Talk:karkaju

RFD discussion: April 2024
Finnish. I added this a few years ago as it appeared in Finnish Wikipedia and some other word lists as synonym of. I have taken a closer look and it seems that it is an error. The other word lists have probably copied the error from Wikipedia. Karkaju, if anything, should mean or  (Gulo gulo). The word is a loan to French and English from an Algonquian language in all of which it means "wolverine". The word has apparently been further borrowed to Spanish and Portuguese where it also means "wolverine". RAE does not mention it but it is in the Spanish Wikipedia article of wolverine. As there is no evidence of actual usage of the word "karkaju" in Finnish, neither as "wolverine" or "American badger", it should be deleted as soon as the procedures allow. It has already been deleted from the Finnish Wikipedia. --Hekaheka (talk) 15:59, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
