User talk:Cornucopia~enwiktionary

Thanks for stopping by. I'm rarely around, but you could leave a message anyway.

Transwiki:Bahman
Transwiki is not a move, it is a copy. And cross-wiki redirects don't work anyway. There is no reason why the article can't be expanded on the pedia; that is what the template there says. But we may very well want to add the definition here as well. Robert Ullmann 12:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't get it,... why would one want to copy an article from an encyclopedia to a dictionary when the article doesn't have dictionary content? -- Cornucopia 13:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * What do you mean? Perfectly good Persian word, with definition. Why wouldn't we want it? Robert Ullmann 13:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * um, have you read Vohu Manah? And,... are all hypostatic names suitable for transwikification? -- Cornucopia 13:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Modern Persian and Avestan both have language codes (fa and ave), any attested term is a valid entry here. Mind you we would probably move it to بهمن ... Robert Ullmann 13:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Methinks, we have to decide where we are going to be doing the talking. (we could also do it on IRC if you like) :::As for being the name of a month in Persian,... well, its not quite the "name of a month", its a month dedicated to a particular divinity, after whom the month is then named. -- Cornucopia 13:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, regarding this; do you have any sources that confirm these three senses of being cognates? --Ivan Štambuk 18:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Re your comment on my talk page. Yes, of course. Besides this sourced en.wiki section, and this Hans-Peter Schmidt article in the Encyclopaedia Iranica, you can find a summary of preceding linguistic analysis of the word and its semasiological developments in Ilya Gershevich's Avestan Hymn to Mithra, Cambridge UP, 1959. -- Cornucopia 01:26, 14 April 2008 (UTC) ps: I note you know of Dbachmann, in which case you might wish to get his take on it. [cf. also edit history of the above-mentioned en.wiki article]. :)


 * You're correct. Also, Sanskrit is Persian borrowing, not a cognate. I suggest you redo your edit, but this time without losing the Persian sense of Arabic borrowing of "dowry, dower". Very interesting word indeed ^_^ --Ivan Štambuk 05:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Cornucopia. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cornucopia~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:42, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
