If *badaculō is attested, which looks to be just a ghost word in that attestation given, *badaculō should be moved, not duplicated and deleted. I've also never heard of a "-clō frequentative suffix". --{{victar|talk}} 03:25, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Victar: Please see my reply in the user talk - I'm going to do as you suggest as soon as it's deleted. I'm not sure on what basis a Late Latin gloss clearly underlying a Romance etymon can be called a ghost word. The -clō frequentative suffix is a verbalization of the diminutive suffix -clus. There is no such diminutive noun attested - the only attested noun is bataclatio - so it would be unjustified to posit it. Romance does have it, but it might as well be deverbal there.
