RFV discussion: March–April 2016

[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.


RFV for the alleged Latin adverb theosophē (theosophically). Not in Lewis & Short, du Cange, Gaffiot, the OLD, Niermeyer, or the NLW. Only du Cange and Niermeyer have entries for the related noun theosophus (theologian). — I.S.M.E.T.A. 01:45, 5 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Dictionaries often do not include adverbs derived from 1st/2nd declension adjectives (adjetive in -us and adverb in -e, like theosophus -> theosophe). If there are theosophus and theosophically, then it's not unlikely that there's theosophe. -80.133.119.105 18:11, 28 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
It's not too unlikely, no, but there has yet to be presented any evidence that theosophē exists. (See WT:CFI.) — I.S.M.E.T.A. 12:52, 4 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
