Talk:marking nut

Being of...
can you clarify what you mean by the definition here and at the alternate form? You write "Being of the marking nut tree", which sounds like maybe an adjective? Or an obscure meaning of being which should probably be replaced by a more common word which would make the definition more accessible. I assume this is a nut from the marking nut tree... - TheDaveRoss  13:44, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I wanted to leave it ambiguous and only refer to the entry for the marking-nut tree, to avoid duplication. It might be the fruit, it might be also occasionally refer to the plant (as often for plants only a certain part of which is used by humans: sometimes a word is more proper to the fruit, sometimes more to the plant, but such usages commonly extend). Basically I created it because it was odd that marking-nut didn’t exist but marking-nut tree did. If you want you can of course gloss more. Properly one can always have one sense for plant and fruit each – or one might not, because of the commonness of this constellation. Fay Freak (talk) 20:13, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
