Intransitive?? Isn't the 2nd verb in the infinitive with "to" the object of "resolve" in this example? It's not an adverbial phrase for sure. — Hippietrail 16:32, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I would agree consider our entry for like. A comparable definition is labeled transitive. Other opinions? Only two so far over 3+ years. Makearney 17:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Missing sense: second computing verb?

[edit]

I think a computing verb sense is missing (not the one about IP addresses), e.g. when a compiler reports that it has been unable to resolve a symbol in source code (i.e. identify what the symbol refers to). I believe we're missing a related noun at resolution, too; see Name resolution. Equinox 06:59, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

"solve again"

[edit]

The sense of "to solve again" has a separate etymology ("re-" + "solve") and a different pronunciation (/ˌɹiːˈsɒlv/) and so should be separated. In any case, is it not spelled "re-solve" in that case, to distinguish it from the other senses? — 89.197.103.111 11:31, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Spelled either way. I will split ety. Equinox 18:12, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
