Talk:corporeal

RFC discussion: August–September 2014
The problem is with senses #2 and #3


 * 2. Of or pertaining to the body; bodily.
 * 3. Corporal.

So we go to corporal:


 * 1. Having a physical, tangible body; corporeal.
 * 2. Of or pertaining to the body, especially the human body.

So the questions are how do senses #2 and #3 differ, apart from one is archaic and one isn't? How are senses #1 and #2 of corporal different? If they are different, which sense is corporeal #3 referring to? Renard Migrant (talk) 10:16, 26 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm surprised no-one has cleaned up the entry yet. Perhaps, like me, they are slightly confused by the varying senses.  I'll have a go when my brain is working better, though I hope someone who thinks clearly beats me to it.    D b f  i  r  s   10:39, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
