Talk:g'd

RFV discussion: May–July 2018
Supposedly a poetic contraction of "good"; but that's already a monosyllable, so I don't see why this would be used. Equinox ◑ 01:32, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the idea is that its a clitic that attaches to vowel-initial or d- initial words, making it a 0-syllable--for example good + day = g'day. But this entry doesn't mention d-initial words, I can't find any uses of it that are with vowel-initial. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 18:15, 11 June 2018 (UTC)


 * What other English clitic consists of a CVC-shaped word with the vowel removed? What is the standard for comparison? Equinox ◑ 20:37, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any, which is why I'm sceptical of this entry. That was just my guess at the reasoning behind it.  The g' in g'day isn't a CVC-type clitic really, as its functioning more like a contraction of "goo' day", with the d eclipsed by the following word.
 * In short, I agree with you, and I can't find any evidence of this existing as a lemma, especially one in poetic use. I can only find it in mock-transcriptions of accents, (such as the following, ,).  But those probably support an entry for g'd evening specifically (much like g'night) than a separate entry for "g'd"--there isn't an entry for g' either. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 21:18, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
