The majority of the content on this page is more suited to Wiktionary than Wikipedia and I am considering converting the page to a disambiguation page and augmenting wikt:mirth accordingly. Comments on this would be appreciated. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:09, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Seems to me like it is an unfinished article that needs to grow further. It is one of the principal human emotions. Haiduc 00:38, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

comment From the opening line it is stated to be an emotion with an evocation ("merriment and gaiety accompanied with laughter" and later "happiness accompanied by laughter"), making it a visible manifestation of a principal emotion. However, I'm not a professional in this area, so is may very well be so classed as a principal emotion. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:05, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
