Polish Etydates
any date before 1500 is Old Polish and you shouldn't add it to the main Polish entry as Old Polish is a different L2. Please also see
 * That's utter nonsense. There's absolutely no rule that says you can't or shouldn't mention attestation dates for ancestor languages in etymologies. That wouldn't even be the case if the Old Polish entry did already exist. But in the words I've edited, such an entry doesn't exist at all! If you create the Old Polish entries, you're free to move the etymology there. Just make sure to add the "dercat" template in the Modern Polish entry. 88.64.225.53 23:10, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Imagine adding Latin attestations for modern Spanish. It makes no sense. Especially since we have multiple children for Old Polish. It's not nonsense. Vininn126 (talk) 23:15, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

The sense "knife, dagger" was not based on the German word, but on the Icelandic word. Leasnam (talk) 17:25, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * According to Hjalmar Falk: "Altnordische Waffenkunde" (1914, p. 124) this sense is only attested once in Old Norse and another copy of the same text has tygilkníf instead of dálk. Falk says it's the inherited word for "fibula" at most in form, but with the sense of the German word, and calls it a likely anachronism. Of course, in order to judge this we'd need info on the age of the specific manuscript (which I don't have). -- So yeah, maybe I shouldn't have deleted the sense altogether, but it is at least doubtful and should be labelled as such. 88.64.225.53 21:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
