 * Thanks for that . Now I need some help figuring out the form of the word. An unstart event is clearly a noun. The airflow through the engine is said to be unstarting during the event. Also, possibly different in usage, the airflow can be said to have the unstarting quality. e.g. "The unstarting air caused a violent kickback." So that form is adjective, but could the other be a verb or am I messing something up? Thanks for your assistance. Elfabet (talk) 16:04, 29 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah if something can unstart (-s, -ing, -ed) then it's a verb. I suppose you can interpret "an unstarting X" as an adjective (OED does this for example) but it might be arguable. Reading the links above is good if you have time but honestly if you find a similar entry and copy-paste the code then you probably won't go far wrong. Preview button will help too.
