Dec 22, 2017 at 23:05 comment added WS2 @EdwinAshworth It is NOT in the OED, at least not in the current online edition. One of the suggested words which comes up when you enter it is "subjunctive" bearing out John Lawler's concerns.
Dec 22, 2017 at 21:57 comment added Edwin Ashworth @Clare You do mean OED and not ODO?
Dec 22, 2017 at 21:54 comment added Arm the good guys in America Seriously, OneLook dictionary search provides zero returns. And it's not in the OED. So you choose: trust the unprofessionally compiled Wiktionary or go with multiple, professionally compiled resources.
Dec 22, 2017 at 21:51 comment added Arm the good guys in America If it's in Wiktionary it must be true.
Dec 22, 2017 at 21:49 comment added Edwin Ashworth It's probably used by modal citizens.
Dec 22, 2017 at 21:33 comment added John Lawler Subjugate, the verb, is pronounced /'səbʤəˌget/, with a tense /e/ in the last syllable. I've never seen or heard subjugative as an adjective; I wouldn't use it because it would look and sound too much like subjunctive, and that wouldn't help anything.
