Italian SOP. As I've argued before, the Italian preposition is often translated into English as "with." Take, e.g., "armadio a specchio - mirror wardrobe: lit 'wardrobe with mirrors,'" "a salve - blank (cartridge): lit 'with blanks,'" "cane a pelo lungo - long-haired dog: lit 'dog with long hair,'" "casa a tre piani - three-story house: lit 'house with three stories,'" and countless other examples. Our own entry for is currently inadequate. The Devoto-Oli has a definition of as describing the kind, the quality, or a characteristic of something (def 14). And the Zingarelli has a similar definition (describing kind or quality [def 12]). This is the meaning of used here, and these entries are therefore SOP. Imetsia (talk) 18:32, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
