Deriving From the Same Language
der, inh, bor, etc. should only be used when the language in question is treated by Wiktionary as a different language. That's because their main purpose is to add the entry to a derivation category, which makes no sense if a language is basically deriving from itself.

For instance, molybdaenum is itself New Latin, so Category:Latin terms derived from New Latin, which was added by la, would be deceptive. Any such categories would have to be deleted, anyway, because the category templates are programmed to display a module error in those cases.

If you want to show the language name, just use cog or its synonym noncog, which don't categorize.

Actual corn
What does "actual corn" mean here? Maize? AFAIK buckwheat is an actual corn in the (older) sense of the word, so clarification would be helpful. Thanks! - -sche (discuss) 20:37, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I thought that it was unambiguous in context, but it seems actually it wasn't) Fixed in both Latin and Cyrillic spellings. BTW, if you are interested in the etymology of this word, check a good review on pp. 23–25 here. Ain92 (talk) 21:31, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The rest of the sentence is also questionable, "introduced to Croatia from Southern Europe around 1611[1]," because Croatia is southern from my perspective and because Albania and Ottoman Turkish in the Balkans at the time(?) are so close I suspect it would be a semantic loan into an undefinable area anyway, before becoming fully integrated into the language. Accepting what Chuck said in the previous thread about language taxonomy and seeing there are sources I don't doubt that the etymology is essentially correct. I even understand that "south" is a matter of perspective. And I have confused corn before, too! I'm just saying, since it is relevant to my interests, that the etymology so far leaves room for speculation. 2A00:20:6055:790B:2949:12A4:4BCC:1E81 12:45, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
