Uses in English seem to be the capitalized form Sejms. -- Medmunds (talk) 21:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- There appears to be several uses in books, eg at https://www.google.com.au/books/edition/A_Short_History_of_Lithuania_to_1569_Cen/qJBFEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=sejms&pg=PT240&printsec=frontcover A Short History of Lithuania to 1569: Centennial Edition (1921–2021) By Josef A. Katzel · 2021

- I reformatted this entry as "plural of sejm" so that the cites can go at the lemma. Can someone help by creating the entry sejm with a proper definition? It seems to be some kind of governing assembly or committee in Poland and surrounding areas. This, that and the other (talk) 05:46, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Is sejm an English noun (borrowed from Polish)? Or a Polish noun (that is referenced in English texts discussing Polish government)? Medmunds (talk) 18:17, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's pretty likely to be both. All three links found by Graeme also use "sejm" unitalicised in their running English text. And I don't know Polish, but it stands to reason that it would exist as a generic noun in that language as well. This, that and the other (talk) 05:38, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

RFV-passed, couldn't be bothered to format the cites for this non-lemma form entry. This, that and the other (talk) 04:07, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
