Talk:mehrem

RFV
I already said something on the talk page for "viel" about this http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Talk:viel The German word "mehr" is never declined like a normal adjective. I've checked Pons.eu and the German Wiktionary. According to them, "mehr" is not an adjective at all, just an adverb. It looks someone told a page-making bot that "mehr" was the superlative of "viel", the bot assumed that "mehr" was an adjective and went on to make pages for it like it would for any other adjective.

"mehre" and "mehren" can stay, because they are forms of the verb "mehren". Only "mehrem" needs to be deleted. Rkaup (talk) 21:45, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * A b.g.c. search reveals that mehrem was once the dative of mehr when used pronominally, as in "Von mehrem weiß er nicht" ("He does not know about more"); everything I can find seems to come from the 17th century at the latest (,, , etc.), so I'd say it should be marked as or . —Angr 22:00, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, the declension table at wenig also declines the comparative, producing things like wenigere, wenigerem, wenigeren, wenigerer, none of which exist in modern German. But I did also find b.g.c hits for wenigerem from as recently as the early 19th century, so although it's also obsolete it seems to have lasted longer than mehrem did. —Angr 22:05, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I've added the obsolete templates to mehrem, and mehre too. I wanted to add one of the quotes but I can hardly read them! It would be good to have one to show how these words were used. Rkaup (talk) 23:00, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I've added a cite to mehrem and am striking this. —Angr 15:41, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
