Adjective[edit]
Does the adjective definition I added a while ago count as an attributive noun? I just learned the policy for those, and am unsure how inclusive it is. JodianWarrior (talk) 02:13, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, it does. There are ways to test for a real adjective, though they aren't airtight. For instance, is it quantifiable? That is, can you say "
That vase is more trefoil than the other one." or ask "How trefoil is that vase?" Another is predicate usage: can you say "That vase is trefoil"? Chuck Entz (talk) 15:51, 3 July 2015 (UTC)- Thanks. Should the definition be removed then? JodianWarrior (talk) 20:14, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah. I've moved the "trefoil jug" citation to the appropriate noun sense. Equinox ◑ 22:57, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
