[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Needs quotations. IMO, "sauren" is simply an inflected form of "sauer" and all the inflected forms of "sauren" are nonsense. --Bruno413 (talk) 08:54, 4 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

At the same time, you could verify the inflection table at sauer. The inflected forms are "saure", "saurer", ... But "sauere", "sauerer", ..., are probably simply wrong, maybe non-standard. --Bruno413 (talk) 08:59, 4 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

sauren now has an inflected form entry. The RFVed sauren indeed seems to be an error.
Both forms, saur- and sauer-, do exist and are easily attested. As for the positive and the comparative the contacted forms might be more common nowadays, and as for the superlative there should only be the uncontracted form (sauerst-, not saurst-). -Wilhelm-231 (talk) 09:52, 4 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
If this is the case, shouldn't the inflection table at "sauer" use the forms that are more common nowadays? --Bruno413 (talk) 07:28, 5 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
I have deleted the inflected form of sauren and removed the erroneous definition. SemperBlotto (talk) 06:58, 17 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
