- A unión e a mutu'axuda fai a forza; pro a unión e a axuda entre os gallegos é imposibre, porque cada un vive com'as lapas drento da própea cónchega, figurandoselle que pra nada ten que parar mentes na sorte do viciño, sendo así qu'o mecanismo social ten tal trabazón qu'o dano e desperfeuto da máis pequena das súas rodas ocasiona a roína e perda de tod'a máquena

Language codes
The lang parameter specifies the version of Wiktionary to link to. This is a Wikimedia language code, not a Wiktionary language code. The two sets of language codes are similar, but there are some critical differences. For example, Wiktionary has a single language code  for Serbo-Croatian, and no language codes for national variants of Serbo-Croatian (Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin). Wikimedia, however, has four separate corresponding variants: Serbo-Croatian, Serbian , Croatian and Bosnian. Wikimedia also has two variants corresponding to Belarusian in Wiktionary: Belarusian per se and Belarusian (Taraškievica). In addition, sometimes the same language has different codes; for example, Cantonese uses  in Wiktionary but   in Wikimedia, and Tarantino uses   in Wiktionary but   in Wikimedia.

arginine
By "Greek" do you mean Modern Greek, or Ancient Greek ? —Ruakh TALK 03:02, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Ancient Greek, should I re-add it under that tag? Djkcel (talk) 12:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I realized afterward, when I set about transliterating it, that it had a bunch of English letters in the middle of it; so, I removed it. But if you can add the correct Ancient Greek, then yes, please do so. :-)  —Ruakh TALK 13:24, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Sorry! My source says "arginoeis" and I wasn't sure how to write that in the original Greek. Is there a resource to convert that to the correct letters? Djkcel (talk) 15:39, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Nope. If your source is an anglophone source, then we at least know there should be a smooth breathing mark on the initial alpha (since if it had a rough breathing mark, an anglophone source would write "ha-"), but even then, it's not obvious whether the first "i" should be an iota or an eta, whether/where there should be a tonos, etc. (I mean, it's not obvious to me. Someone who actually knows something about Ancient Greek might be able to figure it out.) —Ruakh TALK 16:21, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The actual spelling is . The only ambiguities in "arginoeis" are the o and the e, which could be short (omicron and epsilon) or long (omega and eta). There are 3 accents (though 2 are in complementary distribution with each other), and the position of the accent is phonemic. In other words, your examples only make sense in Modern, but not Ancient Greek. Your warning about the dangers of guessing was exactly right, though: the reverted edit had 3 Greek letters, and 2 were wrong. I created an entry for (a very tricky nt-stem- I hope I got it right), and added back that part of the etymology. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:43, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

A belated welcome
With all these discussions of minor points, I'm surprised no one gave you our standard welcome template, which has the resources so you can learn how to not make the kinds of mistakes you've been making:

Chuck Entz (talk) 05:52, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

etymology
Hello Djkcel! May I draw your attention to some templates that may be useful when adding etymologies?
 * term for attested words (ancestors and cognates)
 * recons for reconstructed words
 * etyl for the name of the language where a word comes from
 * rfscript for signalling a word in the wrong script

Example (in a Spanish lemma):  From foobar:, from

This should give: From Latin foobar, from Proto-Indo-European *foobar

If you encounter words in a wrong script, you could add to the lemma. In saxum, there was a word in Old Church Slavonic, but written in Latin characters. Here most words are in their native script: thus Old Church Slavonic in (Old) Cyrillic script. In such a case, you can add to the lemma, so others may find and fix the problem.

Have a look at the documentation of these templates or ask me or other users.

δρακεῖν
I have reverted your edit to this entry. Wiktionary policy is that we try not to duplicate information for form-of entries; it simply becomes too much work to keep all the information coordinated, up-to-date, and so on. The etymology you entered on δρακεῖν already existed on δέρκομαι, and belongs there (and only there). That being said, aside from the misplacement, it was a good etymology, I do appreciate your effort in entering it, and I sincerely hope you'll continue to work on Ancient Greek on Wiktionary. If you have any questions, please feel quite free to ask. Cheers. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 22:39, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Apologies for the delay, since it took me a minute to remember the talk page formatting. Appreciate the response, and a big d'oh for not realizing I was just editing one form of δέρκομαι and hence duplicating the origin. I'll keep a better eye out in the future and avoid clones.

