Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

Using 'hloov tau' (alter/change-able) is a better fit for 'variable' as it broadly indicates the ability to be changed. While 'mutable' is also 'hloov tau', the context will differentiate them. This aligns better with the core concept of a variable as a container for changeable data.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy While 'pauv tau' conveys changeability, it leans heavily towards 'swap' or 'exchange'. A more general term for 'variable' in a programming context is needed, encompassing the idea of a named storage location that can hold different values.
  • specificity Too specific to the 'swap' aspect of changeability.
  • consistency Could be confused with 'mutable' ('hloov tau') as noted in the documentation.
