Talk:þeatian

RFV discussion: December 2019
This verb with the meaning "to plan" is not in either Bosworth-Toller or Kobler, and the short ea should not occur before intervocalic t. Created by User:Writend, who has a tendency to create junky entries (e.g. this entry is wrongly conjugated as weak 1 instead of weak 2, and other entries use obscure definitions like bewallow and besinge).

 * Perhaps confusion with ? If we just let verification run its course, this will disappear, but I shall not object if it is speedily bewhacked. --Lambiam 09:29, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * GBS finds one mention in an 18th-century Anglo-Saxon-Latin dictionary from Oxford, together with the form þeatan, where the meaning of the Latin is that of þeahtian. --Lambiam 09:52, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I would agree that it was meant to be, which already exists. Leasnam (talk) 15:37, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * It was requested so I made it, the conjunction is right I think. Also all of my entries are the best. - Writend
 * Hi User:Writend. I apologize for calling your entries "junky". However, it should be noted that you've made a lot of mistakes in the entries you've created. User:Mellohi! already called you out on this awhile ago, and it appears you've continued to make mistakes after that, e.g. your entry for didn't include a head parameter to  (needed because of the dot over the g) and indicated the pronunciation as /jeðiŋɡiɑn/, which is incorrect (/ð/ is a voiced consonant whereas the þ here is voiceless, and you've omitted the stress on the second syllable). For  you similarly omitted head and gave the pronunciation as /tʃuzol/, which is highly unlikely, esp. the /u/. For  you did include head but wrongly, as you left out the length marks and dot over ċ, and your pronunciation /untweolitʃe/ is again incorrect (at the verb least, the /i/ and /eo/ should both be long and the stress should be indicated). All three of these entries were created in the past month. I would suggest you (a) be more careful, and (b) learn more about Old English. In addition, please sign your entries using , which is automatically replaced with your name and the time. Benwing2 (talk) 22:17, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
