Vale not a land form... as in vale a deceased person My employer on occasions send notices out when someone the organisation knows dies... he puts at the top of the notice `` Vale Joe Bloggs ''... is this correct use of the word and if so what does it mean ? or should it be hale ? Your comments are welcome Debbie Webb, Perth Western Australia -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240. 114.47 ( talk ) 04 : 53, 9 May 2008 ( UTC ) Vale is the Latin to say farewell. 58.106. 26.122 ( talk ) 07 : 30, 9 May 2009 ( UTC ) Agree also with this use. Vale is used commonly in Australia in relation to an obituary. Would love to see this meaning incorporated. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.172. 4.45 ( talk ) 00 : 02, 21 December 2011 ( UTC ) Where is vale as valley, other than this disambiguation page ? The full definition of vale as a wide river valley is here, and on no other page I can yet find. Why is this mixed up with the disambiguation page for vale ? Is there a second page somewhere showing again the definition of a vale as a wide river valley ? I expect my link will be soon flagged as being to a disambiguation page. Perhaps I should use an external reference to define a vale and not rely on the wikipedia reference. Prairieplant ( talk ) 11 : 23, 10 February 2013 ( UTC ) I rewrote it myself. I finally found vale on the Valley page, as a section heading, so made the link to that. Made clear that this is a disambiguation page, added link to wiktionary for vale, and made geography a section instead of the opening text that fooled me, and rewrote the sentence with the red - linked term ' chalk downs '. Geographers, feel free to improve it ! Prairieplant ( talk ) 17 : 20, 16 February 2013 ( UTC ) I 've tweaked this a bit - reformatted the dab page, as the `` valley '' sense is not established as the `` primary usage '' of the word `` vale '' in the encyclopedia ( if it was, there would be a redirect from Vale to the valley article, and the disambiguation page would be at Vale ( disambiguation ) ). The `` vale '' section of Valley needs a reference - but most of that whole article needs references ! Adding the wiktionary section is fine, but we do n't declare `` this is a disambiguation page '' at the top : the `` xxx may refer to '' does that. Pam D 19 : 22, 16 May 2013 ( UTC ) Thank you ! This is way better, clearer right away that it is a disambiguation page. And you are right, the Valley page needs references. Much appreciated.
