- See also: the Tea room, where you can post the definition of a word you’re trying to find, and hopefully someone will help you find it.

Section: 0–9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Have an entry request? Add it to the list – but please:
- Consider creating a citations page with your evidence that the word exists instead of simply listing it here
- Think twice before adding long lists of words as they may be ignored.
- If possible provide context, usage, field of relevance, etc.
- Check the Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion if you are unsure if it belongs in the dictionary.
- If the entry already exists, but seems incomplete or incorrect, do not add it here; add a request template to the entry itself to ask someone to fix the problem, e.g.
{{rfp}}
or{{rfe}}
for pronunciation or etymology respectively.- — Note also that such requests, like the information requested, belong on the base form of a word, not on inflected forms.
Please remove entries from this list once they have been written (i.e. the link is “live”, shown in blue, and has a section for the correct language)
There are a few things you can do to help:
- Add glosses or brief definitions.
- Add the part of speech, preferably using a standardized template.
- If you know what a word means, consider creating the entry yourself instead of using this request page.
- For inflected languages, if you see inflected forms (plurals, past tenses, superlatives, etc.) indicate the base form (singular, infinitive, absolute, etc.) of the requested term and the type of inflection used in the request.
- For words in languages that don’t use Latin script but are listed here only in their romanized form, please add the correct form in the native script.
- Don’t delete words just because you don’t know them – it may be that they are used only in certain contexts or are archaic or obsolete.
- Don’t simply replace words with what you believe is the correct form. The form here may be rare or regional. Instead add the standard form and comment that the requested form seems to be an error in your experience.

[edit]- We have 1-h TL FM. Along the same lines we could also have 10-h TL FM, 100-h TL FM, and 1,000-h TL FM / 1000-h TL FM. (Seemingly only attested with these numbers).
- I am interested in seeing a fuller coverage of plate tectonics and submarine features like plates themselves (Philippine Sea Plate, Scotia Plate), oil fields (Chengbei, I have no list of these), trenches (Manila Trench, Mariana Trench), ridges (Mid-Atlantic Ridge, East Pacific Rise), and similar (James Shoal, Darwin Mounds) etc. This kind of work will be mostly based in academic literature. I hope to see a more adequate system of categories developed. To show you how woefully inadequate Wiktionary is at this time (2022), I just today created Mid-Atlantic Ridge and dumped it into Category:Oceanography and Category:Places.

- Possibly a missing meaning of Secondary Security Screening Selection, see here: After approaching security, the TSA agent who scanned our boarding passes asked us to step aside while he radioed his supervisor. “We got a quad,” he said. Hythonia (talk) 17:12, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- I suspect the missing sense is not specifically "Secondary Security Screening Selection", but more generally "a set of four" (quadruplet sense 1), in this case four Ss in the phrase. Alternatively, perhaps it started out that way but has subsequently become lexicalized with the more specific meaning. Cnilep (talk) 03:43, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- towbody - OneLook - Google (Books • Groups • Scholar) - WP Library - (an airborne or underwater towed device; towfish seems to be a synonym in the underwater case) - DREP has designed and built a specialised towbody for helicopter tests of a superconducting magnetic gradiometer mounted in a vertical dewar. The towbody is essentially a vertical cylinder with tail fins: i.e. the flow of air is perpendicular to the cylinder axis. The design is discussed in detail in an Airworthiness Report which is attached as an Appendix. The Appendix includes structural calculations and towbody response to aerodynamic forces. The report summarizes the data recorded during a flight trial of the towbody and compares to the predicted towbody behaviour. The principal result of the trial was the appearance of a pitching instability at 60 knots. The instability is discussed and recommendations are made for towbody modifications to eliminate it. - Hopkin, D.; and Wilson, H. ; Design and Test of a Towbody for an airborne SQUID gradiometer, Defence Research Establishment Pacific, Victoria (BC) Technical Memorandum DREP-TM-92-44, 1992
The depressor allows the user to bring a sonar towbody within an optimum altitude above the seabed. Although lower tow speeds also assist in lowering a towfish, speeds below 1–1.5 knots may produce towbody instability such as kiting and yaw resulting in data distortions. - "Sonar Glossary - D.", www.reson.com, 2011 - trade line - OneLook - Google (Books • Groups • Scholar) - WP Library - (new sense) "Mengers is still by her telephone, still swapping trade lines with w:David Geffen early in the morning.
