Aral is not a Turkish word nor is it in the official Turkish dictionary. — This unsigned comment was added by Tanhu Ulusoy (talk • contribs).

@Tanhu Ulusoy WT:RFVN could be considered if you don't think it's a real word. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 20:45, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

@Tanhu Ulusoy: I added references showing that it was a word in Ottoman Turkish. It may not have survived to modern Turkish. Kelekian's dictionary called it an old word in 1911. It does not appear in the modernized Redhouse dictionary (which discarded words that were obsolete by the 19th century), {{R:ota:Devellioğlu}}, or Nişanyan's etymology web site (which includes only words that survived to the mid-20th century or so).

Moral lesson

@Mar vin kaiser Unless moral is used as an adjective that the lesson deals with morality, moral lesson is redundant. It's only either moral or lesson. Common mistake in the Philippines as well. Or is that intended to be an adjective? Ysrael214 (talk) 15:47, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

@Ysrael214: Yeah, intended as an adjective. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 11:43, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
