OE pronunciation
Hi. I have rolled back your changes to pronunciation in accordance with the system in standard use here. The second sound of OE diphthongs may well have been more like a schwa, but we really have no way of confirming that. Also note that many OE textbooks (including Marsden 2004, which is in front of me) do indeed give /e:o/ as the pronunciation of OE ēo (along with ‘full’ forms of all the other diphthongs). If you could go along with this standard it will be much appreciated. Thanks, Widsith 16:52, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

PIE Roots
Hey, I just wanted to take a second to say thanks for the work with these appendices. It's fairly lonely in the Ancient section of Wiktionary, and it's good to see more folks taking an interest. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 00:35, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Atelaes, I am amazed at the amount of good work that's been done here, so I'm glad to help where I can! -Dr. Elwin Ransom 20:30, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
