Confusion about "wen"

edit

The claim of Chinese aquarists describing headgrowth as "wen" is ambiguous. Although the word "wen" exists in English with a meaning close to "cyst" wikt:wen, the use of quotes makes it sound like it came from Chinese, especially to people unfamiliar with the old word wen. It's also not clear who these aquarists were and whether they were translating a word from Chinese.

There is also a claim on the Aquarium Wiki about how "wen" may have been used because it looks like the character 文, but it's not clear if this article is refering to that claim as neither article have a source. Okoyos (talk) 14:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