Κρήτη
Could I ask what your source is for this? I'm not finding any evidence of the name κρυσ anywhere. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 23:21, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's from A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities (Smith, Williams) via OED, but unfortunately I probably mis-transliterated it, since they don't use Greek letters. "Krus" is said to be the mythological hero/ancestor (possibly Syrian/Philistine?) who Crete is named after, but I'm not sure if κρυσ is how that would be spelled. Would it be better to add in the romanized letters?
 * Sorry it has taken me so long to answer this question. In the future, if you have a transliteration, it's probably best to simply put down that transliteration, and add . -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 21:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * You should definitely double-check that. It's much more likely to be Κρής (Krḗs). I don't think you'll find "Krus" in any print source, unless there's a very strange typo out there somewhere. 2604:2D80:D50A:F300:0:0:0:1882 06:06, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

λίθος
Can I ask what your source is for this one, and if you know how it works? I'm trying to remember the various phoneme evolution rules, but am having a hard time getting "lithos" from "per". -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 21:26, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Please accept my apology. That origin was meant for πέτρα, not λίθος. I see that you already fixed it - appreciate it.

panocha and galla
Hi. I’d like to know the source for two etymologies you added: — Ungoliant (Falai) 18:43, 17 May 2013 (UTC) Also: Portuguese. — Ungoliant (Falai) 01:45, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * . How can Vulgar Latin have a word for a plant native to America?

 * Hey there. Let's see...

 * In Spanish, the original sense of 'panocha' was a loan translation of English panicle, which refers to a cluster of flowers. This itself came from Vulgar Latin panicula, itself a diminutive of panus "ear of millet," which from Greek "penos." Therefore when 'panocha' evolved in Spanish and took on several more meanings, such as 'corncob,' it always had that origin in the original botanical term from vulgar Latin. Source: OED.
 * "Galla" is a bit trickier. We use "gall" in English to refer to the sore spots on horses' skin by chafing, which came from Latin "galla" whose original sense of "oak apple" evolved into "lump on plant" or "sore." This is where Germanic shows up as a strong suggestion because the other meaning of "gall" in English is for bile and the contents of the gallbladder, which of course came through Germanic from PIE *ghel. The Germanic term for bile, bitter objects could have influenced Latin if the meaning was for a sore, especially when considering lumps/sores on plants. Source: OED.
 * Portuguese and Spanish arrumar are the same word and share the same original meaning, which was nautical. Many nautical terms were borrowed from Dutch; the original sense for arrumar was to distribute and place loads in a ship, borrowed from the Dutch nautical term for "space, central location" on a ship, from "ruim.' Source: A marine pocket dictionary of the Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German languages. Djkcel (talk) 02:13, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm skeptical about the loan-translation part: panocha shows the type of sound changes one would expect much earlier in the history of the language, so it must be inherited from Vulgar Latin. I suppose the panicle sense might be borrowed- but by means of substituting a similar word already present in Spanish. I changed "ear of corn" to "ear of grain" in the definition, because in US usage corn refers strictly to maize, and one can say things like "panocha de trigo". Chuck Entz (talk) 02:35, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * As for gall: the explanation in the entry is missing most of the information that links "poison sore" to the etymology of gall to the Latin term- leaving cryptic non sequiturs. You need to look at it from the viewpoint of someone who hasn't read the entries in other dictionaries, and add what's necessary. Linking to gall doesn't help, because one etymology doesn't mention anything about poison sores, and the other just links back to the Latin entry. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:53, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, millet. The entry used to say maize. Regarding arrumar, my dictionary says the etymology is uncertain, possibly from French arrumer or from a- + rumo + -ar.
 * Oh, and I just finished marking your edits as patrolled, and I must ask you: please start paying more attention to formatting! — Ungoliant (Falai) 03:01, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Joan Coromines (Breve diccionario etimológico ...) states:
 * panoja, del lat. vg. panucula (clásico panicula), diminutivo de panus. La variante regional panocha no está explicada con seguridad. — this contradicts your etymology.

