RFV discussion: September–November 2018[edit]

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.

The word is used in two Wikipedia articles, si5s and ASLwrite, in both cases added on May 11, 2017, by the same editor.  --Lambiam 09:09, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The usual prefix for words formed from Ancient Greek σῶμα (sôma) is somato-, and that for χείρ (kheír) is chiro-. Chirographic is an existing word. No hits for any of somatochirographic, somatocheirographic and somachirographic.  --Lambiam 09:21, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am that author; it is a protologism being passed around in Deaf circles as a better way to describe writing systems for sign and tactile languages. You can take it down, there is no written sources on it yet (and I do not want to comb through videos trying to find a recorded source in ASL, sorry)! There is terminology changing and being added rapidly trying to better describe highly neglected groupings of languages. I was going through Indigenous language and sign language entries that day and updated what I remembered, going to go back and add citations, but there is only starting to have more writings on ASL and other tactile or sign languages. --Danachos (talk) 03:44, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
