 * The pathway was here also exceeding narrow, and therefore good Christian was the more put to it; for when he sought, in the dark, to shun the ditch on the one hand, he was ready to tip over into the mire on the other; also when he sought to escape the mire, without great carefulness he would be ready to fall into the ditch.

Talk:greave

Etymology
This word 'GREAVE', with the synonymous meaning to 'GROVE', is obsolescent or archaic. There is no connection between GREAVE and Danish GREIN[2] (branch, bough) that is from Proto-Germanic *grainiz, except semantically. That is merely a coincidence; but the origin of GREAVE is related to that of GROVE[6], which please see, also on its talk page. Leasnam has just helpfully connected the two words, which is as far as can be attestibly defined. The assumption that it is from Old English GRAFIAN[1] (to dig) is false, even though the earliest known meaning of GROVE is that of a clearing or cut path through a wood. 20:34, 15 January 2016 (UTC) Andrew (talk) There is no foundational evidence for any connection between Etymology 1 and Etymology 2.

Welcome
Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

 * Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. The most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
 * If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
 * If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome! —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:10, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Non-Italian rivers

Hi, when you add grc-IPA to new entries, please remember to mark all instances of α, ι, and υ (not counting where they appear in diphthongs) as either long or short.

βεττονική
The entry looks good, but I am not happy with L&SJ with regards to the naming of the organism. In contemporary English sources Paul's betony is Veronica officinalis (syn. Stachys betonica). In taxonomic sources Sideritis purpurea is Sideritis romana subsp. purpurea. English vernacular names for Sideritis spp. are ironwort, mountain tea, shepherd's tea. Unfortunately this kind of thing often happens with vernacular names of taxa, especially in older languages, like Hebrew, Greek, Latin, etc. I don't know how to proceed, except perhaps put this information on the talk page for the entry.

Surnames
Hi. Where can I search the 2010 United States Census? I want to see why our Sahakyan is 97.18% Hispanic/Latino. Also, is for referencing the Dictionary of American Family Names (DAFN). If the entry is not found in DAFN, obviously it should not be cited. --Vahag (talk) 20:40, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Sorry, it was my mistake: clearly 97.18% of White people hold this surname. Anyway, you can download the list of United States surnames occuring 100 or more times in the United States Census Bureau site, you just need to search Names_2010 Census. Hope it might help you. Samubert96 (talk) 20:49, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I found the list, thanks. Vahag (talk) 20:54, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Please stop adding swp links from generic surnames to names of specific individuals on Wikipedia. This is of no etymological value, and creates the likely misleading impression that the linked person is the forebear of the name, which most are obviously not. bd2412 T 18:12, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

 * I like adding the famous bearer as a usex, as in and . That way the reader knows this is indeed the entry for the surname of the person he was researching and not for some homonymous surname. Vahag (talk) 20:32, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Pysher
Did you get this right? You mentioned Pysher and Pyscher on the page. I'll leave it to you to fix... GreyishWorm (talk) 19:08, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks for reporting this, I was probably influenced by the German surname Beischer which originated the American surname and I added an unexistent -c- Samubert96 (talk) 08:41, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Ottoman borrowings from Arabic
I think you have been too aggressive changing der to bor in Ottoman Turkish etymologies. Ottoman Turkish terms derived from Arabic would not be considered borrowings in Wiktionary's classification unless they came into the language after c. 1500 and were not indirect borrowings through Persian. Words that came into Turkish before c. 1500 are inherited from Old Anatolian Turkish. (We should probably make that an etymology-only code within Ottoman Turkish, but for now it is not.) For the most part we have not distinguished direct borrowings from Arabic from indirect borrowings via Persian. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 11:19, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

 * @Samubert96 Where did you take Common Turkic *çörek from? Allahverdi Verdizade (talk) 13:26, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It was already written as a borrowing from Common Turkic *çörek, you should ask to the user who created the page. If you think that it's not correct, feel free to modify the etymology Samubert96 (talk) 13:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

I know the surname exists, but drew a blank on Wikipedia. Can you come up with any references? DonnanZ (talk) 11:51, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Donnanz, I've just edited the page adding some references I've found in Forebears, which states that the surname is still present in the United States, and in ancestry.com, which provides a list of people who carried this surname. I hope it can help. Samubert96 (talk) 08:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! My source was the Railway Magazine, March 1950: "R. W. Wolston, of Brixham, was instrumental in obtaining the Act for the railway, which was authorised on July 25, 1864 .", and "When Wolston was nearly ruined, " DonnanZ (talk) 09:37, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I guess you can add your source as a quotation, the more references we have the better the entry will be Samubert96 (talk) 09:47, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I had already considered that, ✅. DonnanZ (talk) 10:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Unwanted American Statistics Revisited
You're still adding them, aren't you? If you cannot be bothered to start using MORE RECENT statistics (e.g., from the 2020 U.S. Census, which were made fully available last year anyway), please consider starting to remove ALL outdated so-called statistics sections referencing the 2010 U.S. Census or a bot may be set up to get rid of those come what may. IMHO, they are frankly NOT needed (not to mention potentially inviting additions, by other users, from, e.g., the 2021 British and Canadian Censuses) and clutter up many, MANY proper noun pages. I also see this was brought up before in the Beer Parlor, and that a couple of other users supported completely getting rid of them "with supreme prejudice", but that you are STILL stubbornly refusing to acknowledge that no more such sections should have been added. Kind but stern regards. -- 46.208.36.99 16:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
