Definition: "Attributive form of alpine chough, noun."

In other words, a noun used attributively. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:43, 31 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I imagine this might not even meet CFI (who would say e.g. "an alpine-chough call" rather than "the call of an..."?). To me, entries like this are redundant because the hyphenation is mandated by grammar/orthography. It's like having an entry at Cheesecake, "sentence-initial form of cheesecake".

Keep. Such words appear in books, look like adjectives, and will be looked up by people who want to know what they mean. (That said, I'm not sure this one, in particular, is attested. But this is not the forum for that.)​—msh210 (talk) 07:14, 3 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
Redirect. That should address the look-up need for such terms. DCDuring TALK 11:08, 2 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

We should at least change it to 'noun'. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:11, 6 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
