Trams

Does "subway or elevated train" cover trams? Chambers 1908 says that this word covers tram carriages. Equinox ◑ 15:15, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Tram, subway, elevated train, even multiple unit: it's all the same sense (so currently 2 need to be combined). No one is going to distinguish the concept based on the technology. DAVilla 08:36, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Etymology 1

Isn't it related to proto-Indo-European? The Hindustani word ga:ɽI: appears to be related with the English word 'car', since /ɽ/ isn't a part of English phonology and /g/ often interchanges with /c/ across Indo-European languages.

car

Rfv-sense "a turn", as well as the etymology (see Wiktionary:Etymology_scriptorium#car). Almost certainly a misinterpretation of the source text. 蒼鳥 _{fawk. tell me if i did anything wrong.} 22:54, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
