Talk:Proposition (mathematics)

Lemma
This article says that "proposition" is used for assertions which are easy to prove, or are too obvious to need any. This is the proper and original sense of lemma; the Greeks called them that as "something received or taken; something taken for granted" OED. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:26, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Why is this page here?
This is a usage largely confined to textbooks, and a purely verbal article. Why is it not at Wiktionary? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:26, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The relevant discussion is at Wikipedia_talk:WPM. If this fails to produce a solution, I will propose transferring to Wiktionary, as an unsourced (even if defensible) dictionary definition. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 13:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