Chinchilla vs. chinchilla
I don't know for a fact that the surname isn't from Aymara, but the fact that you added the etymology at the same time you added the etymology to the genus name gave me enough doubt to revert you on it. Do you really have a source that gives the surname and the animal name the same origin? I would think that Chinchilla de Monte-Aragón would be a more likely source. I don't remember the details, but this isn't the first time this has happened. Please be careful about placing etymologies in the correct entry. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:30, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Phi
It’s φ not ϕ. ϕ is a mathematical/IPA symbol. — Ungoliant (Falai) 19:15, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Borrowings
- Latin word was borrowed from Greek, which was in turn inherited from PIE blah blah, and has cognates blah blah. It the Latin word was not inherited from PIE, it makes no sense to mention Gothic, Old English, Albanian etc. cognates of the Greek word. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 00:40, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, so if the borrowing is from Greek + PIE, I can just leave it at that and leave the cognates out. I do think it's helpful to keep the PIE derivation in there as it keeps the tags (Latin words from PIE) updated. Thanks - Djkcel (talk) 02:33, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but that way you could get Japanese word being derived from PIE simply because of some English borrowing in Japanese. And also cannot make distinction between inherited and borrowed words by inspecting categories such as "Xxx terms derived from PIE". Now that I think about it, perhaps we should split these categories in two, one for inheritance ("Xxx terms inherited from Proto-X) and one for borrowings ("Xxx terms derived from Proto-Y"). That would also be useful for Romance languages who borrowed lots of post-Vulgar Latin vocabulary. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 02:44, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Arnica
Why do you think the Arabic origin is possible? Do you have information on what plant is referred to by 'arnabiyah'? Do you have information on plants in genus Arnica being native to Arab-speaking countries? DCDuring TALK 01:53, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Etymonline attributes it to Klein's "A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the English Language". I've only been able to find references going back as far as 1697, though I haven't looked that deeply, yet. Etymonline says 1753, but that's just the date Linnaeus published it in Species Plantarum. It's an alpine plant in southern Europe, so I would expect it to be known by a variety of poorly-attested local names before that. It does grow in Spain, where Arabic loanwords are fairly common, but I doubt that any Arabic name would be originally for the same plant, unless it was a name that originated in Spain (it's not uncommon for names to get transferred to new species outside of a language's homeland). The conventional wisdom seems to be that it might have come from ptarmica, which comes from the Greek word for sneezing. The main plant with that name is sneezewort, but it's possible that they both shared the name by virtue of their common ability to cause sneezing. At any rate, there doesn't seem to be any real evidence- just guesses. I think you were righ to change "probably" to "possibly". Chuck Entz (talk) 03:50, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

*λαγαδον
Hello Djkcel. You gave * as a cognate of the Latin (thank you, by the way, for answering the request for etymology). I noticed that it lacked a pitch marker, so I looked it up in LSJ; however, I could find no such term listed. Are you sure that it's right? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 19:14, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Hey there, ISMETA. Sorry for the confusion. The source was spot-on with its origin but it only uses romanized letters instead of Greek characters. That was my best guess at reconstructing 'lagadon.' Should I instead replace it with rfscript?

 * "The source"? It's hard to figure out how credible your etymology without knowing what the source is. I can't find anything that could be interpreted as "*lagadon" in Perseus. There's a verb, which might have a *lag- with the *g assimilated to the following *t, but nothing that starts with λαγαδ-. That doesn't mean the form can't exist, but it needs the attention of someone who can check other references. As for rfscript: if you don't have a reference that shows that the word exists in the correct language in the correct script with a reasonably close definition, you shouldn't be guessing at what it will be in the target script. In Ancient Greek, any transliteration that contains e or o is ambiguous (and there are other surprises such as unexpected spellings for some consonants followed by s or a velar consonant), and any Ancient Greek word (with very few exceptions) that doesn't show accents is incomplete.
 * In general, making stuff up based on guesswork is bad enough, and making stuff up in languages you don't know is worse. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:35, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Case in point: Old Persian was only written in Old Persian Cuneiform- never in the Arabic script, which was invented many centuries later, and wasn't used for Persian until a thousand years later. If you don't know this, you have no business working with Old Persian in anything but transliteration. If you don't know the script used by a language, don't guess- use the transliteration and add rfscript (or attention if you don't have enough information for rfscript). Chuck Entz (talk) 22:22, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Please see About Ancient Greek, which states " Tone/stress accents (i.e. the acute, circumflex, and grave accents) should be incorporated into the spelling of Ancient Greek words in all places, though they are not represented in transliterations." [underlining my emphasis] and peruse Ancient Greek romanization and pronunciation. The transliteration schemes for Ancient Greek employed here and almost everywhere else are , which means that the original Ancient Greek word cannot be adequately reconstructed from a transliteration. So yes, in future, please use if all you have to work from is a transliteration. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 00:56, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks for the heads-up and sorry for the honest mistake. Just so you don't think I'm making stuff up, the source is An Etymological Dictionary of Persian, English and other Indo-European Languages Vol 2, page 278. I see that it's on google books so here's a link to the entry if you want to look: Lacosta I'm noticing it also connected the word to English leg, lobster, lizard, and alligator. From now on RFscript it is for the romanizations. Djkcel (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Thanks. And FWIW, I had no doubt that you were editing in good faith. BTW, could you also cite that source in an entry's References section when you use it to add content in the future, please? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:03, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

