Another Meco entry, but not a recognised suffix, although -værk in Danish is. Derived terms can go under verk (no Nynorsk entry at present). DonnanZ (talk) 16:47, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
It appears in the Bokmål Wiktionary, so I'll have to withdraw the RFD. DonnanZ (talk) 17:13, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure what to do with this. It appears in Norwegian Wiktionary, yet it's not a recognised suffix in the Bokmålsordboka or Nynorskordboka [1]. DonnanZ (talk) 21:19, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think -verk can be considered a suffix in Norwegian; it rather appears to be the second component in a compound? The fact that "verk" exists as a simplex in the same meaning as the proposed suffix seems to make it a suffixoid at best. Interestingly though, Wiktionary does have an entry for English -work.

- Yes -work is a recognised suffix, whereas -works isn't, which is why it's now an RFD. Norwegian Bokmål verk (and Norwegian Nynorsk verk) is a word with two meanings and two genders, and I prefer to list derived terms there. DonnanZ (talk) 09:46, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- The senses given at verk already exist at verk. However, perhaps -verk has one or both of the senses of Danish -værk that DDO gives?
- Also, DWDS gives, for German -werk: bezeichnet mehrere zusammengehörende oder gleichartige Gegenstände "denotes several objects that are similar or that belong together", which it calls "not productive".__Gamren (talk) 19:19, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- I just looked up “-værk” in Den Danske Ordbog. That's interesting. I wonder is it's an error of omission by the Norwegian dictionaries, who knows? I quite often find words in the DDO which don't appear in the Norwegian ones, yet they are definitely used in Norwegian. DonnanZ (talk) 19:41, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

- I don't think it makes much sense to RFV suffixes, if the question is to find out whether something is a suffix or just a component in a compound. This was RFD'd later, but the RFD was withdrawn. If this isn't a suffix, then it should be RFD'd, not RFV'd. Otherwise, it'd be best to just close this RFV. @Donnanz — surjection ⟨??⟩ 20:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delete, assuming it works the same way German Werk does (it certainly looks that way judging by the derived terms). No workgroup so let's just ping @Supevan, Fay Freak. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 02:55, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per Fytcha. Fay Freak (talk) 02:59, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete yeah. Not present as a suffix in any dictionary, and all information in the entry belongs in verk. All of those derived nouns are just compound nouns. Supevan (talk) 09:15, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
RFD-deleted. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 04:17, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
