 * It could possibly be considered a suffix like, such as in 利多卡因 (lidocaine), 普魯卡因 (procaine)? Although it doesn't seem to be productive. , any thoughts? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 01:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Move discussion to RFD. The issue is not that this supposed component of a word is not attested, but whether it should be kept as a suffix. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 14:43, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Chinese. Should this be kept as a suffix? (Moved from RFV, nominated by with the comment "Not a word in Chinese".) — justin(r)leung { (t...) 14:45, 20 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep: equivalent to -caine. --kc_kennylau (talk) 08:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: It seems to me the big difference ultimately is between a two-character transcription and a one-character one. I assume there wouldn't be a problem with noting that 嗪 is commonly used for -ine, right, even though that too cannot stand on its own as a word (but it's a character)? But -卡因 seems to be a productive suffix for new drugs. Kungming2 (talk) 18:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)


 * RFD kept. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 17:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
