kalodont

kaladont

Tried to clean up a bit. The toothpaste brand wasn't dict material; the game might be (?). Equinox ◑ 19:01, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Also this may be an alt spell, or a misspell, for kaladont (or that might be a misspell): the same user created both. Equinox ◑ 19:02, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Looks like "kaladont" is newer at least according to images from google [1]. Both are used as a term for toothpaste (originating from the brand name) and for the game. Do "hjp" and "kakosepise.com" qualify as good verificator sites: How do you write:kaladont-ili-kalodont (on kakosepise.com) and kalodont entry on Hrvatski jezični portal (the site having its own ref template on wikt, which I used on kalodont entry)? Regarding the "kaladont" it exists on Vukajlija also, an Urban-Dictionary-like site well-known in sh-sphere: [2]. Do these suffice? There's even a w:Kalodont article and when you google/ncr "kalodont" among first ten hits I get kakosepise.com. --biblbroks_{дискашн} 23:05, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

I don't want to make problems and I won't. I wrote that article and I want to defend it. I found that word in Rječnik stranih riječi by Vladimir Anić and Ivo Goldstein, Second edition. On page 649, second column, fifth hint there is a word kalodont, in brackets prema jednom tvorničkom imenu proizvoda that means after a name of product, after that pasta za zube that means toothpaste. We also use term kalodont for a game and all toothpastes, like word džip (Jeep) for all big cars or tule (Thule) for transportation boxes on roof of the cars. Some people say kaladont what is alternative form of word kalodont. Thank you.

I can find a few citations of each on Google Scholar and Books, which I've added to the entry. The "toothpaste" sense is cited. - -sche (discuss) 16:43, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

The "game" sense is now cited also. Cheers, --biblbroks_{дискашн} 21:30, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Where? I only see one citation on Citations:kalodont, and it's of a verb, not the game sense (a noun). - -sche (discuss) 21:36, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

"Sampion u kalodontu" means "champion in kalodont - the game". Isn't only one cit required, three if it was deleted? --biblbroks_{дискашн} 21:51, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Aha; I was thrown off by the header which said it was a verb for "to make something like an encyclopedia". WT:CFI requires three citations, but the RFV seems to have been filed out of concern that the entry was shoddily formatted and referred to brand names, whereas it's now been clarified that the word is generic. I'm fine with passing the entry as-is, unless someone doubts that the game sense exists. - -sche (discuss) 22:26, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Oh, sorry for the confusion. It was a leftover from another entry. I've been under the impression that you only need one cit to verify a word - this was from an old message to my talk page, will check that. Best regards, --biblbroks_{дискашн} 23:25, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Kaladont or kalodont?

If Serbian only uses "kaladont", shouldn't the detailed description be on kaladont then? 78.1.82.110 00:31, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Also in case anyone is confused about the placement of the accent, here is a recent commercial by the brand itself. Although there are some Neo-Shtokavian forced penults, they still stress the final syllable in "kaladont". They use the "kalodont" form which I don't hear here in continental Croatia. This probably started when the company changed name from Kaladont, not sure when that happened? 78.1.82.110 01:00, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
