See its documentation page for its purpose. Normally the cognates are listed in the ===Etymology=== section, e.g. "From Proto-Semitic *blah, cognate with Hebrew x, Aramaic y, Akkadian z...". --Ivan Štambuk 19:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

-lic

The English suffix -like does not come from Old English. As the OED puts it: ‘the words containing this suffix are compounds of LIKE a. and adv., in the senses in which these words govern a dative or are followed by an adj. (see LIKE a. 1b, LIKE adv. 1, 3). The compounds so formed not unfrequently resemble in sense the derivatives formed with -lik(e, ME. dial. form of -LY1, -LY2, but the two formations are entirely distinct’.

This might be useful for you. Example in English {{suffix|read|able}} giving (deprecated template usage) read + (deprecated template usage) -able. Mglovesfun (talk)

-tion

In Romance languages and their derivatives, most words and suffixes derive from the ablative form, which superceded the nominative in daily use. --EncycloPetey 19:46, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Quebec pronunciation

About half of the Quebec pronunciations you're adding are wrong. It is a difficult subject because there is no standard here in Quebec, pronunciation depends on age, location, social class, etc. I don't hear people pronouncing /a.ni.var.saer/ very often, for example, so I don't think it is wise to say that it is the "Quebec pronunciation" of anniversaire.

Alright, I'll stop for now. --wikitiki89 03:52, 27 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
