As with above, "invalid synonym" to me implies this word does not exist; perhaps more the present meaning in this case, as there are search results for this one. It seems to refer to more of an entry ticket, though? &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 19:53, 22 December 2021 (UTC)


 * is a productive suffix, especially with the sense an instrument used for .... Since passports are used for passing (borders), purists bent on getting rid of all non ur-Turkic words in the Turkish language by eradicating all loanwords one by one, seek to replace by geçişlik – an instrument used for passing. Their efforts have been spectacularly unsuccessful, not only with this term, but in general. The Turkish Wiktionary states that the term was introduced by the  in the 1985s (sic) to replace pasaport, but the term is not listed in the dictionary maintained by the TDK. It is used infrequently, though, as a noun with the generic sense  (a document granting permission to pass), although I am not sure this can be attested. A more frequent use is as an adjective, combined with a numeral N to mean “valid for N-fold admission”, particularly for travelling by public transport. For example, a tek geçişlik bilet is a single-admission ticket.  --Lambiam 16:18, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

 * In an attestable adjectival usage such as tek geçişlik, the parsing is . Although the occurrence of geçişlik assumes the appearance of a word (due to the aversion of hyphens in Turkish orthography), it is not a constituent of the adjectival phrase and has no meaning on its own. I think that is sufficient reason not to treat it as a lexical unit. --Lambiam 11:04, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
