Talk:長尾

RFD discussion: April–May 2019
"Long tail" and "short tail".

These words are composed of the characters for "long" and "tail", and "short" and "tail" respectively.

I think these entries should be deleted because clearly they are sums of their parts. --Corsicanwarrah (talk) 10:37, 5 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Good catch. You will see them though as components in animal/species names. But apart from that they are more than decipherable from their parts. So delete. (Original creator of respective entries.) ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 15:43, 5 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per above. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 22:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: Chinese characters are usually not words but bound morphemes. In the page of, they write “长尾蹶鼠属（学名Sicista），是生活在沙漠地区的小型跳鼠，具有很长的尾巴和长长的后腿. ” In ordinary construction, one says “很长的尾巴” for “long tail”. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:40, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
