Recovery vehicle

 * 1) Is there anything distinctive in a  that justifies there being a separate translation table? I would be eager to merge it. I am innocent of  (a business that needs to be created under some name for translations, like ) and  could be technically a hypernym. I see that  is broader than the  city dwellers know. These synonyms are not real synonyms. One was probably lazy in defining some years ago when creating all these pages.
 * 2) Is it justified apart from the translations – which are indeed special – to create an entry for  ? I incline to see it as idiomatic. . Fay Freak (talk) 21:21, 30 June 2020 (UTC)


 * No idea (I don't even drive!) but I see that recovery vehicle currently states that tow truck is a hyponym, and talks about different sizes. In theory (but almost certainly not in practice!) I suppose even an underwater thing that retrieves sunken ships could be a "recovery vehicle"... Equinox ◑ 01:11, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
