virkata

The meaning "to talk" is not listed in KTSK. Seems to me like confusion with virkkaa. If it actually is a word people use it should at least be labeled nonstandard. Yuhani (talk) 19:36, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

It's definitely not the primary meaning, so I've moved it below the other one. As for whether it's citable, it might be, but I cannot say I've heard it used often... Confusion is very much possible. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 19:38, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Hekaheka It seems you clarified that meaning all those years ago (Jyril simply wrote "to talk", but he hasn't been around in years), so do you have input? SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 19:43, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

And of course it would be a separate etymology too. Yuhani (talk) 19:46, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Good point, I'll probably restructure it that way if it survives RFV, but if it's simply a mistaken addition that cannot be sourced, it'll probably be removed fairly quickly. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 19:55, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Seems like a plain error to me now, as you point it out. Just delete. Jyril is senior to me in Wiktionary and it probably did not occur to me then that he would be fallible. --Hekaheka (talk) 09:20, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

RFV-resolved Meaning is likely an error; deleted. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 14:23, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
