Wiktionary:Requested entries (German)

Shortcut:
WT:RE:de

Have an entry request? Add it to the list – but please:

  • Consider creating a citations page with your evidence that the word exists instead of simply listing it here
  • Think twice before adding long lists of words as they may be ignored.
  • If possible provide context, usage, field of relevance, etc.
  • Check the Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion if you are unsure if it belongs in the dictionary.
  • If the entry already exists, but seems incomplete or incorrect, do not add it here; add a request template to the entry itself to ask someone to fix the problem, e.g. {{rfp}} or {{rfe}} for pronunciation or etymology respectively.
    — Note also that such requests, like the information requested, belong on the base form of a word, not on inflected forms.

Please remove entries from this list once they have been written (i.e. the link is “live”, shown in blue, and has a section for the correct language)

There are a few things you can do to help:

  • Add glosses or brief definitions.
  • Add the part of speech, preferably using a standardized template.
  • If you know what a word means, consider creating the entry yourself instead of using this request page.
  • Please indicate the gender(s) .
  • If you see inflected forms (plurals, past tenses, superlatives, etc.) indicate the base form (singular, infinitive, absolute, etc.) of the requested term and the type of inflection used in the request.
  • Don’t delete words just because you don’t know them – it may be that they are used only in certain contexts or are archaic or obsolete.
  • Don’t simply replace words with what you believe is the correct form. The form here may be rare or regional. Instead add the standard form and comment that the requested form seems to be an error in your experience.

  • Piz This might be a Swiss-German term referring to a mountain top, e.g. w:de:Piz Buin. It stems from the Romansh word 'piz' for 'peak'. --91.61.108.148 02:10, 7 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Does anyone know: Is this Alemannic, or a German term used regionally in Switzerland, or both? And can someone say "Endlich seh ich den Piz!" Or is it only used in geographical names? – Gormflaith (talk) 16:15, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • duden.de has it as Piz and in placenames Piz Palü, Piz Buin, Piz Bernina. The entry Piz has "Bergspitze (meist als Teil von Bergnamen, z. B. Piz Palü)", i.e. "mountain peak (mostly as part of mountain names, e.g. [example])". This would mean that the term is also non-Alemannic NHG and does sometimes occur outside of fixed place names. However, in a short google book search, I only saw Piz in place names. As for a start, how about a NHG entry Piz with a sense like "# {{lb|de|in place names}} mountain peak, peak of mountain" and with related terms like Piz Palü? If Piz is attested outside of place names, the label could be adjusted to "mostly in place names".
  • Plenken: "typographical term for the insertion of inappropriate spaces before a punctuation mark"; and Klempen, same thing but after the punctuation mark.
  • Prickler m: prickles?, some kind of prickly fizzy? drink (probably mix of beer or wine and lemonade)
    • There is a German verb prickeln. Prickler is also a surname in Germany. Perhaps, you should add some context just to clarify the meaning of 'Prickler'.
  • Polenaktion f Roundup of people in Poland
  • Pommesgabel or Pommespicker = sign of the horns (according to Wikipedia)
  • Poststelle f (“mail room, post office”)