 * No, please don't cite that self-published and unreliable source. --Vahag (talk) 17:17, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict) Now that I see your source, I can see that you mislabeled Persian as Old Persian. Persian is also known as Farsi, and is a modern language that uses to Arabic script. Old Persian might be part of what they call "Old Iranian", though I'm not at all sure what they mean by that. I notice that they give Pokorny p. 673 as a source for the Greek, but that reference doesn't mention the form in question- I suspect λαγαδων might be a Modern Greek word. You need to be more careful. Chuck Entz (talk) 17:32, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Thanks be to flyax: is the genitive plural form of  — in Modern Greek, I should add. :-)  — I.S.M.E.T.A. 23:16, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if λαγός is still related to the ancient word for kick. It seems to derive from the root that gave us languid (Latin langueo, languidis, etc) because of drooping. But it's still interesting to wonder if/how locusta ties into this. Djkcel (talk) 14:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Indeed, but I know scant little about reconstructed roots, so I couldn't say. Two notes, if I may:
 * There is no need to use when using  to mention Ancient Greek terms by their transliterations only. See this change of mine to the etymology you added for the Modern Greek ; if you include the transliteration using tr= and leave the first two unnamed parameters blank,  automatically generates a request for the native Ancient Greek script. Handy!
 * Vahagn Petrosyan (Vahag) raised doubts (in his post above timestamped: 17:17, 18 January 2014) about the reliability of your source. I would recommend that you speak to him about getting hold of some better sources for adding etymologies and reconstructed roots; he's told me that “[he] ha[s] good sources.”
 * Thanks for your co-operation. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

 * The etymology of Modern Greek beyond Ancient Greek should be discussed at the Ancient Greek page, . The best source for Ancient Greek etymology is Beekes 2010. Other good but somewhat outdated sources are Frisk and Chantraine. The last two are available on archive.org. The first one is available on pirate websites. --Vahag (talk) 18:49, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. Instead, please use as follows: instead of   type. The same template can be used for attested languages too:  is exactly the same as.

Hey. what is your source for the etymology? None of mine mention Provençal. — Ungoliant (falai) 20:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, got it from Word-formation in Provençal, Volume 2. Though the source is not actually sure if it was a direct borrowing from Provencal or if it just influenced the spelling. I'll change the edit to reflect that info. Djkcel (talk) 23:39, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The digraph lh was adopted from Provençal, but this doesn’t mean every word containing it was loaned from Provençal. It replaced the earlier digraph ll which was already present in many native words. — Ungoliant (falai) 23:42, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

scarabaeus
The code "mk" refers to modern (Slavic) Macedonian. —CodeCat 17:10, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Gotcha. Old Macedonian and OCS are basically interchangeable, so I'll make that switch and note it for future edits
 * I actually thought you meant Ancient Macedonian, the Greek-related language. —CodeCat 00:55, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

 * It's found in Aristotle's Historia Animalium, and Aristotle died in 322 BCE- more than a thousand years before OCS was first commited to writing. The Ancient Macedonian language is either related to or part of Ancient Greek, depending on which source you follow. The modern Macedonian language is a South Slavic language that has nothing to do with the older Hellenic one. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:18, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, this is making more sense now. That entry is citing Klein on the non-Greek suffix and Macedonian possibility and he must have meant ancient Macedonian rather than old Macedonian/OCS. Djkcel (talk) 02:26, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Djkcel. You made this edit, including the word, indicating that it is from the OED. Can you re-check that in your OED. I’m American, so I do not have the OED. Блугарину does not look possible to me. —Stephen (Talk) 20:31, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Certainly. According to OED, Bulgar originates...
 * from medieval Latin Bulgarus, from Old Church Slavic Blŭgarinŭ. Compare with bugger.

