Small thought: If the third-gender pronouns were fully incorporated, they wouldn't be *neo*pronouns, would they? (more) |

A: Does Japanese have pronouns? > What arguments are used to answer this question? Does it stem from a lack of agreement over how to define a pronoun? Essentially, yes. Even your own Wikipedia quote has the infamous [citation needed]: (reproduced here for emphasis) > Strictly speaking, pronouns do not take modifiers[citation ... (more) |

@curiousdannii That's up to the asker to decide, not us. Quote an answer there as an answer here if you feel it's good. We also have no policy forbidding reasking questions asked on other sites. (more) |

@manassehktz works fine with me, I'm just concerned about server load since, yn, we'll be serving moe stuff. Might not be too bad though if we @font-face it and make sure to only load fonts used on the page since most questions won't be more than one other language. If we decide to do that for a scri...

@manassehkatz Android is weird. Apparently, there are only a few fonts installed system-wide: Droid Sans, Droid Serif, and Droid Sans Mono, and Roboto (Android 4+). **However**, applications (including browsers) can install their own fonts (for their own use, not system-wide). Which means we can't re... (more) |

Crowdsourced font stack for Languages & Linguistics A continuation of my previous post.

We now have (basic) language support As of the most recent deploy, users now have the ability to mark text as a certain language! Users can now add `lang` attributes to html. For example, this is inline Hebrew ``` > This is עִברִית (Hebrew)! ``` > This is עִברִית (Hebrew)! and this is a quote in Japanese. ``` 日本語（にほ... (more) |

@DonielF ah, i didn't realize it was related to Judaism. Which reminds me, the Judaism community's weekly challenge is on the Hebrew alphabet... :) Perhaps you could ask a question there about what these timeline conflicts mean. (more) |

@fedorqui forgot to ask you this but could you edit your post and change your use of "categories" to the proper tag nomenclature? Just in case anyone gets confused after stumbling upon this. (more) |

@DonielF What is this Gemara, and when was this Sinai that you mention? (I'm not a scholar of Hebrew). According to a comment by Christopher Ray Miller, the adoption of the final forms was sometime around the 5th century BCE. (more) |

A: Why do certain Hebrew letters have alternate final forms? The final forms of `ך`, `ן`, `ף`, and `ץ` are the original forms. From a Quora answer to What's the origin of the final (sofit) forms for some of the Hebrew alphabet? > Four of the five “sofit” letters in Hebrew are actually older than their non-sofit counterparts: ך ן ף ץ, which all descend b...

There's no real way to show steps taken to equate "the better to ..." and "so as to ... better", since the construction isn't easily generalized - for example, "the faster to run" or "the bigger to grow" doesn't really sound natural (edited since my original examples were bad) (more) |

A: What tag hierarchy and ontology should Linguistics use? > So what is the proposed ontology for the Languages & Linguistics site? I foresee a category for each language and then, eventually, subcategories for the rest. Just so we're on the same page, we don't have subcategories. Categories are what are listed here, i.e. Q&A, Resources, and Meta. I assum... (more) |

@user8078 I can only guess at their methods. Perhaps the structure of the word קנז was the same as the way a profession word was formed (eg. in English, even if you didn't know "hunt" you could still see that "hunt" is a root of "hunter" off the bat). Perhaps there are archaic words with the same roo... (more) |

| Comment | Post #278906 |
@user8078 I'm not sure what you're asking for. It would be the other way around, קנז is (in theory) derived from an unused root that means hunt. (more) |

A: What does "unused root" mean? From ariel.org > What is meant by “unused” root is that though the root of the word has a specific meaning, you will not find that root meaning in literature. Only its derived meanings will be found. (more) |
