Talk:zinnila
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.
All I can find are a handful of copies of the same few books mentioning the term, and no uses. Remember to fix the link in son-in-law if this is deleted. - -sche (discuss) 17:11, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
The only use I find is in the Exmoor Scolding, in a dialogue between Thomasin (T) and Wilmot (W) which has been reprinted in a number of places including The Gentleman's Magazine and Dialect, Proverbs and Word-Lore. - -sche (discuss) 17:11, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
It appears in a lot of word lists, and I have added the citation that they all refer to, but that is only one. Kiwima (talk) 22:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Are these attested? Compare the others above (zinnila, zewnteen). - -sche (discuss) 18:32, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
RFV-failed --Exmoor dialect is just not common enough in permanently archived sources. Kiwima (talk) 20:19, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
- Well, maybe (some) English dialects should be treated as separate languages just like it's done with German dialects (WT:About Bavarian, WT:About Gottscheerish, WT:About Transylvanian Saxon, WT:About Luxembourgish and several others, some probably without about page yet). Then Exmoor wordlists could be added as allowed sources (WT:CFI#Number of citations), and then the entries maybe could be restored. It's strange that English wiktionary treats foreign dialects in a better way than English dialects... -84.161.20.16 20:33, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