 * I think Old Bulgarian and OCS are interchangeable, but I'm not the best at spelling Cyrillic, especially since OED only provides transliterations. I almost certainly spelled those inflections wrong, but the transliteration is per OED.  Djkcel (talk) 22:57, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

ἐρείκη, RC:Proto-Celtic/wroikos, etymolgies
I don't see any explanation that would lead from to any of these descendants. Watkins is also not terribly reliable. — JohnC5 18:19, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was struggling a little with the connections they made as well. They put English briar, Greek ἐρείκη, RC:Proto-Celtic/wroikos, and Russian verst all in the same boat, e.g. as seen here Djkcel (talk) 03:07, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Interesting, so they're going for and not  as the origin. I'm not sure any of this is particularly convincing. What do you think? — JohnC5 03:16, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The Celtic (the source of Etymology 2 of briar, but not of Etymology 1)/🇨🇬 is thoroughly plausible, and 🇨🇬/🇨🇬, and I'm sure there are others, but trying to tie all those together to the same PIE root seems a bit ambitious, and their listing of reflexes of different stem consonants all jumbled together verges on misleading. By the way, I'm not so sure about their glosses: 🇨🇬 isn't heather, it's butcher's broom or knee holly, which is a short plant with fairly simple, straight stems and prickly "leaves" (technically cladophylls). Their inclusion of 🇨🇬 with the Celtic seems odd, especially since our etymology of 🇨🇬 says it comes from . I also don't see the connection with 🇨🇬- where does the "k" come from? The whole thing seems like a hastily-compiled afterthought that doesn't care too much about the details. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:05, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree. Possibilities, but just that.  Djkcel (talk) 17:56, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Can we write on our own talk pages? Of course we can. Cool. I will use this area to think aloud.

On using Wikipedia's info to edit Wiktonary

 * For one: it seems that the editors on wiktionary don't trust the editors on wikipedia. Many entries on here borrowing from wikipedia's sources seem to get reverted. Maybe wikipedia has less quality control.
 * Which is funny, because when such entries get reverted over here, I head over to wikipedia to correct the false information, then it pisses off the editors over there when I remove it. Djkcel (talk) 12:34, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm definitely not looking to Wikipedia for etymological information anymore. One of their hydronyms got me blocked here . Let me guess: "you should still use critical thinking skills to assess whether their information is garbage before putting it on Wiktionary!" Might as well just assume that it all is.

Hi. Do you remember where exactly in Johnson's dictionary you found the information you added to the etymology ? It would be very helpful. --WikiTiki89 20:50, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh man. That was so long ago that I don't have that book anymore. Though, I think rather than it being a Proto-Semitic inheritance it was rather borrowed directly from Akkadian 𒊭𒀊𒉺𒊒.  Several sources seem to agree with this.  Do you want me to go ahead and update it? Djkcel (talk) 18:44, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I mean that's a separate question. I was just trying to locate the Arabic word that you added, which was clearly misspelled, but I couldn't find it under any possible correct spelling in any dictionary. --WikiTiki89 18:47, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Knowing old me I probably borrowed it from Harper and didn't spell the transliteration correctly. Djkcel (talk) 18:48, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Djkcel, thank you for sourcing, but obscure etymological theories from 1819 are not reputable sources. Please try and use more modern works. Thanks. --Victar (talk) 14:12, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

I've also reverted your etymology for Paris. It's based on a single piece a work from 1899, based on an incorrect etymology from a Celtic dictionary from 1754. Please follow through more with sources, and again, using modern sources. --Victar (talk) 14:30, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Hey man, been a while! Thanks, yes, modern sources better, but help me define a cutoff date for modern.  e.g.   is from 1889 but I see it cited quite often as a reliable source here, same for Brechet's AN ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE (1882). Exceptions rather than the means? Djkcel (talk) 14:34, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Older sources on languages are often quite good. Older sources on etymology get progressively worse the further back you go. It also depends on which languages/families, since the progress made in those areas varies quite a bit: for instance, there were pretty decent early works on Indo-European from the 1830's, but there were still people advancing other theories for a few decades after that (stay away from Richard Valpy and John Bellenden Ker Gawler, for instance). I wouldn't trust anything before mid-nineteenth century for etymologies. Chuck Entz (talk) 15:31, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Chuck. Yep, everything before Rask and Grimm is mostly misguided junk not worth sifting through. The key is to a) know your sources and their credibility -- are they often cited on the project?, and b) follow the sources, who do they cite, and so on. In the 1754 source mentioned for Paris, where they're trying to erroneously create a PCelt root on the basis of 🇨🇬, which is not IE in origin, but Semitic. --Victar (talk) 16:04, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Etymologies
Please stop with no references and please do not  simply because you disagree with them. --Victar (talk) 23:00, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

