Reconstruction talk:Proto-Brythonic/ɨnnọg

RFD discussion: September–December 2021
So far as I can tell, the only cited reflex (Welsh *ynnog "crow") does not exist. The cited "University of Wales Proto-Celtic Word-list" entry for 🇨🇬 does not list a Welsh reflex, instead only citing 🇨🇬. *ynnog is not in the GPC, and I have not been able to find any evidence of such a word in other sources or from internet searches; I have also tried searching for the expected historic forms based on my (imperfect) understanding of Old and Middle Welsh orthography (*innauc and *ynnawc respectively), also without results. I'm not sure how it happened, but this seems to be a reconstruction accommodating a ghost word. ShellfaceTheStrange (talk) 21:56, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The person who created this was blocked for making stuff up (and being a real pain in the netiquette interacting with others). I can't comment on the substance (maybe  would have something to say), but the scenario you describe sounds like just the sort of thing they would do. Chuck Entz (talk) 23:16, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I see, that's certainly concerning - I will have to keep an eye out for problematic reconstructions of similar origin in the future. ShellfaceTheStrange (talk) 10:46, 26 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete; it's a figment of UtherPendragon's warped imagination. —Mahāgaja · talk 07:35, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Ugh, still dealing with User:UtherPendrogn's edits to this day. I would say to delete the PC entry as well because there's no good evidence to support such a confident reconstruction. -- 17:13, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure he got it from Gwaenynog (Gwaynynog, Waunynnog, Waynynock, Wenennok, ...). There might be some book that claims it a cognate of OI, but I've yet to find one. --  17:22, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
