Inanimate??

[edit]

@Atitarev Is this really inanimate? Russian Wiktionary seems to think it is as well, but that doesn’t make sense to me. Theknightwho (talk) 06:24, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Theknightwho: Probably not, though I can imagine a mixed declension where the acc. equals the nom. due to the foreign word being partially treated as indeclinable, however with prepositions for example (за (za) and на (na) + the alleged and expected accusative) I only see фембоя (femboja), so it is at least predominantly animate.
PS I find the vowel reduction in the first syllable dubious, but in German Russian and Ukrainian the Germanic borrowings have a greater tendency to be pronounced with original Germanic stem stress. Fay Freak (talk) 07:36, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Theknightwho, @Fay Freak, @Voltaigne: Thanks for fixing, @Fay Freak. It's an obvious oversight and some editors just use default templates, including the author in 2022. It's definitely animate/personal both the Russian and Ukrainian terms. The Russian Wiktionary is no guide to us. There's plenty of vulgar and regular examples in the accusative showing the animacy.
