Laiv[edit]

Transwiki. I wasn't aware of the existence of wiktionary. Sounds sound to transfer it there. Gaupepasser 19:17, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. A term nobody has heard of, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary anyway. The author of the article has had a pretty bad track record in creating unnotable articles. -- Egil 07:03, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: You shouldn't be too arrogant concerning words and phenomena that you aren't aware of. Granted, I haven't been exactly substantial in everything I've written, but that doesn't give you the privilege of scoffing at facts that are outside your horizon of knowledge.

Transwiki. I wouldn't say that nobody has heard of it, but it isn't a word used in English. This word is used in both Danish and Norwegian and is quite commonly used on the internet. Google search indictaes that "laiv" might also be used in German in the same way but I'm not sure. This is alreayd in the Norwegian (Bokmål) wikipedia: no:laiv. Jeltz talk 12:27, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki to Wiktionary. It's a real term, and a similar term lajv is also used in Swedish. — JIP | Talk 12:43, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, if it's already in the Norwegian wikitionary we don't need it leaking over here. --Asriel86 17:55, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
