Talk:avvlì

Requesting either an etymology or a source for this one; haven't dug up anything in Greek and will poke around some more in Sicilian/Neapolitan/Arberesh/Italian but can't find the word anywhere else either.

If it's a valid word, transcription (going off established assumptions of β as v, no breathing marks) is likely αββλὶ. Elliott Dunstan (talk) 16:27, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Update: with some help from @avramargariti on Twitter, possible etymology is "αὐλή • (aulḗ) f (genitive αὐλῆς); first declension" from Ancient Greek, especially since in Modern Greek it's apparently pronounced 'avli' -> αυλή • (avlí) f (plural αυλές) -> both mean courtyard.

 * avvlì, ammài, ...: " "
 * With Italiot Greek being treated as a separate lang with own code grk-ita, "el" is wrong and label "Italiot Dialect" unnecessary. In this case the label could simply be removed.
 * σόνο/sono: el term as synonym
 * άντρα/andra: " " with link to an el entry
 * That's an unusual link - is it correct?
 * Does άντρα/andra have all the meanings of άνδρας or only some?
 * @This, that and the other I see you closed this discussion in April 2022 but didn't say why. Have these issues been addressed, or are they irrelevant or just misunderstandings? (I've re-opened the discussion.) &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 18:34, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @ExcarnateSojourner all the entries look to have been fixed since this request was opened. Under the first dot point, the entries are now under the Italiot Greek language. The second dot point has been converted to a pair of lemmas lined by Greek/Latin spelling in the headword line. The final entry has also been repaired.

 * Great, thank you. I've re-closed the discussion accordingly. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 17:38, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
