The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
This is similar to haupt- above, but unlike the previous, this doesn't appear to have any meanings not shared by two. —CodeCat 20:50, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
- It's just a cardinal number which is used in compounds, unlike bi-. Delete. DonnanZ (talk) 01:00, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep: two-headed means "double" headed. Nowhere does two mean double. Leasnam (talk) 03:53, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- The norm is for things to have one head. Two of any single thing is double. I don't see the distinction. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:28, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, take two-edged, or two-sided. There are no norms there Leasnam (talk) 04:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- ...and a "two-edged" thing is a thing with two edges, like a "three-edged" thing has three edges. I don't see what you're getting at. - -sche (discuss) 04:43, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- No one said that compounds have to always be SOP. The question is: does the combined form have an inherently different meaning than the meaning when separate. A sword with two edges is a two-edged sword; a monster with two heads is a two-headed monster; a document with two sides is a two-sided document. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:52, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
