You left out the meaning of that term, accidentally. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 04:58, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Two Different Plural Forms?
I have a question: do Pennsylvanian German nouns such as Fenschder really have two different plural forms? (In that case, Fenschdere and Fenschdre) Thanks for answering. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 21:58, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, Pennsylvania German doesn't have an iron-clad orthography and pronunciations can vary widely across the speaking population. I am using some of the most authoritative sources for orthography, and they state that the plural of "Fenschder" is only "Fenschdre." I don't want to muddy the waters further, but there's another accpeted form of the singular and that's "Finschder." These things are just not clear-cut unfortunately.

 * Thank you, I asked the question because of the Dutch Wiktionary's approach to the plural forms. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 22:44, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Friehyaahr
I added a red link to a term that's related to the term Friehyaahr. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 14:06, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, I fixed the entry for you. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 15:58, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks Steapenhyll (talk) 16:00, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Now, two more links to terms added to the entry Schpotyaahr. You may take a break if you want. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 16:04, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * P.S. I got the three terms from the Dutch Wiktionary. Also, here's this: Category:Old High German terms with incomplete gender. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 16:12, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Old High German "jamar" is attested in both masculine and neuter genders. How would one go about representing that in the wiktionary syntax? Steapenhyll (talk) 16:28, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Since that's a fact, then the template will have to be updated to accommodate nouns with two or possibly even three genders. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 16:32, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Before we do that, it's also possible that the precise gender can't be determined because the attestation(s) don't make it clear due to grammar. Steapenhyll (talk) 16:39, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Empty pages
Hi, I just want to notify you that you've been creating some empty category pages. Can you please not do that? —Rua (mew) 19:32, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I wish I knew what to put in them. If I did, I would. I thought they were just meant to list all the terms contained within the category. Steapenhyll (talk) 19:35, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Just use . DTLHS (talk) 19:53, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I wonder if we could make it so that it just always puts that in categories by default. Then all you have to do is save the page. —Rua (mew) 19:56, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Pennsylvania German Conjugation
Have you ever considered making a conjugation table for Pennsylvania German verbs? (Such as possibly ) --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 13:45, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I would like to, but I don't know how. Steapenhyll (talk) 13:46, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Two examples are as follows: and . --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 14:01, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I will work on that. Steapenhyll (talk) 14:06, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I added a template for schwetze. The formatting could probably use a little bit of tweaking though. Steapenhyll (talk) 17:55, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Greiz
I added a term, Hokegreiz, to the entry Greiz. Now I'm wondering about the compound word's first half. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 14:22, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The first element is 'Hoke,' meaning 'hook.' It's cognate with German 'Haken'. A 'Hakenkreuz' in standard German is a swastika, which I believe 'Hokegreiz' would mean as well. Steapenhyll (talk) 14:26, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
