common noun sense: One who forsakes a long-term interest for a short-term interest. Not impossible, of course. DCDuring TALK 18:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

@Stephen G. Brown, Natsubee The IPA in the pronunciation section contains a capital "I" and also the letter "E" in the Ewe alphabet given on Wikipedia does not correspond to the sound /i/ or /ɪ/. It just seems a bit dubious and it would be nice if someone who knows anything about Ewe could take a look at it. --WikiTiki89 20:01, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- I changed it to lowercase i. I believe the name was adopted as spelled from the English Bible, and an approximation of the English pronunciation is used. w:User:Natsubee is who entered the pronunciation, and w:User:Natsubee lists himself as an ee-4 speaker of Ewe. w:User:Natsubee has not been active on Wiktionary for almost two years, but he posted on Wikipedia as recently as January and February of this year. —Stephen (Talk) 09:37, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
