 * Note this kind of alterations: –,  – . And many more. Regard Orthowiki: Церковнославянизмы, there are a lot more ways to see doublets, you should reflect it at least in the description.

 * Do you know if there's a template similar to but without automatic transliteration? It's frankly annoying to have to write   everytime. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 15:30, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * No, but is fine enough for Russian mostly, innit. You could make a wrapper for l with tr=- but dude, these are just five additional signs. What I would need is a template that does transliterate but not link, as for شُنَارَى‏ (šunārā) in . Palaestrator verborum sis loquier 🗣 15:41, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer to use, if only because we wouldn't have any memory overload, but the problem is that it doesn't redirect you to the right section, and that (relatedly) it's not enough for the orange links gadget to work.
 * Yes, I know five characters is not a lot, but having to add parameters to suppress a behaviour is always annoying; that's why I wanted to remove the automatic text from, for example.
 * I see that Erutuon is working on a doublets table at Appendix:English doublets/table, though; maybe that table could be devised so that there be no translit. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 15:53, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * That table template already doesn't add transliteration. It might even work as-is on this page. — Eru·tuon 21:22, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Hello. It's not really important, but causes a module error. Could you look into it? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 13:02, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was the wrong module error. A different, more informative one was intended. ^.^ — Eru·tuon 13:24, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ahah, thanks, but what I meant was: it would be nice to be able to write " (“mansion”, plurale tantum)". --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 13:47, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Unresolved cases

 * from 🇨🇬 / 🇨🇬: -
 * There are a lot of words not obeying the Potebnya-Havlik rule, most of them might have been influenced by Russian Church Slavonic practice of vocalizing yers in prefixes and suffixes (e. g. отчество vs. отечество), which is in its turn tentatively connected to liturgical singing practices (where all yers were continued to be sung until ~17th century, and still are by the Old Believers).

Sorting
Hello. The current sorting is on the second column (the inherited Russian terms). Do you think it would be possible to add sorting on the first and third columns as well? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 14:26, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, I notice there is a module error when I'm trying to input 🇨🇬. This is probably due to the brackets. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 14:34, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, this particular case is solved, and we can use redirects anyway if others crop up. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 14:35, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Done. Yeah, parentheses mark qualifiers, so the code would have to be rewritten if you wanted parentheses in the terms. — Eru·tuon 18:29, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

 * is a sort superlative of, which is an archaic doublet of . The suffix (not a very productive one) has this meaning. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:30, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

угль
I would question counting угль as a doublet of уголь, unless there are sources that say so about this particular word, since they always know better (and since that surely may be true). Forms with non-syllabified final sonorants were possible in poetry even for explicitly non-Church Slavonic nouns: one finds вымысл for вымысел with вы- unknown to South Slavic, or even пепл for пепел entirely contradictory to Church Slavonic, which has пепелъ, /e/ isn’t from *ь at all here and the original non-analogical genitive was пепела, or in genitive plural one finds оглобль and сабль, which do not exist in CS and so on. It is very conceivable (I believe unquestionable) that they owe to Church Slavonic influence; nevertheless, a different, non-lexical kind of influence. And they do not owe to it alone. They also reflect morphological levelling, very common in Russian in such cases: it is exactly by this kind of levelling that you get proscribed yet very common найм for наём and it’s by levelling that you get non-etymological пепл for пепел. Guldrelokk (talk) 01:51, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I wasn't sure about this one (I don't have any source that says it's from OCS). I've removed it. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 08:31, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

раз-
Another problematic one is раз-. It is a loan, but it’s an orthographic loan. Раз- isn’t only written so when unstressed for no reason: all р{а,о}з- are pronounced [roz-] in Northern dialects regardless of how they are written. Many words now written with раз- go back to Proto-Slavic and have East Slavic reflexes of everything, and of course you can’t say that the prefix is different in раздать and роздал. I believe this should be reflected in some way. Guldrelokk (talk) 02:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've removed it too; the case is not compelling enough to go in the table. We should add some notes to the раз-/роз- entries.
 * If you have other objections don't hesitate! --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 09:58, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello again. I see you've removed the  line; was it wrong? I'll have to edit the etymologies of the entries as well then. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 21:28, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * No, it was correct, but I thought that since  is already listed there is no need in listing them again with a prefix. However, since the Church Slavonic one’s meaning is idiosyncratic, may be that does make sense, I don’t know. After all, *врати́ть isn’t a word in Russian, all the prefixal derivations were borrowed independently. Guldrelokk (talk) 22:18, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * How do you explain the in ? Could it be an orthographic loan from OCS when the OCS word is actually ? --WikiTiki89 22:39, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * There are not a few cases of vowel reduction being reflected in spelling:, , , , and so on. They typically arose when speakers of dialects with akanye didn’t have a clue what to write in words they only knew from their vernacular, and it’s the case here: one can’t find this word in Church Slavonic books, with a metathesis that is, the usual correspondence ла ~ оло doesn’t work either, so one had to choose the vowel arbitrarily. Guldrelokk (talk) 23:05, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Then why is it still when stressed, as for example, in ? --WikiTiki89 23:12, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * is the plural of, a diminutive of : since it is obsolete and because of the hand game, the folk-etymological association is natural, but morphologically is not derivable from.
 * There are cases like, however, when the vowel was incorrectly restored in speech as well – it was never accented in the original paradigm, so again, no clues. Guldrelokk (talk) 00:32, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I believe adding разлив/розлив and разница/розница with a comment resuming the discussion above would be advantageous. One could also mention розыскной, an orthographic variant which, despite being non-standard (the orthographic norm is разыскной), is extemely widespread and, in fact, one to two orders of magnitude (!) more frequent in Google Ngrams and the National Corpus (NKRYa). Ain92 (talk) 19:42, 6 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Why?—Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 21:38, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * It’s not a real revert, I just separated the adjective: *melčьnъ is a distinct entry in ESSJa, and also I think the cases when doublets acquire different meaning are the most interesting ones. Guldrelokk (talk) 21:45, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * OK. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 21:47, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Latin
Common Slavic had a good amount of Latin and early Romance loanwords (direct and through Germanic), some of which later acquired doublets in Russian, for example:
 * коляда́ (< Slav. *kolęda), кале́нды
 * доска́ (< Slav. *dъska), диск
 * лочи́га (< Slav. *loťika), лату́к
 * конопля́ (< Slav. *konoplja), канна́бис
 * це́сарь, царь (< Slav. *cěsarjь/cьsarjь), ке́сарь, Це́зарь

Another source of doublets are modern literary borrowings from Latin and New Romance. Guldrelokk (talk) 03:03, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
