French, class indicator (they call it gender): masculin/feminin; subject pronoun: il/elle; article: le/la; determiner: ce/cet/cette. In Fula, class indicator: o (or one of 25 others); subject pronoun: o; article: o (depends on position); determiner: o (depends on position). This entry is in some ways an experiment.--A12n (talk) 13:39, 30 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
If they have the same origin, they should be under the same etymology header, but under different part-of-speech headers. If they all have separate origins they should be under separate etymology headers. --WikiTiki89 14:00, 30 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

English interjection

[edit]

This google snipped didn't show any page numbers, so I'm leaving it here:

  • 1903 (1640), The Bay Psalm Book: Being a Facsimile Reprint of the First Edition, Printed by Stephen Daye At Cambridge in New England in 1640, prepared for The New England Society in the City of New York, (books.google)

Lua error: not enough memory

[edit]

Error begins from the end of the Portuguese entry until the end of the page. No content is displayable if affected. This error is present on both desktop and mobile versions of the page.

Yes, and there's nothing we can do about it at the moment. We're only allowed to use 50 MB of memory, and, on average, it takes more than 1 MB per language section. With 66 language sections, there's simply no easy way to fix this. There are currently 14 entries where this happens (see CAT:E), but there used to be many more- we're doing all that we can. As for the pattern: the system expands the templates in whatever order it's programmed to do so and starts displaying module errors when it runs out of memory. There's definitely a pattern, but it doesn't really mean anything as far as humans are concerned. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:18, 14 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Is it possible to make another part to the page? There could be a link at the top of this one leading to the other one, and a link on the top of that leading to the first. Dragonman9001 (talk) 14:41, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
See [1] and [2] for some recent discussions on this topic. Thadh (talk) 14:53, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
problem solved for the time being, as the memory limit of Lua has been effectively doubled to 100mb, according to this grease pit discussion back in October of 2023.

Song particle

[edit]

It seems our entry on -o doesn't include words that add -o for melody like dairy-o in "The Farmer in the Dell". That use is also (apparently?) omitted here. Am I missing which sense should be considered to cover it? and could someone add a {{ux}} to display it? We obviously aren't going to create entries for all the instances of it unless they appear separately the way (e.g.) daddy-o does but we should mention the English habit to use -o that way somewhere. Afaik, we don't do it with all the vowels to the point where it should be completely understood without discussion by ESL kids & co. — LlywelynII 04:44, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
