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 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.

Latin spelling curiosity

In an edit comment a couple years ago on "crustulum", you said "it is extremely unlikely that the first u in this word was long by nature The Elementary Latin Dictionary is probably just marking syllabic length". I'm curious about the difference between syllabic length and vowel length as I can't find anything about it online! Unless you meant to say "syllabic stress", which would clear things up too :)

Well, Aleksavo, how can I put it? Let me just say that the entire edifice of both Greek and Latin poetry is based on syllable length, also known as syllable quantity. You might want to start by reading this article: w:Prosody (Latin), especially the section on Quantity. Pasquale (talk) 20:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
