“Hollow”
[edit]All other sources I’ve seen define the Greek σχίζω as “I split”, & the thus the derived English would be ‘split’, not “hollow”. Is there another source that defines it so, or shows use of the term in that way? Dfcorrea00 (talk) 00:31, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Dfcorrea00, “hollow” refers to the second element of the etymology (-coele), which is missing. — Ungoliant (falai) 00:37, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Dfcorrea00: Added more thorough etymology to the entry. Ozelot911 (talk) 01:33, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Ah, thank you both very much. I checked both of your pages & I found interesting the regionalisms & British-American spellings. My over-condensation of ideas is unparamounted. Dfcorrea00 (talk) 06:47, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
