lemoga

This was a hot word in 2019 – apparently a fad within yoga. I can't find anything published after 2020. There are false positives, maybe a homograph in Setswana or possibly Xhosa, but no "yoga with lemurs" that I've found. Cnilep (talk) 23:52, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

I’d classify the two citations as mentions, which, moreover, are not independent. They copy this from from a publicity-oriented statement issued by Armthwaite Hall and the adjacent Lake District Wildlife Park. (“As a wellness destination, we’re used to providing our guests with outdoor experiences which help relieve the symptoms of city living such as stress, sleep and pollution. Lemoga offers our guests the chance to feel at one with nature, at the same time joining in with the lemurs’ play time.”) Setting-off the term in scare quotes, in a context where the term is explained, underscores that the authors of the two citations did not consider the term part of the English lexicon.  --Lambiam 14:19, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

I would not classify them as mentions: they convey meaning -- the fact that the hotel is offering these lessons. It is, apparently, however, an activity offered only by the one hotel. However, the October 2020 quote uses no scare quotes or extra explanation. (And, it is over a year after the original quotes). I believe this one squeeks by. Kiwima (talk) 21:48, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

I agree that most of them are uses and that they are independent in the intended sense of CFI; the word is used in new contexts, not in actual quotations. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 17:09, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
