Talk:sinh

Please do not add homophones across languages. It is very unlikely that the Vietnamese "sinh" is pronounced identically to the English "sing". -- Paul G 08:37, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

Pronunciation
There are three different pronunciations for this term. This must be some kind of anomaly. I've heard all 3 being used by my teachers, but which one is preferred? --Expurgator t(c) 21:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Definitely seems wrong. The current English section says it's "alternative form of sin" (presumably meaning sine in mathematics), but there is no such English sense at sin because sin for "sine" is Translingual. In any case, sinh in mathematics doesn't mean sine, but hyperbolic sine, which the Translingual entry at sinh already explains! I think we should just delete the supposed English entry.

 * Pinging, who added it in the first place, and who presumably knows the difference between a sine and a hyperbolic sine. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:48, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Indeed I do, and I had to check the edit history to see that you are right that I did add it. I have no recollection of doing so, and can't imagine why I did! Kiwima (talk) 19:17, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It is an alternative form of etymology 3. DTLHS (talk) 06:44, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added a gloss to explain that. SemperBlotto (talk) 07:13, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for spotting that, DTLHS! The term is easily verifiable with this sense via Google Books searches such as "wear the sinh". I would actually argue that "sinh" is the primary form - this is what Wikipedia thinks. In any case I'll rescind this RFV. This, that and the other (talk) 07:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
