NOR. --Connel MacKenzie 03:51, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I need sleep, so I can’t address these new nominations right now. When I do address them, it will likely involve a lot of rehashed arguments from three other sections here; although hopefully in a concise and unified form this time. Same applies to #y- -t. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 03:59, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm really not sure whether we should include these, but I don't think NOR is a reason to exclude them: they're not really original research, unless you think their creator performed his own analysis of corpora from relevant time periods and dialects. What they say is mostly common knowledge among people who study such things, and probably easily cited. Further, any information that's not easily cited can simply be removed. (That these circumfixes exist in English can perhaps be disputed, but certainly cannot be labeled "original research" in any sense, since they're the two examples The American Heritage Dictionary gives in its definition for circumfix; see http://www.bartleby.com/61/55/C0365550.html or http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=circumfix.) —Ruakh_TALK 04:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
