Talk:ρόδα

source for the etymology?
The etymology is possible, however, where is the prove that Venetics of all gave reason to borrow their wheel term. Citation needed! Moreover, it is irritating that the Greek wikipedia article about "wheel" does not even content the expression ρόδα, however, if we google this word, we get pictures over pictures from modern wheels. Who can solve this riddle? HJJHolm (talk) 08:56, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

τροχός
Is the in dictionaries offered (obviously primary) translation for wheel, τροχός a synonym or whate else?? HJJHolm (talk) 07:34, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

hello, "TheDaveRoss" from Vermont, Could You p l e a s e (!!!) eventually (!) give a source for your changes in the article "ῥoda" in wiktionary. Without a clearname, every idiot could have written that, and without a source it is worth nothing, you can write everything. BTW, it was unneccessary to cancel my update completely.

 * the change to etymology seems to have come from you, I just updated a template via bot. - TheDaveRoss  13:09, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, all I was doing was adding the theoretical Venetic form if it existed. I personally find the claim that it came from Venetic very unlikely or at least hard to prove. — JohnC5 05:12, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You mean, for "ρόδα". The el.wiktionary also derives this term from Venetic, again, and regrettably, without giving any scientific source. However, the phonology is a strong indicator.HJJHolm (talk) 08:42, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Babiniotis gives the etym from Venetian (no info on Venetic which I've remmed out pro tem.) — Salt  marsh . 05:45, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
