"Strikes from drones take many innocent lives" This example is ideological : is it worth wikipedia ?

drone (Dutch)
Rfv-sense of "male bee or wasp". The Middle Dutch is in the MNW (lemma: dorne), but no luck with the modern Dutch term. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- According to the Etymologisch Woordenboek van het Nederlands Dutch dar comes from Middle Dutch drone by an interesting development: drone → (by metathesis) dorne, darn(e), whose s-plural darns was displace by the en-plural darnen, and then → (by assimilation) darren, reanalyzed as the plural of dar. Parallel survival of Middle Dutch drone into present-day Dutch appears extremely implausible to me. --Lambiam 18:59, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- In several Limburgish dialects, it is droon/drone: [1], [2]. It's a bit tricky to find non-dictionary references seen the scarcity of dialectal usage online and seen the now-prevalent use of drone in the machine sense. Morgengave (talk) 10:43, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Morgengave I think this can be resolved by converting the sense to a Limburgish entry and adding a reference to that Limburgish dictionary (the preview doesn't show for me), as Limburgish is a LDL.
←₰-→Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 07:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)- It exists in Limburgish as draen (Bakkes 2007 p. 107)/droon/dreen, depending on the dialect. The form on -e is always plural however. --Ooswesthoesbes (talk) 15:27, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Ooswesthoesbes Which one of those three forms do you think should be the main lemma?
←₰-→Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:19, 1 January 2021 (UTC)- The word is highly variable, so as such I would recommend to use "draen" as I can reference this form directly from a dictionary. --Ooswesthoesbes (talk) 12:22, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Ooswesthoesbes Thank you. I'll make the entries later (probably tonight or tomorrow). Happy New Year.
←₰-→Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 14:49, 1 January 2021 (UTC)- Went with dreen, used in WLD.

- RFV resolved, the new entry is at Limburgish dreen, with a reference.
