Proto-Indo-European

Hello. It seems you are copying content from the PIE root pages and moving them to the derivative pages. For example, you created *bʰódeti based on the information in *bʰed-. It is a bad idea. The exact structure of many of these derivatives is uncertain. Because of this and because they have only a few descendants it is more economical to treat them at the root page. Next, you are leaving the references out. Finally, you are not acknowledging the users who worked on these derivatives at the root page. Vahag (talk) 09:52, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree with you that there should be a policy on words derived from roots, and that I have left the references out. For these reasons, I will cease creating new pages.
However, I do not understand why acknowledging the users who worked on these derivatives is needed, and if so, how they may be credited. Is there a page covering this topic? Ελίας (talk) 17:14, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
See w:Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. We are of course Wiktionary, not Wikipedia, but the same principles apply. Vahag (talk) 17:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Biblical Hebrew pronunciation of כל

In a recent edit, you changed the pronunciation of Biblical Hebrew כָּל from /kol/ to /kaːl/. May I ask your reasons for doing so? I don't think that word ever had an /a/ type vowel? – Pinnerup (talk) 16:24, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tiberian /ɔ/ is never derived from Biblical /o/, althouɡh this could be a marɡinal case. But since it is pronounced /a/ in sephardi tradition and an akkadian coɡnate "kalum" exists, I think it is clear that this word oriɡinally had two pronunciations. Ελίας (talk) 16:34, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
