User talk:Ewithu

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 on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; 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.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! -- Apisite (talk) 21:57, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ewithu, thank you for adding audio files, all of them sound great. The file titled "önmagam" sounds more like "önmaga" to me, though. I could change the example in Appendix:Hungarian pronunciation, but the file name also contains "önmagam". Would you mind correcting it? Thanks. Panda10 (talk) 21:59, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oh! Thank you for cathing that! I don't know how it slipped past me, I thought I said önmagam haha

I'll fix it right away! Ewithu (talk) 22:03, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

You have renamed the page, changing "ԓ" to "ԯ". What were your considerations? Does it stated somewhere in Wiktionary? (WT:About Khanty)

While naming the page I've used 2013 version of alphabets . They do not include "ԯ" for Kazym & Surgut dialects at all. Nyuhn (talk) 10:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Nyuhn

Hello there nice to meet you!

I should've linked the page in the edit, sorry about that. It's on the talk page of About Khanty, where it was decided to use the descender version of the l instead the hooked variant. Which is still valid to use, since there was no consensus on which is the official script. You can see on the Khanty Word "Khanty Jazk" newspaper that they even use the descender type of n instead the hooked variant aka ӈ.

I also would like to use the hooked variants of these letters, it makes it look way better. We could make an argument to use one over the other if we have new perspective to bring to the already closed one over at the talk page of About Khanty. Or use my way, which is to include both, but use the descender type in the header and display the hooked letters in the alternative spelling section. Ewithu (talk) 11:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nice to meet you too!

I think we should be able to use both variants as headers.

The discussion does not prohibit using ԓ for Khanty entries. I don't see any sourced evidence of ԯ being "normative" or "canonical" glyph for /ɬ/. And we both see that ԓ indeed used to represent /ɬ/ at least equally with ԯ.

Also I've started WT:About Khanty, for ease of discovering such discussions. Nyuhn (talk) 16:19, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

That is true, but also this discussion was before we started using the newer dictionaries for Kazym and Surgut which uses the ԓ instead of the ԯ. And now that I'm on PC, I can finally link the Khanty newsletter I was talking about, which uses the tailed variant of l (I said it uses the descender my bad), and even in the wikipedia article of these letters it truly says that these three are used as variants for display purposes, which is quiet frustrating to use when trying to make it uniform.

Thank you for creating the page btw! Ewithu (talk) 16:51, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
