Unknown gender
@Benwing2 Is there a way to mark a word's gender as totally unknown? Vininn126 (talk) 12:16, 6 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Vininn126 Since this word has no known meaning and seems to appear only as a single mention, is "unattested" not good enough? Benwing2 (talk) 21:39, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2 Unattested would be fine, but it's not "masculine animacy unattested", it's just "gender uncertain". Vininn126 (talk) 21:44, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually now that I think about it, I'm not sure how to handle this at all. Apparently the POS is also uncertain (since we do not know its meaning). Vininn126 (talk) 21:46, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I was going to suggest repurposing to mean "gender/number/etc. unattested" but for cases like this maybe they shouldn't have entries at all but just go in an appendix. Benwing2 (talk) 21:47, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2 Yeah, I agree. An appendix is flexible enough to handle unknown everything, whereas mainspace isn't. Good idea. Vininn126 (talk) 21:49, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * What would we call such an appendix? Vininn126 (talk) 21:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe "Old Polish terms with uncertain meaning" or something? Benwing2 (talk) 21:58, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Not good. There's also category generated from . Maybe "Old Polish terms of uncertain reading"? Vininn126 (talk) 22:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Vininn126 You can have an Appendix with the same name as a Category (although maybe it's confusing to do so?). Benwing2 (talk) 22:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Benwing2 I think in this case it would be a bad idea, since terms that go there are not just uncertain in meaning, but in many other aspects. Vininn126 (talk) 22:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * OK sounds good. Benwing2 (talk) 22:14, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
