New concepts: GUAVA and BREEZE

FredericBlum opened this issue · 8 comments

Based on existing entries and a new list that I will add soon, I propose to add the following entries to Concepticon:

  • GUAVA
    • fruit from the myrtle family, native to Latin America
    • unmapped in three existing lists, +1 that I will add
  • BREEZE
    • a gentle to moderate wind
    • possibly conflicting concepts: WIND; however, I would interpret BREEZE as a sub-entry to WIND
    • unmapped in 4 existing lists, +1 that I will add

I am not against adding the two concepts.

@AnnikaTjuka If you also agree, I would create the PR for this

I'm a bit hesitant about BREEZE because there are several glosses like wind_breeze or WIND (BREEZE). So the distinction might not be so clear and at some point, we would need a WIND OR BREEZE concept. @LinguList Would it make sense to introduce WIND OR BREEZE directly and map all ambiguous glosses (e.g. wind_breeze) as well as the individual breeze glosses to it?

Yes, I see the point. We would need a detailed check of all currently mapped wind glosses. But those cases with BREEZE in brackets are not necessarily cases where it is wind or breeze, but rather it explains: wind is the wind like in breeze not like in "break wind" or whatever.

While in one case it says indeed "as in breeze", the other three cases do not specify. It says "WIND (BREEZE)" or "wind_breeze".

The typical procedure is to use brackets in the meaning "as in", so I would rather say: they refere to WIND than to BREEZE.

Perfect. Then all "Wind (Breeze)" cases stay mapped to WIND, and only those cases that only have "breeze" will be added to BREEZE (four occurrences). If you agree to this, I would add a PR that adds the concepts from #1290 and this issue here.

Sounds good to me.
