The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

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.


There is some evidence for the word being used in the names of choirs. Any evidence for the verb? SemperBlotto (talk) 09:46, 10 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • RFV failed, entry deleted. Incidentally, I doubt the entry's creator was really trying to say that this is an English word; rather, (s)he was most likely trying to create an entry for a putative Hebrew verb זָמַר (zamár), or for an English transliteration of it. (In some cases the line between "transliteration" and "loanword" is very blurry, but I don't think this is likely to be such a case, because I don't think anyone is likely to create an infinitive in English by borrowing a past-tense verb form from Hebrew.) —RuakhTALK 21:17, 17 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
