Speaking of irrational or obsessive...[edit]

Containing the word-element -phobia doesn't make a term a description of a clinical psychiatric disorder. Most of these "phobia" terms are generally used to refer to societal phenomena that only edge into clinical disorders in a small subset of susceptible individuals. Your wording might fit the clinical disorders, but is wildly inappropriate for widely-held societal attitudes. Yes, these things are irrational, but all matters of emotion are irrational by definition. Treating fat-phobia and acrophobia the same is misleading and wrong.

If these are quotes then please provide the sources (date, author, etc). If they are not quotes the lines should start with #: and you should use {{usex}}. DTLHS (talk) 21:20, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

holian[edit]

Hi ! The form hola looks like the singular imperative form of the verb...which incidentally is not shown correctly in the template paradigm I see Leasnam (talk) 17:48, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NM on the template...It's showing correctly...I wasn't looking carefully enough :) Leasnam (talk) 17:50, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

hycgan[edit]

Hi ! Some of your verb conjugations show forms from hogian, especially in the second and third person singular. For hycgan and any of its derivatives, they should be *hygest, hygeþ. The second person is only attested as hyges but can be normalised to hygest. Leasnam (talk) 19:08, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
