Talk:бедбахт

RFV discussion: August–September 2006
The Tartar language is a living language, spoken by 8 million individuals across the world; it ranks 95th in world languages. It should, therefore, not be difficult to find three attestations of any given Tartar word, especially if it is a word for a basic concept such as bad luck or morning. In accordance with Wiktionary's three attestation rule (CFI), I therefore request verification of the following words. I have laid out my reasons for doubting their authenticity.

I also make the following notes : a) upon closer inspection, these words were all added to en:wikt by one user, User:Eric Utgerd. An inspection of the Tartar wiktionary (tt.wiktionary.org) reveals that some of these words were also added there by User:Utgerd; or else do not exist.  If these were real words, one might expect that other users would have been adding them, also. b) Eric Utgerd switched to Cyrillic after we pointed out that Tartar was not written in the Roman alphabet; I apologise to Eric Utgerd, however it is my impression that if he had any knowledge of the Tartar language, he would have known that. c) His entry for the Tartar-wiktionary category "Tartar Cyrill" is written in English -- also suggesting that he does not speak Tartar. d) A search of the Tartar wikipedia (par exemple) turns up 0 results for most of the words I have listed below.

As this page states (at the top); I shall wait one month for verification; if none can be found, I shall request that the unverified word(s) be deleted. Beobach972 16:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

бэд бэхт
No internet search engine produces results for this word; and it appears to be the sum of its parts. Beobach972 16:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is real word. Just another way of spelling бедбахт. Reference: Tatar dictionary, Page 126  Eric Utgerd 13:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for providing a source; I believe you accidently pasted the wrong link, I cannot find that information in the link you provided, but I located it here using the corrected spelling you gave; and corrected the spelling, definition, and part-of-speech accordingly. Beobach972 20:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * To Andrew massyn: KEEP new spelling бедбахт. Thanks. Eric Utgerd 07:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * My recommendation is to delete the redirect page бэд бэхт; and to not delete the page бедбахт. Beobach972 16:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * As recommended. Andrew massyn 20:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

быйнгы

 * To Andrew massyn: REMOVE.    Eric Utgerd 07:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunantly, no-one, myself included, has been able to find attestation/usage/citations of this word; therefore it is my recommendation that this entry (быйнгы) be deleted and this RFV discussion archived to the appropriate place. Beobach972 16:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * As recommended. Andrew massyn 20:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

курд
This returns 54 300 results; of these, only 23 can be found for that + 'tartar'; of those, half reference 'cream of tartar' with Russian translations, one in in the context of naming languages, in which the text is 'Ûrisî (курд.)', and later 'Tartar' is mentioned, and only one supports a translation of 'курд' as 'kurd', unfortunantly, however, that is Russian-English, not Tartar-English. There are only 3 results for that + 'татарча' (the Tartar name for their language), one of which was another 'Urisi' page, and only mentioned Tartar as a separate language. Beobach972 16:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Verification results.
 * Word listed in most respected tatar dictionary see курд at page 372.
 * Also mentioned in Russian Ethnographic Dictionary as tatar type cheese
 * Корт - вид сыра у татар. См. КУРУТ.Kort - vid syra u tatar. Sm. KURUT here
 * Spelling variants: курд, курут, курт, крут, корт. Variant курут gave more returns related to curd and cottage cheese.
 * I think we can allow the word to remain here. I am going to add spelling variants and refs.
 * Thank you for providing a reference for this word. (For the benefit of those who do not speak Russian, I shall note that the book provided is the United Nations' Kazakh office's 'Крымскотатарско - Русско - Украинский словарь', in English the Crimean-Tartar - Russian - Ukrainian dictionary.)  It clarifies that the word курд does not mean curd or cottage cheese, but rather refers to an ethnic Kurd.  I have corrected the definition accordingly, and removed the RFV tag from this word.
 * The other citation supports a spelling of корт (kort), so that sense (cheese) should be added to that entry (корт), provided two more citations are found. (I researched the word and discovered that is also has a meaning of bee, which I created and referenced.) Beobach972 17:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * My recommendation is that this word (курд), with the definition 1. a Kurd should be not deleted. Beobach972 16:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

As recommended. Andrew massyn 20:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

коат
I am curious as to whether this word would have entered Tartar in this form : that is, why would it have entered the Tartar language as an exact translation of the letters (c-o-a-t, which would be pronounced kəʊ-ɑ.t) instead of a phonetic transliteration? Beobach972 16:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I have moved this entry to here after locating it under that spelling in the UN dictionary; and I also added the Kyrgyz definition, per a USDS dictionary. Beobach972 01:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * To Andrew massyn: REMOVE because located under alternative spelling къат.  Eric Utgerd 07:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the page коат and archive this discussion appropriately that the page may be revived if citations for that spelling are found; do not delete the page къат. Beobach972 16:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

соаз
No search results for either соаз + татарча or соаз + tartar. Beobach972 16:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is real word, but more frequently spelled as саз.   Eric Utgerd 13:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * To Andrew massyn: KEEP both spellings. Thanks. Eric Utgerd 07:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have now located verification for the spelling саз at the Русско-татарский краткий словарь, therefore I recommend that the spelling саз be kept; however as no verification for the spelling соаз has been found, I recommend that it be deleted, and this discussion archived.

This is verifiably a Russian word, however I can find no attestatiosn of it in the Tartar language. Beobach972 16:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Now you can see placed references. Because of this, please remove RVF. Eric Utgerd 02:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * To Andrew massyn: KEEP. Thanks. Eric Utgerd 07:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * My recommendation is that this word (сабид) be deleted because it fails to meet Wiktionary CFI : a) no Tartar-language usage has been provided (the citations being in Russian), and the citations furthermore b) do not convey meaning. Beobach972 17:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Two different recommendations. I can't decide. To rfd Andrew massyn 13:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

дан
I can find this used only in the context of names, when it is transliterated (or is a transliteration of) 'Dan'; I can find no usage in Tartar. I am curious whether this is a false cognate to the English word, or if it is a loanword; in which case I am curious that Tartar would not have developed a native word for such a basic concept. Beobach972 16:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is common for all turkish language group. Root is Dan/Tan - Dawn. Also Azeri dan - dawn, Dan Ulduz - Dawn Star, turkmen dañ dawn. Eric Utgerd 06:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

top
From the same source as the English top? That is not linguistically possible. Beobach972
 * Words from same source as removed ( now used akin to english). Now you can see strong confirmations from new dictionary and Wikipedia.
 * Speling variants: top, töp, töpe,тёпе, тњбђ, тепе, тюп, топ, топе, тюбе
 * See Old Tatar Fort "Töpe Kermen" ( means Top Fort) here.
 * Also, please find below link to new dictionary ( zipped word doc) S.M.Useinoov, V.A.Mireev Dictionary, Simferopol, Dolya, 2002. See entry: Вершина – töpe[] Eric Utgerd 09:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
