Talk:mer-

I doubt that the broadness of this definition is correct. Isn't it only productive for mythological terms? --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 19:24, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, the current definition represents the earliest definition, which was used to create the words (deprecated template usage) merman, (deprecated template usage) mermaid, (deprecated template usage) mersnake, (deprecated template usage) merswine. From merman and mermaid come all the others apparently, as references to "mermaid" things. I suppose we can split into two senses or even two etymolgies. Leasnam (talk) 21:51, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Splitting the etymologies seems to be the most sane option.--Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 21:57, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Same as mero- (used before vowels)

mero-: part, partial: merozoite
