https://ro.wiktionary.org/wiki/cucur%C4%83 ^ This is nonsense, ignore it. The Romanian form is from Latin. ÞunoresWrǣþþe (talk) 15:12, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, but what makes you deem it as "nonsense"? You provide no alternative sources. Here's one for you, it's from DER (1958-1966) (N.B. in Romanian) "Tolbă de săgeți. Ngr. ϰούϰουρον, din lat. cucurum (Philippide, II, 710; REW 4790; DAR), împrumut literar din sec. XVI, fără circulație reală. Cf. alb. kukurë (Meyer 211), bg. kukur (Conev 71), it. còccano (Battisti, II, 991)." Apparently a literary loan without any viable circulation. --Robbie SWE (talk) 19:07, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * My source is quite clear. ÞunoresWrǣþþe (talk) 23:15, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Here's a hint. Is there a big section dedicated to references on the page? Yes. And I'll ask you to stop reverting my edits. Using a non-English source to confuse people ia already dubious, but so is claiming Romanian derived the word from Greek. And my Romansch is pretty rusty, but from what I can tell, your precious source literally says it came into Latin first, then Greek and the Romance languages separately. Meaning I'm right.ÞunoresWrǣþþe (talk) 23:49, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The reason why I didn't provide a translation is because you'd probably accuse me of misleading people by translating it myself – citing the source as it is, gives you the objective freedom to translate it using any online translator of your choosing. Now back to the issue: you have to have a basic understanding of the Romanian language and its history in order to make assumptions. The source states that the term entered Romanian from Modern Greek in the 16th century, which coincides with the Phanariot period in Romanian society. Hence, the term – regardless of final source of origin, which by the way is dubious in itself (see this Latin citation) – probably entered Romanian from Greek, not from Medieval Latin. Taking this into consideration, I have no other choice but to revert your edit yet again. --Robbie SWE (talk) 07:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
