RFV discussion: July 2019[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time.

Latin arsiō neuter

(Notifying Metaknowledge, Fay Freak, Brutal Russian, JohnC5): @Lambiam Surely this is an error for feminine? The Italian semi-learned descendant arsione is feminine (although the Old French arson is marked as masculine). Benwing2 (talk) 12:59, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes. I have added a quote. Fay Freak (talk) 13:19, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
I don’t see that it offers a gender reveal.  --Lambiam 13:24, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
factę et impositę?? (Not the domus, I understand.) Also prisio has “sua” and is feminine in Romance languages, see the translations of prison, including French; as it is nothing but prehensiō. Fay Freak (talk) 13:57, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I had overlooked the facts and impositions :), which indeed make the noun here unquestionably feminine.  --Lambiam 16:31, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
The accusative arsionem can be seen here and here, which is incompatible with the neuter gender. Two cites is meagre evidence, though. I did not spot the form arsio in an obviously accusative position or other neutrality-implying forms, but the existence of the proper nouns Arsio and Arsiona does not help.  --Lambiam 13:48, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Anyway, if one finds a word with this suffix not being feminine, we are eager to attain knowledge of it. Fay Freak (talk) 13:57, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Until such time as a neutral citation emerges, it seems best to not only change the gender to f, but also fix the declension accordingly.  --Lambiam 16:31, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
