As far as the etymology, doesn't it come from "potential of hydrogen"? Is that the same thing as "From p, denoting negative logarithm, and H, denoting hydrogen."?
E. abu Filumena
According to the dictionary that came with my Mac: ORIGIN early 20th cent.: from p representing German Potenz ‘power’ + H, the symbol for hydrogen. ---> Tooironic00:45, 11 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Speedy keep? I beg to differ. It appears under the Russian L2 header but it's not Russian, it's Latin. If it's Russian, then $ is also Russian. Strong delete. Any Latin abbreviation, such as a chemical element may be used in any language and pronounced by whatever convention there is to pronounce Latin letters. Wikipedia pH articles in different languages listed are no argument at all. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)12:06, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
(after edit conflict) I entered the above before I looked at the page, not noticing that this applied only to the “Russian” entry. This is what I changed: I cannot imagine what the argument for deletion is. Speedy keep. --Lambiam 11:56, 28 September 2019 (UTC) I imagine that the argument is that this is translingual, and I tend to agree. We also do not want a “Russian” entry for Bos taurus. Delete. --Lambiam12:13, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
What can we do about the pronunciation information? Japanese has pronunciations from English and German, and Russian has pronunciation from Latin/French. I imagine that we ought to record this somewhere. —Suzukaze-c◇◇04:03, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Deutro.v. Deos alienos nõ habebis etc. Rñdeo, Anteꝗ̈ hęc verba ſint dicta a dño,ſic exclamat,Ego dñs deus tuus etc.
Deuteronomy 5. Thou shalt not have foreign gods, etc. I respond, before these words would have been said by the Lord, He exclaims thus: I am the Lord thy God, etc.
On what basis do you decide that e.g. is English but pH is not Russian (or Japanese, or even apparently English)? As a native English speaker e.g. and pH seem to be equally naturalized. --Lvovmauro (talk) 05:03, 30 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Chuck Entz: Was this a joke? Sorry, I don't quite follow. Yes, Latin pH looks like Cyrillic рН but in chemical, mathematical (chessboard) formulas Latin letters are used in Russian texts and they are normally understood by Russians from the context. The individual letters are pronounced using a version of the Latin names for letters with some adjustments with a mixture of French. English abbreviations may be called using English letter names but it's not consistent, e.g. SQL, HTML, etc. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)23:37, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
(Keep) This Japanese entry provides information that pH is pronounced ピーエイチ(pīeichi), ピーエッチ(pīetchi) or ペーハー(pēhā). This is useful.片割れ靴下 (talk) 15:06, 1 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Not useful at all. These are various possible pronunciations of the Latin letters, that's all. All possible English/Latin, etc. abbreviations follow the same pattern. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)03:01, 29 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
It was already removed in June 2020, and till that time I count 2 deletes (Anatoli T., Lambiam), 1 keeps (片割れ靴下). Now it could be at 2:2 + this: --20:30, 29 December 2020 (UTC) — This unsigned comment was added by 2003:DE:373F:4037:3C6C:85B5:850A:BEA0 (talk).
