Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Need advice on Modern Germanic

Hi,

This is the first time I've really posted anything on Wiktionary, I mostly just lurk (although I do want to improve the Proto-Germanic entries!) around, but I stumbled upon your Modern Germanic page, and having a huge interest in Indo-European languages, particularly Proto-Germanic, as well as experience and even gem-pro-1 fluency (I know some basic words), I made several modern words. However, I do want to ask you a question, and that is if I could possibly, instead of making calques and borrowings, I could trace back PIE roots and make a fictional PGmc word?

Also, I notice in things like Greek and Sanskrit that their predecessor proto-languages don't have entries. Could I reconstruct the word in said proto-language from PIE via. sound laws on Wikipedia and make a new page if I post words with descendants, or do I have to take a reconstructed word from a book and post a source?

Þek þankō,
