RFD discussion: September 2020–January 2021

[edit]

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

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


I personally am not sure this should be deleted as opposed to just moved (to k? to some appendix about not-per-se-lexical/lexemic things Englsh does?), but per Wiktionary:Tea_room/2020/September#-k- (which see), an RFD is in order. - -sche (discuss) 15:27, 26 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

To me this feels a little like having an entry for the ie (-ie-?) in ferries. Or more exactly, like the h- in Spanish huelo. It isn't a morpheme but just a spelling rule. —Granger (talk · contribs) 16:57, 26 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
Someone needs to clean out Category:English words interfixed with -k- when this is deleted. - -sche (discuss) 20:36, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
(Re diff: OK, done, mostly by dropping any mention of k; if it's just "an artifact of English spelling rules, not a morpheme", I suppose it's not something to mention at all, like Urwald only says "ur- + Wald" and not also "+ the rule that initial letters and not medial letters are capitalized". The category now exists, like -k- does, solely to house the pharmaceutical morpheme.) - -sche (discuss) 06:56, 2 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
