Talk:linga

Presence of Glottal Stop?

@Ysrael214 The thing is, it seems like we can't be sure which of the 8 definitions of "linga" had a glottal stop, because they look identical, and the only indication is "malingain", but does that mean all of them have glottal stops? We can't say because that would mean "linga" meaning "sesame" also had a glottal stop, but we don't say it with a glottal stop. You see how it's vague? So for the other obsolete definitions, I don't think we can assume that there's a glottal stop. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:20, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser Yes, of those 8, only 2 of those refer to turning head and the other one for swerving which this Etymology 2 defined. I didn't touch ling̃ã with sesame.

• Ling̃a. pc. Desviarse á un lado, Um. De donde, An.
• Ling̃a. pc. Ladear la cabeza. Um. 1. Liling̃alinga: se ha de pronunciar haciendo alguna fuerza en el ng̃a. Di maling̃a ang muc-ha, no poderla ladear. Maling̃ain. pc. El que suele andar asi. Pero se ha de detener algo en el Li.

For the wobbling of the boat, maybe separate that? Pronunciation 2? But I'm okay with reverting it back to what you did. (Though I think it's the same with the tilt of head, just an extension or something)Ysrael214 (talk) 15:39, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser For the deaf one and forgetful, looks like it also has a glottal stop.

1. Vocabulario has lingain, for forgetful and deaf

2. Though,Tagalog Hispano listed this as lingà which means the headword "lingâ or lingà" is still correct. Ysrael214 (talk) 15:54, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
