Talk:thuthse

RFV discussion: December 2021
Rfv-sense. An anon recently changed the def and changed the adjectives to the exact opposite ones: thick → thin, strong → mild. I'm unsure of this change and couldn't find some reliable cites to corroborate. Not even sure if this would pass RFV, I could get only 2 durably archived relevant in-context quotes from google scholar and google books: If the third cite can't be found, the entry be a en and move the other two to Citations:thutse. If it can be found and the "thick/thin" and "strong/mild" parts can't be verified, these details better be removed. —Svārtava [t•c•u•r] 14:00, 19 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Somewhat tangential to the RFV, but as far as the definition goes, few sources make a distinction between zutho and thutse. They seem to be very similar forms of the same drink, if not identical. This thesis says "Thutse is the special fragmentation of zutho" (whatever that means), whereas later it seems to gloss one as the other: "... local rice beer known as Zutho (thutse) and Rohi (rokshi) ...". This glossary of the Andami language gives zhūthō as meaning "rice beer" and zhūtsē (a likely cognate of the source of thutse) as "vessel for making rice beer". This, that and the other (talk) 05:21, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I brought it to RFV to have the definition checked. Should it be defined as en? —Svārtava [t•c•u•r] 12:49, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd support that; there is no evidence (aside from the incomprehensible "special fragmentation" thing) to suggest they are anything other than synonyms. There is still a real question as to whether the term meets CFI though. Can we consider the PhD thesis durably archived? This, that and the other (talk) 13:08, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, it could be considered durably archived. I'm closing this RFV as resolved. —Svārtava [t•c•u•r] 15:40, 20 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Regarding the thesis, maybe it's an error for "fermentation"? - -sche (discuss) 19:06, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Very likely. —Svārtava [t•c•u•r] 07:23, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
