Talk:euwi

RFV discussion: May 2016–January 2018
Lasch gives this word as ewi, which is proved correct by the reflexes later recorded. This form on the other hand is not clearly reflected in later reflexes, nor do I see how it would come into existence. Korn &#91;kʰũːɘ̃n&#93; (talk) 18:11, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Ten minutes of futile navigation attempts and two search engines later, he only lists the word with a single consonant. Korn &#91;kʰũːɘ̃n&#93; (talk) 01:10, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Two observations:


 * 1) The etymology for euwi is copypasted from the entry at eowu, with "Old Saxon ewwi" replaced by "Old English eowu", but otherwise unchanged (notice the position of Dutch in both).
 * 2) Philippa's dictionary at etymologiebank.nl (here) mentions both ewi and euwi, which, if I'm not mistaken, should be sufficient attestation for a less-documented-language term according to CFI, though one could quibble about the lack of a list of accepted sources at WT:AOSX.

 * I wonder if euwi is a typo for 'ouwi' on etymologiebank. For one, I think 'euwi' violates Old Saxon phonotactics (lack of umlaut) and for the other Old Saxon 'euwi' would become Middle Low German 'uwe', which isn't recorded. Korn &#91;kʰũːɘ̃n&#93; (talk) 18:09, 13 November 2016 (UTC)


 * RFV-failed (a reference mentions the word, but there is concern that it is a typo), moved to ewi. - -sche (discuss) 19:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
