Mongoose rhyme
Mongoose is stressed on the first syllable, so that syllable must be included in the rhyme. 13:28, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I will note that next time adding a rhyme word. Nayrb Rellimer (talk) 15:45, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Template:grc-IPA
Can you please not substitute this with the old template? Instead, work with the Ancient Greek editors to fix the template. —CodeCat 01:54, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

*Hā́pš
Nayrb, *s also became *š in PII before *bʰ and *p. Compare 🇨🇬. More importantly though, you changed a bluelink to a redlink. In such cases, please address your concerns to entry itself, and not simply the link. Thanks. --Victar (talk) 13:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Egyptian vowel reconstruction in ḏbt
Hello. I noticed that at you reconstructed the second vowel in the word as /a/ based on ‘evidence from Proto-Semitic morphology’, with further reference to. Could you elaborate on what evidence you’re drawing from, how it applies to Egyptian, and what comparison you’re drawing with ? Regarding the latter question, the second vowel in is the vowel of the feminine ending, forming a feminine singular perfective active participle from the verb ; on the other hand,  is not suffixed with  at all, and the final t in the word is part of the (masculine) root. So I’m a bit puzzled by what comparison you mean given that the morphology of the two words is completely different. Thanks! — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 22:52, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I guess I wasn't paying attention to the grammatical gender in the entry. If the noun were feminine, then an /a/ vowel would have been reconstructed in the second syllable.Rigognos Molinarios (talk) 23:41, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks. (And sorry if I was a bit brusque above.) Even for feminine nouns, though, /a/ isn’t guaranteed to be the vowel preceding the final in Egyptian; Coptic and loanword evidence makes clear, for example, that  had /i/ and  had /u/. Semitic comparison isn’t reliable in this case. — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 00:17, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Strange sequence /ɝɹ/
Hello, Rigognos Molinarios: I am a little puzzled by this entry: https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=worry&diff=prev&oldid=34556799 I have never seen the sequence /ɝɹ/ before. Is it redundant? Greetings, --Adelpine (talk) 17:26, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

I wasn't sure how to indicate the r-colored vowel in this word. It is clearly distinct from the vowel /ɜ/ in the RP pronunciation of bird, but the word is still perceived as two syllables. Rigognos Molinarios (talk) 22:44, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * The following paragraph taken from a paper, https://www.e-csd.org/journal/view.php?number=579 says


 * "Ten monolingual female adult speakers of Western Canadian English produced 36 target words containing two rhotic monophthongs ([ɝ] and [ɚ]), and four rhotic diphthongs (/ɪ͡ɚ/, /ɛ͡ɚ/, /ɔ͡ɚ/, and /ɑ͡ɚ/) in both open and closed syllables. Acoustic analyses were performed to extract F2 and F3 values across the vowel duration, as well as the duration for each vowel."


 * It says that [ɝ] is a rhotic monophtong. Therefore you don't need to add [ɹ] to indicate that [ɝ] is an r-colored vowel.


 * I don't use the symbol of diphtong because "In words such as start, many speakers have r-coloring only in the coda of the vowel, rather than as a simultaneous articulation modifying the whole duration. This can be represented in IPA by using a succession of two symbols such as [ɑɚ] or [ɑɹ], rather than the unitary symbol [ɑ˞]" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-colored_vowel)


 * Are you a non-rhotic English speaker?--Adelpine (talk) 16:58, 27 April 2021 (UTC)


 * My native English is rhotic and has features found in the midwest of the United States; for example, cot-caught merger of /ɑ/ and /ɔ/, dental flapping in unstressed positions as /ɾ/, and t-glottalization before syllabic /n̩/.Rigognos Molinarios (talk) 22:40, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
