RFM discussion: June–August 2020[edit]

This lemma does not fit the criteria for inclusion. It is two morphemes that often appear together (-and and -ge), but each of which can appear in many other contexts. I have edited what little was there to fit under the final (morpheme) -and. It just needs to be merged into -and to save the history. SteveGat (talk) 19:53, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Rather than intersperse its revisions into -and's, I used the method of moving it to its own talk page (which will be kept to, among other things, host this very discussion when it's archived), and linking to that in the edit summary when I moved the content. - -sche (discuss) 07:16, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! That is a great solution i didn't know existed. I have gone back through and ensured that the derived terms exist somewhere, and boiled them down as much as possible. Ironically, i found one example: anishinaabewanjige (to eat Native) which quite possibly is a neologism based on the erroneous morphology that led to the original entry. anishinaabewandan (to eat "it" the Native way) doesn't exist, and adding -ge (a morpheme used to detransitivize transitive verbs) wouldn't give us the final term. As speakers try to translate eat X-ly back into Ojibwe from English, this creative morpheme may eventually come into existence...SteveGat (talk) 14:22, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
