Support. If my understanding is correct, the typically shaped food gave its name to things that ressemble it (in shape, by the two-sided pressing technique that shaped it). Thus for such other meaning, the original tells the etymology of the newer usage (and thus a wrong link passing by the article would not be so terrible, provided a link to newer usage is at the top of the page). It is still the prevailing common usage, outside specific fields and the normal interpretation unless the context clearly shows another usage. — SomeHuman9 Jan2007 16:38 (UTC)
Support The food wafer is the namesake for the electronic wafer, which is referenced almost exclusively within a limited subcommunity of tech folks. --Serge06:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Having read this article and that on waffles, it strikes me there is probably a link, etymological and possibly culinary, between the early 'oublies' and the 'Oblea'. Can anyone find any sources for this? I've had a quick search, but unable to find much of use - but I'm new to this! Carty239 (talk) 09:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
