Roundness of the World[edit]

@Ysrael214 Just wondering if the definition "roundness of the world" is also from the 1613 source? If it is, how is it written? Thanks. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 01:32, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Mar vin kaiser "redondez del mundo". Can also be found in the 1860 one. Ysrael214 (talk) 01:36, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser Not sure if there's a nonliteral sense to that to mean something like "all over the Earth" but that's what's written. Ysrael214 (talk) 01:46, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Ysrael214: That's actually very possible, since even in modern Tagalog, we have the expression "sa kabilugan ng mundo" to mean the entire world, and in regional languages like Bikol and Hiligaynon, the word "bilog" means "entire", so in Bikol "sa bilog na mundo" means the entire world. And that's what the main modern definition is now, the "world" or "the entire world". So I think the current entry is already ok. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 01:50, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser sanglibotan in Vocabulario 1860 is defined as "la redondez de la tierra". Which seems to be meaning "the entire world". Is it still obsolete then since we use "buong daigdig" for that sense? Then again "buong sanlibutan" is also used. Or is it already the "world; earth" meaning?

@Mar vin kaiser rae.es defined redondez de la Tierra, as the entire surface of the world. Ysrael214 (talk) 03:15, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Ysrael214: Then it looks like it makes sense that when Vocabulario says "redondez del mundo", it means "the entire world", and since we have that definition in modern Tagalog, then "roundness of the world" can be removed. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 07:57, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
