not to add to the alarmingly tall pile of terms/senses originated in extremist groups, but...[edit]

...should sense 3.1 be phrased more generally so as to include more abstract/metaphorical senses of have as in the incel compound "sex-haver"? Arlo Barnes (talk) 02:52, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Arlo Barnes: Some other examples are fun-haver/havers, problem-havers, and (the most metaphorical of all these, IMO) back havers. Although it seems to me like "One who has something" already covers it, even if "possessor" doesn't. 98.170.164.88 03:08, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

portuguese haver conjugations in present indicative tenses for 1st and 2nd person plural[edit]

they cite "hemos" and "heis" as alternate forms of havemos and haveis, but the article they use as a source specifically refers to "Castelhano" when talking about "hemos" and "heis".

    • Instead of removing the entries of hemos and heis entirely for Portuguese, I suggest they be removed the conjugation table. They might historically be forms of those words that developed into the conjugations for the future and conditional, but they are no longer actively used conjugations of haver as a standalone verb.
