Talk:s-

Polish
Wiktionary needs content re Polish verb prefix s- (and just about every other Polish verb prefix...). An outline is here. --Una Smith 04:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of these "prefixes" the article describes are prepended prepositions, and so shouldn't have "prefix" entries. Consider that withhold: is "with + hold" (not "with- + hold"), and undergo: is "under + go" (not "under- + go").  That said, the "s-" seems to be an odd exception in Polish, as there is no preposition s that I can find (unless it is an archaism or holdover spelling). --EncycloPetey 05:08, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not true. Maro 21:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

etymology of s- in Italian
The etymology section states (roughly): "In most cases, this prefix stems from Latin -. In some cases, it stems from Latin ." However, both senses listed ("used to form words that have an opposing sense" and "used to form verbs that have a sense of undoing an action") seem to refer to the negating effect of dis- rather than the "out of"/"from" meaning of ex-. Can someone clarify this? --Waldir 10:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)


 * from my latin dictionary DIS- can mean in some case division, separation, distinction, etc. An example could be "he is OUT OF our group".I hope it is useful.--LupusInFabula 19:50, 5 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you've misunderstood 's comment. His point, as I understand it, is that Italian never seems to mean "out of" or "from", and therefore, that it seems that it must always come from Latin  (which doesn't always mean "out of" or "from"), never from Latin  (which does always mean "out of" or "from"). (Note: I speak neither Latin nor Italian, and am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with either of you. I'm just clarifying what looks like a miscommunication.) —Ruakh TALK 02:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

scappare (escape)---> s+cap+are(es+cap+e) ,verb Lt cap+io (to capture); scavare (excavate)---> s+cav+are (ex+cav+ate),verb Lt cav+o (grossly to make an hole) or from s Lt cav+um or cav+us(hole)--LupusInFabula 12:27, 6 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. It seems a third sense should be added, then (and maybe the existing two merged together?). Could you do that, LupusInFabula? You obvioulsy are more comfortable with the ex--originated usage. --Waldir 09:19, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Could someone provide a reference for the etymology from scalar, as opposed to supersymmetry, symmetry or super? --129.125.102.126 22:43, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * See for example. They are scalar bosons. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 13:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

(Latin) Encyclopedic information about the s-mobile, not a prefix with a meaning. — Ungoliant (Falai) 15:51, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, it has only an etymology, but even the entry says "it carries no meaning". Mglovesfun (talk) 20:44, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedied. Not dictionary material, lacks meaning and thus inherently unciteable. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 12:11, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
