Thread:User talk:Rua/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/grēfijô/reply

It seems completely pointless to include so many reconstructions when one will do. The standard Old Saxon form would be *grāvio or *grāfio. The sources don't have anything to do with it, as we don't blindly follow sources on Wiktionary. For attested terms, we follow the attestations, and for unattested terms, we follow what is known about the language's sound laws to reconstruct a term.

Judging by your edits at verwysing, I'm guessing that you are still relatively new to editing Wiktionary, but are experienced with Wikipedia. Wiktionary, in general, works quite differently from Wikipedia especially regarding sourcing. It would be a good idea to take things easy for a while and not take corrections to your edits personally, but instead learn from them how to become a better Wiktionarian. It can take a while to get accustomed to our way of doing things. For reading material, WT:WFW may be useful.
