по этому

Sum of parts, even though it's a homophone of поэ́тому (poétomu). --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:27, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Delete. Same as #за тем above. --WikiTiki89 01:38, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Why doesn't WT:COALMINE apply? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. DCDuring TALK 15:27, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

They mean different things. The one-word version has a more-or-less idiomatic meaning, while the two-word version is completely SOP. --WikiTiki89 15:53, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Are you sure that поэ́тому (poétomu) does not mean по этому (po etomu) often enough to be attestable? This seems suspiciously close to therefor, therefore. DCDuring TALK 21:03, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

поэ́тому (poétomu) never means по этому (po etomu), but по этому (po etomu) could be a non-standard or dated spelling of поэ́тому (poétomu). I suppose we could replace the definition with a {{&lit}} sense and a {{alternative form of}} sense. --WikiTiki89 21:22, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Delete, yes, it's a complete SoP, unless we have special CFI for homophone collocations (e.g. [[upon]] = [[up]] [[on]] or similar). If "по этому" is ever used a non-standard of "поэтому", then it's very rare and illiterate. No, it's not a dated form. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 02:33, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
