oblongo

Latin. Tagged by 2003:de:372f:4574:d9ce:f109:7b6e:2983 on 26 January, not listed: “As participles get their own entries (e.g. laudātus, labōrātus), I doubt this does exist.” J3133 (talk) 10:44, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

This RFV sounds insane, as the entry tells that is exists in a particular form, so it does not claim to exist how IP pretends it is claimed to exist. But I see there even is one use for the 3rd person singular perfect oblongavit. However the definition would of course have to be “to oblongate”, like it means “to make oblong”. Funnily English oblongate at least exists in the form oblongated; a few hits however also for the participle oblongating. Fay Freak (talk) 13:12, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

All hits are New Latin; the verb is not even listed in the Du Cange. A well-known medical term is medulla oblongata, often colloquially shortened to just oblongata. In botanical texts, leaf shapes are often called oblongate,^[1][2][3] and the term is also used in various anatomical descriptions.^[4][5][6]  --Lambiam 21:35, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
