Talk:lubish

RFV discussion: January–February 2017
"A strong beer brewed at Lübeck." This was suspiciously listed as an adjective; I have moved it to a noun. A Google Books search for "lubish" + "beer" found nothing much. Equinox ◑ 03:27, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Well, I am the guilty party. I vaguely remember this, and the source was old and obscure, so much so that I cannot find it now. I'd say just remove it. Leasnam (talk) 06:10, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Could this be the source? The noun appears to be the unit of coinage. Lübiish being used to denote that this referred to a money of account rather than actual coin. My understanding is that in German adjectives can precede or follow the noun, further confusing the the English speaker.
