Rfv-sense: gall. Tagged but not listed. --Corsicanwarrah (talk) 11:42, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- At the very least the sense of polysemic gall should be disambiguated. The term akoholahy is clearly a compound of akoho (“chicken”) + lahy (“male (noun)”), so the term also having another totally unrelated meaning is extremely unlikely. Note that the entry was created with gall as the sole definition by a native Malagasy speaker in a batch process of importing several thousand Malagasy words. I wonder if there may be some language confusion with Catalan gall, which means “rooster, cock”, just like the first sense given for Malagasy akoholahy and the only sense found in Malagasy dictionaries and the Malagasy Wiktionary. --Lambiam 13:21, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- Sounds likely. Speedy. Does Jagwar use Catalan though? ---Corsicanwarrah (talk) 18:14, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- Spanish has gallo of course, and it is well-known that the -o is a suffix, so I can see how a mistake could easily be made even without Catalan being involved. there's also Latin gallus. —Soap— 20:23, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
