Talk:germinal

RFV discussion: February–March 2019
"Of or pertaining to something very small, as small as a germ." I've never heard this, and could not easily find cites to back it up. - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 00:54, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * How large is a germ anyway? Larger than a smidgen but smaller than a pinch? Rather than referring to the size, the figurative uses I see mainly refer to something being in its early form, not yet developed. The germinal idea is practically synonymous with the germ of the idea. --Lambiam 03:24, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
