RFV discussion: March–April 2016
Conflicting edits recently – looked it up, but I couldn't find a translation. My concerns are with the second meaning; does it mean "spark" or are we talking "electricity"? --Robbie SWE (talk) 09:51, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

To make this easier to administer, I have readded the electricity sense and tagged it with rfv-sense. The second sense "spark" is probably the same sense as the 1st sense "scintilla". However, Türk dil kurumu shows two senses; the second sense includes "parça" which could mean, piece, particle, fragment. Thus:

rfv-sense: electricity.

The sense electricity was recently removed by user:123snake45 without a RFV process. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:12, 27 March 2016 (UTC) --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:12, 27 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Spark is correct but TDK does not list anything close to electricity in the sense of "power/energy", perhaps a mistranslation? --Anylai (talk) 13:40, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The thing is that the English Wiktionary goes by attestation, not dictionaries. So TDK is an auxiliary check but not an ultimate arbiter. The electricity sense was recently re-added by ; does he perhaps find attesting quotations meeting WT:ATTEST? --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:52, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I see, btw I did a little research and came upon a nationalist forum discussing its relation to Korean . I think it may be some sort of fantasy.--Anylai (talk) 14:26, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh and I skipped one of the discussed words "çınca" “electron”, pronounced as "t͡ʃɯnd͡ʒɑ" also suspiciously similar to Korean . Maybe we can consider them loans from Korean if we find attestation rather than some fantasy discussions and derivations on forums.--Anylai (talk) 15:42, 27 March 2016 (UTC)


 * RFV failed. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:44, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
