An IP editor insists on adding this term, which is argued to not exist. — surjection ⟨?⟩ 10:46, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
- The definition doesn't really make sense to me; "giving vent to an emotion" doesn't seem to correspond to any of the definitions at pressure.__Gamren (talk) 11:02, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Surjection: The online dictionary of Filipino (based on the UP Diksiyonaryong Filipino) lists the various meaning of Tagalog "bunto". The most objectionable content of that entry is the supposed etymology of the word (it is usually difficult whether a word in Tagalog is a cognate or a loanword from Malay, since both belong in the Austronesian language group), so I am thinking of deleting the etymology part. I already have confronted that guy in the "List of loanwords in Tagalog" Wikipedia page since that user keeps adding "bunto" as a Malay loanword, but never providing a source. But yes, "bunto" exists in Tagalog, it just has many meanings and I'm currently struggling on how to translate those meanings in English. Stricnina (talk) 18:24, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- OK. I'll leave defining the meanings to you and withdraw the RFV. — surjection ⟨?⟩ 19:07, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
