Talk:unthawed

RFV
Rfv-sense for the sense "thawed, not frozen". The verb has both senses &mdash; "freeze" and "unfreeze" &mdash; but does the adjective? It's plausible (even probable), but the collocations I can think to look for have the opposite meaning: "unthaw the meat before you cook it" means "unfreeze the meat before you cook it", but "unthawed meat" means "frozen meat". I tried "unthawed limbs", but that too means "frozen limbs". — Beobach 01:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * In most of the examples I can find where "unthawed" seems to mean "thawed", it seems to be a true past participle rather than an adjective: things like "That he was frozen until he was unthawed. That he was in bondage until he broke free", or " Montague creates an image of frozen virgins immune to time’s affects, [sic] until they are unthawed by a worthy lover." The only one I could find where I really think it's an adjective meaning "thawed out" is this one, but if DCDuring is reading this, I don't think he'll let me get away with it . . . —Ruakh TALK 02:08, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
