Reconstruction talk:Pictish/ᚚᚓᚅ

RFD discussion: April 2021–December 2022
Reconstructed on the basis of some Scottish place names, but there's no reason they have to be specifically Pictish as opposed to some form of Brythonic. —Mahāgaja · talk 13:10, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree! I had no idea until now that anyone was trying to include Pictish in Wiktionary: it seems a bit of a crazy endeavour, but certainly doesn't seem appropriate for this word... Alarichall (talk) 11:16, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There are lots of other terms like this now in Category:Pictish lemmas. The whole thing strikes me as a mess. As intrigued as I am and as much as I'd love to see more on Pictish, we probably should RFV/RFD for most if not all of them. Each one seems to rely on a single author's work, not least due to the fact that there's not complete scholarly consensus about what Pictish even was or where it was spoken. And I agree the Pictish status of the reconstructions is questionable. For comparison, the reconstructed Pre-Greek vocabulary is arguably more cohesive and well-defined, and, like the toponyms in question with respect to Pictish, it is tentatively associated with a language known to have existed: Minoan—as well as also largely limited to a single author, yet we have no entries for it. — 69.120.66.131 09:10, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
