- This is not "Croatian spelling". It's a spelling in an obsolete orthography of one of the 19th century standards, and the 1941-45. Stop marking it as a "Croatian spelling", because it's not in use anymore. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 20:36, 24 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Hrvatski jezični portal is a compilation of several comprehensive dictionaries that are up-to-date with modern standard Croatian ortography. They do not list the spelling sviet. However, I did notice that you've added sviet to French Wiktionary as well, where they kept it under the "Croatian" label. Why don't you relocate to French Wiktionary for good? I'm sure that our liberal-minded French colleagues would be most delighted to have you there, sharing your knowledge, convictions and all. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 20:43, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

The word kamen did not have jat-reflex alternation in the final syllable. The form kami represents and archaism, of Common Slavic, with jery */y/ regularly yielding Štokavian /i/. It is by no means an Ikavian reflex. The reflex is also found in derived formations such as kamik, but not *kamin! That form, as well as the allegedly Ijekvian variant kamien, is I'm afraid purely a product of your imagination. Unfortunately you have again succumbed to your old habit of creating fake words. Goodbye. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 20:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
