@Brett: Is it a contraction? Victor Bob [talk] 05:54, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Is it not?--Brett (talk) 11:55, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- It's a verb, not a contraction. From a morphological point of view, it's an enclitic. A contraction is composed of two or more words.
- Yes, it's a verb, and morphologically, it is a contraction. While it is surely a clitic, that is not a term we would want to use on the Simple English Wiktionary. A contraction need not be composed of two or more words. Scotch is a contraction of Scottish, for example.--Brett (talk) 14:31, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
