Much to my surprise, this doesn't seem to be used at all. It's at RfV on de.wiktionary as well. -- Prince Kassad 19:42, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

A quick Google search to weed out Wiktionary and obvious wiki pages (google:schentsch+-wiki+-wiktionary) does produce a number of hits on Romansch pages (many on Radiotelevisiun Svizra Rumantscha), and which seem generally consistent with a meaning of "ginger" (as in the food). Perhaps this is a rarer dialectical form, even within Romansch? -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 21:11, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

On de.Wikt, Elleff Groom just found a reference: Rut Bernardi, Alexi Decurtins, Wolfgang Eichenhofer et al.; Società Retorumantscha, Verein für Bündner Kulturforschung (publisher): Handwörterbuch des Rätoromanischen. Wortschatz aller Schriftsprachen, einschliesslich Rumantsch Grischun, mit Angaben zur Verbreitung und Herkunft. first edition, volume 2 (N–Z), Offizin, Zürich 1994, →ISBN, DNB 944705650, pages 722–723, keyword "schentsch". That reference gives the meaning, etymology (borrowing of the Italian word zenzero) and two dialectal forms, schensch (unterengadinisch/Vallader), zens (oberengadinisch/Puter). - -sche (discuss) 06:32, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

WT:CFI have changed and this now meets them (one mention suffices for an LDL). - -sche (discuss) 04:32, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
