Isn't this written "jää-äär"? I'm not sure, but this is worth checking out.Strombones (talk) 17:24, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

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.


Is this spelling actually attested? I see it in some phrases in non-Estonian texts as a novelty, but the Estonian citations all seem to have it as jää-äär (as pointed out by a native speaker on the talk page). I suppose this might be a case where it would be okay to leave a redirect. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:09, 21 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I would also support the hyphenated spelling. The Institute of Estonian (Eesti Keele Instituut) publishes a web dictionary [1]. They don't have an entry for either spelling but there's this usex: Jää-äärne veeriba oli toitu otsivaid metsparte täis. Also, there's a rockband and an art gallery named "Jää-äär". --Hekaheka (talk) 06:57, 22 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Instead of redirect one might consider "misspelling of..." --Hekaheka (talk) 06:59, 22 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
I have created jää-äär, essentially copying the content of "jäääär". I'd suggest that someone entitled with proper powers delete "jäääär" as "RFV failed" case, as no citations have been proposed during three months. --Hekaheka (talk) 05:27, 29 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
