question
What does this sentence mean? "Whether the grave nor the mummy of the dog survived." --Green Cardamom (talk) 06:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- It means that whether the grave nor the mummy of the dog remained. Survived can be used here, too. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 08:05, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry.. still don't understand. Can you say it using different words, so I understand the intended meaning? I believe you may be using "whether" and "nor" incorrectly, the sentence doesn't make sense. Are you saying the grave survived but the mummy of the dog did not? Green Cardamom (talk) 06:21, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- "Whether" is usually used to present two alternatives "whether A or B", but not "whether A nor B". Is it possible you mean "or" instead of "nor"? Also, "whether" is asking a question so it needs a resolution, such as "Whether the grave or the mummy of the dog survived is unknown" (if that is the intended meaning). Green Cardamom (talk) 06:30, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- Is it possible instead of "Whether" you mean "Neither"? That would make sense. I'll be bold and make the change. Green Cardamom (talk) 21:20, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Ok another question.. it says "There is a part of a lead visible on the upper-right corner" .. is this a leash? I'll change it because I think leash is more common and clear. Green Cardamom (talk) 14:29, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yep :) Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 21:10, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Abuwtiyuw → Abutiu – See Wiktionary:ꜥbwtjw: the conventional anglicization appears to be Abutiu, Abuwtiyuw being obsolete (supported by a 1936 source) and furthermore quite hard to spell. Also to mention the article was created as Abutiu but moved because GDK argued Abutiu was a German transcription, even though there’s an English source supporting it Yacàwotçã (talk) 02:29, 15 June 2026 (UTC) — Relisting.
