RFV discussion: April–June 2018
Rfv-sense: fruit. This seems to be only used as a prefix. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:25, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

This is equivalent to Thai ลูก. Nouns that prefixed with lwg refer to fruits, not the whole trees. Like ลูกมะพร้าว = coconut fruit. Then lwg itself should have its own meaning.--Octahedron80 (talk) 05:02, 25 April 2018 (UTC)


 * It's not restricted to fruits, and it should be treated as a prefix, not a noun:
 * The Nominal Phrase in Northern Zhuang: A Descriptive Study:
 * "Zhāng (1979: 195-196) and Qín (1995: 99-104) note that some elements seem to fall in different categories; let’s look at lwg as an example: it may be a noun meaning ‘child’ (as in (41)), a classifier meaning ‘a small one of’ or simply a classifier for small things (in (42a) and (42b) respectively), an element that precedes the classifier or the noun expressing denigration (in (43)), and a lexical prefix to nouns referring to small things (illustrated in (44)) (and this does not exhaust the possible uses; see also Wéi 1985: 3-4; and elsewhere)."
 * Examples in (44):, , , , , ,.
 * Zhuang–Chinese–English Dictionary:
 * "❹〈缀〉用于子实、果子、瓜果等 used in names of certain seeds, fruits, melons, and other relatively small things ▲ ~-manh 辣椒 chili pepper / ~-gaet 扣子 button (e.g. on clothing)"
 * The definition was already included as the prefix sense, which I have now moved to . — justin(r)leung { (t...) 18:50, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