 * In your first example, I didn't "invent" any etymology, I simply copied what was already stated for on .  So, if that's wrong, it needs to be removed from  as well.

 * In your second example, I didn't "delete" any etymology and I certainly see no "disagreement" in my edit. I simply took the origin a step further.  I can only find one source on Gothic, which is page 744 of , who derives it from 🇨🇬.  Did you not delete my edit because you disagree with this, or what?

 * Anyway thanks keep 'em coming. Djkcel (talk) 17:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Your ping didn't work because you didn't initially sign your reply.
 * You need to stop relying on simply copying etymologies from other entries without checking them. That isn't a carte blanche excuse for perpetuating bad etymologies, particularly when you do not source them.
 * and and two separate words with separate etymologies. You can't get 🇨🇬 from 🇨🇬 and adding such an etymology shows a lack of thoroughness and understanding, and that is my biggest concern with your etymologies, that you are working in languages simply you do not understand. --Victar (talk) 16:15, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, I read 751, and it agrees with the previous etymology, that the word is influenced by, not derived form. --Victar (talk) 17:12, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it may have just been the way he worded it. "ganar: to gain, to win [Goth. *ganan: to covet, desire, infl. in meaning by It. guadagnare & Fr. gagner, to earn, both from Grmc. *waithanjan: to hunt, plunder; to obtain food; to graze cattle.]" When he said "both from," I thought "both" meant the Gothic word and the Romance words.  He doesn't usually trace influences like that.
 * I didn't sign my reply on the talk page for, either, so maybe that's why you guys didn't respond. I was asking what the status on the discussion was. Sure, I shouldn't copy wrong information from other pages, but that doesn't change the fact that the bad information shouldn't be there in the first place. It leads to inconsistency across entries.  By the way, the PIE I copied from  wasn't sourced on that page, either, so make sure Leasnam knows. Hell, revert his edit with the same zeal you with which do to mine if you don't agree with it.

Thank you Djkcel for your many and nice etymologies! I do not know much, but I think there is a typo at στάχυς: στόνυε and οτόχος. They didn't sound familiar, I believe they could be and. I checked at perseus and at Hofmann, but I do not have your books. sarri.greek (talk) 19:00, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

 * I actually haven't been asked that before, but glad to see the entry more fleshed out. Djkcel (talk) 05:24, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * You've been warned many times about your erroneous etymologies. The fact that the notion of not working in areas unfamiliar to you is a foreign concept is troubling in and of itself. I also had to go back and rework this other from 2 days ago, in which you a) gave a completely nonsense PIE etymology, and b) took a widely unsupported etymology used for the Proto-Brythonic form and applied it to the PCelt form, which shows a complete lack of knowledge of both the subject and the sources. --  07:04, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Soooooo....it wasn't good? 😄
 * The second etymology is from The Reflexes of the Proto-Indo-European Laryngeals in Latin and I didn't corrupt any of the information found on page 36. Go tell Schrijver that he's wrong. (We're told to source here, but 98% of sources are unreliable, apparently) Djkcel (talk) 15:41, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The dubious *ɸēskos etymology -- which is from Pijnenburg, if you took the time to follow the sources, another thing I've had to bring up with you -- is the least of my complaints. It's your complete nonsense fabrications and ill-informed, reckless mistakes that I take the most umbrage with, all of which were exhibited is spades in this entry. -- 18:38, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Romance terms for "birch" and a question about a Proto-Italic edit
E.g. at bétula, boul, I have a couple of questions, some out of my own inexperience with Vulgar Latin/Romance languages in general (besides Classical latin) and some out of concern for how you came to these etymologies:

 * 1) How do the gender changes betulla (feminine) > *betūle (?) / *betūlus (masculine) > bétula (feminine) work? What gender, case, number and declension is *betūle? Can you be more specific with which VL. form which descendant is derived from?
 * 2) What about the gemination in betulla? Why is it only present in the reconstruction *betullum and if boul for example (one of the few entries which lists *betullum besides the other two reconstructions) derives from that specifically, why are the others listed? How about bedoll, or more interestingly (considering the La Spezia-Rimini Line) Italian betulla which you derive from a non-geminated source?

