Cited. The nominated entry is one for Czech term "homofonum". I have attested the term using the nominative plural "homofona"; for the singular "homofonum", I have found only one Google books hit. A Czech synonym of this term is "homofon", which has the nominative plural "homofony". The nominator Milda (talkcontribs) argues in this edit that the term is not in Czech dictionaries, which does not matter for the inclusion in English Wiktionary. Attested terms (see also WT:ATTEST) are included even when they can be found in no other dictionaries, and unattested terms are excluded even if they can be found in other dictionaries. Milda follows the practice of some editors of Czech Wiktionary who require sourcing from dictionaries rather than true lexicographical evidence in the form of quotations of actual use. --Dan Polansky 10:12, 30 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
