Rhymes pages

Rhymes always include the accented syllable, so cytochrome doesn't rhyme with Thunderdome, and neither belongs on Rhymes:English/əʊm. You'd have to find something else that ends with /ˈ-aɪtəkɹəʊm/ or /ˈ-ʌndɚˌdəʊm/, respectively, before you could have either on a rhymes page. The rhymes you added to Rhymes:English/iːni are okay, though, because they're accented on the correct syllable (Rhymes:English/i or Rhymes:English/iː would be wrong) Chuck Entz (talk) 00:31, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

sedge

What part of the reference you added claims that the word is a blend? — surjection ⟨??⟩ 10:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Let me spell it out: the words saw and edge are both English, but dictionary.com says sedge is from Old English secg (it has cognates in Low German and Dutch, so it has to go further back than that). Barring time travel or extreme incompetence by the people at dictionary.com, there's no way to read that as saying that sedge is a blend of saw and edge. The mere presence of "2" twice on a page isn't the same as "2 + 2 = 4". Chuck Entz (talk) 13:35, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Surjection, the part that says "presumably so named from its sawlike edges" to me implied that it was a blend, and that's also what I had been told in field bio. What distinguishes sedges from other graminoids (grasses and rushes) is that the leaves have serrated edges. If I am in error, then please correct it, but I felt the revert was retaliatory because HalJor has a vendetta from Wikipedia and unfortunately they will likely continue to stalk and undo my edits here now too.

It's not implying that it's a blend, but explaining why the ultimate root of sedge would be related to that of saw. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 14:10, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

I recommend you simply stop editing with regard to blend etymologies, since you clearly do not have the competence required to do so and keep leaving messes behind for other people to fix. Neither of the sources you added for the etymology of burble state that the word was formed in the way you state it was. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 09:55, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Raubtier

Stop moving articles if you have no idea what you are doing. German nouns are capitalized. And while I'm here, not every word is a blend, such as screenshot. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 12:10, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
