Thread:INaturalist talk:Are you sure you want to remove this taxon from checklist/de/Checkliste vs. Prüfliste/reply (3)

Common German onomasiology.

• prüfen (examine) - Prüfling (the person or material or piece to be examined, ...)
• roh (raw) - Rohling (a raw or rude person, a work or piece before any finishing, ...)
• setzen (put) - Setzling (a plant not yet or freshly planted)
• saugen (suck) - Säugling (a baby)
• etc.

Well - checkliste in travel, car maintenance, preparation of some panned work or action is well in the realm that I meant to refer to, so yes, you may be right that automated word counters find it frequently. Rethinking, I may have found a clearer semantic distinction between Prüfliste and checkliste - besides the fact that checkliste is both an anglicism and Denglish and not considered a German word - both spelling and the widely missing adapted pronunciation tell us that - if you have a list which you run through quickly, expecting an OK on every position, and, if not so, have quick response usually fixing that such as insert a razor in your suitcase, or remove from you handbaggage, you have a checklist. If you can expect single steps to take longer, or routinely require to deviate in lots of detail, in-depth examinations, unmounting, laboratory work, you name it, you more likely are close to a Prüfliste.
