translation merge[edit]
Should the translations at Selenite be merged into this page? Lunarian, Selenite, and Mooninite are identically synonymous in English, they are just from different language roots. Nicole Sharp (talk) 03:21, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Arabic translation[edit]
- The Arabic translation provided is listed as an adjective meaning "lunar," not a noun inhabitant of Luna. Is this an incorrect translation? Nicole Sharp (talk) 03:52, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Nicole Sharp. Are you going to question each language you don't speak? :) Yes, it's correct. It's a noun derived from an adjective, like most ethnicities are - English, Russian, etc. Russian translations need to be split as SoP's with proper grammar, will do it later. --Anatoli T.

- Thank you for the clarification. The page for the Arabic entry doesn't have a nominal sense listed and I was concerned it may have been a translation of Lunar instead of Lunarian, though the distinction between the two words probably does not exist in every language.

Possible missing sense[edit]
Chambers 1908 defines it as "a student of lunar phenomena". They don't capitalise the L. Equinox ◑ 15:57, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
