moved from RFV: I've realised that I've come into a slight problem with these two: which one's correct? Tony6ty4ur (talk) 23:56, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- Maybe both are? —CodeCat 00:35, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, those, among others. I would favor Eoforwic as the lemma, since it incorporates the prevailing spelling of the word for wild boar, so would be the best fit with the folk etymology- though there might be some regional differences to skew things. At any rate, Bosworth & Toller has several variations here, here, here and here. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- This doesn't really seem to be an RFV issue, so I'm moving this to our other large, ignored requests page: WT:RFC. - -sche (discuss) 00:36, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
First question: is Eoferwic really masculine plural while Eoforwic is feminine? Second question: does anyone object to Chuck's suggestion that Eoforwic should be the lemma? - -sche (discuss) 00:39, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- First answer: no, they're both feminine singular (I've already fixed that). Second answer: no, I don't object; I agree. —Angr 18:35, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
