Reconstruction talk:Proto-Albanian/strungā

RFD discussion: October 2020–August 2021
Here's an example of why I'm against a lot of Proto-Albanian -- they simply often lack a solid etymology and you can derive them half a dozen ways. Case in point,. -- 21:35, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. – This is a bad example since the 2 IE roots given (if they're not in fact the same root) are practically identical in form and meaning, so definitely not a half-dozen ways. And if your problem is the IE part of the etymology, that doesn't justify removing the PAlb reconstruction, especially since it's reconstructed from the modern word (not from IE).

 * Addendum: Oh, I see what you've done now. You added several century-old theories about the etymology under the shtrungë page (not the PAlb page) in order the create the appearance of debate around the word's etymology. That's quite a stretch. Torvalu4 (talk) 23:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * LOL. 1. WT:AGF. 2. the first etymology I list is the one prefered by Orel, which is an internal deviation, not warranting a PA entry. isn't even a citable reconstruction. 3. Meyer is the source of like, atleast, 50% of Albanian etymologies, so if you're going to go around blindlessly deleting Meyer etymologies, like you did on, that would be quite inadvisable. The same goes for Barić, which you also deleted, and is, mind you, later than the one this PA entry is based on. --  04:09, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Most of that wasn't about the PAlb page, the supposed subject of your delete request. The only thing that's pertinent is #2, which still doesn't justify deletion. As for citability, I seriously doubt that's a requirement (at least based on all the uncited reconstructions I've seen in other langs). All I know is you provided a citation for the etymology on the shtrungë page. Torvalu4 (talk) 04:51, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Every element of the etymology of shtrungë is relevant. Stop gaslighting. Any word with no cognates and of dubious origin shouldn't have an ancestral entry based off of it. Period. Full stop. -- 05:24, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Editors should cease reconstructing terms arsewise, like claiming a form from an even more uncertain form which latter is partially claimed on the former’s basis. Like the connection of the Germanic term for mistletoe to made no sense and I had to move it from  to  because there is no proof for ⟨h⟩ and there is a plethora of better derivation possibilities – even more in this case, there is apart from many more possible “Proto-Albanian” forms – a dozen ways, even some one does not even realize, noting the commonness of the sounds – no reason for “Proto-Albanian” as opposed to Dacian, Thracian, Moesian, Gepidic or whatever there was also spoken more east of Albania, especially since the alleged descendants are only Balkan Romance.
