Manjar Verb?

Question

In the dictionary, "manjar" means "delicacy". But, it says, manjar can also be a verb and even gives a conjugation. Well, it certainly looks like one but I doubt it! Can it be a verb? If so, what does it mean, exactly?

Answer 1

Manjar no es un verbo en español. Manjar es un alimento o comida especialmente exquisito.

Answer 2

Manjar is "to eat" in ido a purposely constructed language (like esperanto). I think that was the wictionary entry you mentioned.

It doesn't seem to be a verb in Spanish. SpanishDict has a habbit of being wrong about nouns which end in ar, and I can't really think of any that end in ir or er, but I imagine it would have a problem with those as well.

Azahar, lugar, etc. all end in AR though they are nouns, and I believe originally azahar was listed as a verb on this site.

Perhaps you are confusing manjar with mascar or masticar, Tom?

It didn't even register to me that Ido was a language. I found an answer that I thought fit even after other sources didn't list manjar as a verb. - Tom523, May 1, 2013
