 * Currently it doesn't seem to be SOP-ish: and . It appears  is lacking something and then -oise is SOP. --幽霊四 (talk) 12:06, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Our treatments of -ais(e) and -ois(e) should be completely analogous. There are two ways to analyze a noun such as . One is that it is (equivalent to) France + a nominal demonymic . The other is that it is (equivalent to) the nominalization of the adjective, itself from France + an adjectival demonymic , orthographically modified by capitalization. I am more in favour of the latter explanation, and the etymologies here and at the French Wiktionary agree. We do list a sense of as a nominal demonymic (Used to form nouns that denote where something or someone is from), though, and occasionally use it: the noun  is not from the adjective  but derived as . This may correspond to whether these nouns were formed in modern French or inherited, but the point of making the distinction in this connection is lost on me. If  is the nominalization of , then it appears a bit perverse to me not to analyze  as the nominalization of . Consistent adoption of the latter position should compel one to declare  a nominalization of , while  then does not derive from . I find it hard to maintain this with a straight face.  --Lambiam 14:47, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
