• Created pages on Rilke and the derived term Rilkeana: both definitions under the former my own, if obvious; both definitions under the latter my own, with relevant examples provided of usage of the term in the spirit of the respective definitions.

• Created page on eloquate: definition (1.) a slight alteration of a Google suggestion (when looking up "eloquate definition"); details of pronunciation provided. As far as etymology is concerned: I have suggested that the verb to eloquate is not directly derived from Latin. (There is is a comparable verb in Latin, eloquare. However, to my knowledge, English words derived from Latin verbs are usually derived from their fourth principle part, and the fourth principle part of eloquare is elocutus sum, which is a possible origin of the English term elocution, but a less likely origin of the term in question.) Instead, I have suggested eloquate is derived only indirectly from Latin via the Modern English eloquent, and have added it to the "derived terms" section on the page for eloquent. 26/12/22
