RFV discussion: December 2020–February 2021[edit]

The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Requests for verification (permalink).

This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.


Verification was requested for the sense "dizziness". I wonder if this might be an extension from or maybe a misunderstanding of うずまき管 (uzumakikan "cochlea; inner ear")? I just searched for うずまき めまい and found a lot of discussions of dizziness resulting from inner-ear problems.

It looks to me like both the sense and the rfv tag were added when User:Poketalker moved the lemma from the kanji to the kana version. Cnilep (talk) 05:40, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Eirikr: the KDJ reads 「③比喩的に、物事のめまぐるしい動き。また、わずらわしい現象。」 in translation: “(3) Figuratively, a whirlwind (sense 2) of something. That is, a troublesome phenomenon.” Looks dizzy to me before the confusion arose. Go ahead, I have fixed it. Thanks again! ~ POKéTalker23:56, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
