Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:


 * Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. The most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
 * If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
 * If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Rfv etymology
Are you going to create discussions for the etymologies you added the tag to? Otherwise, they'll probably just be ignored and forgotten. —Rua (mew) 19:54, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Creating an account
Long Island IP, would you mind creating an account? With no reliable means of contact and edit history tracking, we're often inclined to revert IP edits with extreme prejudice. -- 20:53, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Requesting again that you create an account. -- 19:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Victar: Is that meant to imply that you won't respond to my objections to your recent edit unless I use an account to make such objections? — 69.120.69.252 20:15, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * An aside: In this edit, you claim that I added the alts. I did not. Moreover, you imply that I have been doing so for some time. I have not. It is not the first time that you have misunderstood my edits or falsely attributed a change to me. I respect you, so I will continue to assume that the accusations have been in good faith. — 69.120.69.252 17:40, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

явѣ or ꙗвѣ ?
In this edit you added the Old Bulgarian (if you prefer, OCS, but I avoid this term) adverb явѣ ("manifestly"). What is your source for this spelling? The Bulgarian Etymological Dictionary lists (vol. IV, p. 579) ꙗвѣ or ѣвѣ, but neither явѣ nor авѣ. Bogorm converſation 07:42, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * A careless mistake on my part. I just didn't have ⟨ꙗ⟩ on my keyboard and forgot to replace ⟨я⟩ (which isn't normally used in OCS / Old Bulgarian at all) with the proper letter. Unfortunately Indoeuropeanist literature tends to using avoid Cyrillic and rather transcribes Slavic languages phonetically. — 69.120.69.252 08:14, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I understand. I just added the Bulgarian descendant. I remembered also Russian наяву, but am not sure if it can be listed under ꙗвѣ., What are your thoughts? Bogorm converſation 08:21, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The Russian descendent is . Yes and  are related. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:29, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
