The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
¶ Why would somebody not use æ twice here? --Pilcrow 20:29, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
- Well, the two possible <æ>'s seem qualitatively different, at least from a U.S. POV, in that the former replaces <e> and the latter replaces <ae> or (frankly) <as>. (That's only intended to address your question why somebody would. It's not intended to imply that anybody does, which is obviously the more important question.) —RuakhTALK 21:05, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
- Attestable as Latin. Not as English, though. -- Prince Kassad 21:08, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
¶ Since it is clearly inconsistent with the principle of using æ for Latin words, it is highly unlikely this spelling exists in print. Daniel likely creäted this out of error, so I should have just asked him if he could delete it instead; I think Mglovesfun believes I am not intelligent. --Pilcrow 21:37, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
- "Clearly inconsistent" isn't a reason to speedy-delete an entry. Not really sure what your comment above means; but let's leave that out of the rfv discussion, eh? Use my talk page, or yours. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:26, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- ¶ Since you think this entry is not “patently wrong” or invalid (otherwise you would have deleted it), may I ask if you could attest usage of this spelling? --Pilcrow 12:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- I don't plan on trying. --Mglovesfun (talk) 16:27, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Pæninsulæ and pæninsulas aren't attested either (in places I've looked, anyway) so no plural form is attested. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