There's a lot more I'm wondering about these edits, but generally speaking I guess I'm wondering where you're getting this from & if you could be more specific.
 * Hey, . For the Vulgar Latin forms, I believe some of those feminine forms were already there from a previous editor - like when I made the edit to abedul, so I didn't take them out. The Diccionario de la lengua española seems to agree with the shift as well on their entry for abedul. It could be that they were just listing possible VL variants of the original Gaulish term. All of these Romance birch pages were a little scattered on the variants they listed  and they still don't agree - for instance the Galician entries  and  still need some work.

Then there's a second point, unrelated: your edits to kadamitas seem OK, but wouldn't the Proto-Italic term end in -os for the nominative singular, not -o? — Mnemosientje (t · c) 12:17, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * (Do however note that kadamitas has a suffix -tas while *kalamo(s) obviously doesn't, thus, the former is not inherited from the latter but simply derived for the purposes of our categorization and templates.) — Mnemosientje (t · c) 12:23, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * For my edit to 🇨🇬 I consulted de Vaan, who constructs 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 for the classical 🇨🇬. He actually leaves out the Old Latin intermediate, so I'm not entirely sure how he would reconcile the difference. He could have just left out the -s.  You're right about the inheriting due to the suffix - it's so easy to get used to the obvious fact that Latin inherits from Proto-Italic and forget about suffixes which can be added later on.  I appreciate you going through my edits and making suggestions, as well as being more constructive (or at the very least levelheaded) than some others here.

china
@Djkcel Am glad that this lexeme is now far more protected from further vandalism; although, without intending to be too sarcastic, if the etymology you presented were sourced from my etymologies, I should suggest that users were also protected from viewing any such of mine. A little etymological logic, which your source document seems to lack, would tell anyone with your intellect that the child's game name is clearly a derivative from the term for "pebble". I tried to make that clear on its talk page. Sorry to be so blunt and I do not wish to cause any offence; but some etymologies are quite exasperating! Kind regards: Andrew Andrew H. Gray 18:05, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Feel free to expound on that entry; two good sources, for Spanish words ' and ', both agree with the "chin" children speak derivation. It very well may be from an older word for "pebble" but they don't mention it. Thanks Djkcel (talk) 20:40, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bothering to reply; I did not think that you pioneered the content of its etymology. Kind regards: Andrew Andrew H. Gray 20:59, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

 * That is a sensible conclusion, considering that most readers are unlikely to want the old English forms or imaginary roots. Andrew H. Gray 12:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Andrew

Is currently how you're operating again, adding spurious etymologies with no sources? -- 14:39, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Then add sources, Djkcel! I don't know why this is so difficult for you. Also, add them inline; how do we know you're sourcing the etymology when you just throw it at the bottom of the page? Any source that isn't inline should really be under Further Reading, not References, because you're not citing anything. -- 19:30, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Dutch etymologies
These edits were seriously at odd with what etymological reference works state about these etymologies, and these aren't the only problematic edits on Dutch etymologies I've seen from you. Perhaps you should refrain from editing Dutch etymologies without consulting standard works. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  08:59, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 * *editing all etymologies. Most of your edits these days, again, lack any and all sources and your spurious etymologies brings down the quality of this project. -- 20:29, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

ON bolr, bulr
Re: diff. Where did you find PGmc "*bullas"? Thematic Germanic nouns and adjectives never end in -s in the nominative singular, and bulr/bolr is an i-stem anyway so it isn t likely to derive from an a-stem Germanic form. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 13:53, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Harper's entry for English bole gave the Proto-Germanic form and PIE root, citing Watkins' entry here, while (p. 740) lists 🇨🇬 only for .  Sadly Kroonen doesn't cover this term. DJ K-Çel (talk) 18:12, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. The PIE root seems plausible, but the Germanic form given ("bulas") in that link is not really usable — Mnemosientje (t · c) 12:08, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
