Russian[edit]

What is the Russian translation for the 3rd English verb sense? 81.68.255.36 19:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have inserted {{trreq|ru}} in the appropriate translation table. DCDuring TALK 19:41, 14 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Better Etymology[edit]

Here it can go all the way to proto-indo-european *kers- after going to latin carrum (car). Can you include this more complete etymology? (All the due formatting... :P)

Apparently it's not quite a direct descendant, but I've put a link to the Latin. Dbfirs 16:26, 11 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Missing sense[edit]

There's a missing sense here, like "He carries the team" - he makes all the effort so the others in the team don't have to. --Derrib9 (talk) 17:46, 26 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Although it doesn't specifically mention it, I think sense 19 covers that type of scenario. GabenInABox (talk) 22:53, 21 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

to "be carried"[edit]

Chambers 1908 defines be carried as "to be highly excited: to have the head turned". I'm not quite sure what that means or how to locate citations, and in any case whether it should be at carried. Equinox 18:15, 22 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
