бабье лето
Cognate does not mean the same as "derived from". If this really is derived from Polish and not cognate with it then the etymology should be updated. Acolyte of Ice (talk) 10:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually I admit that I can't say for sure if the Russian term is definitely derived from the Polish. Just babie lato and бабье лето (lit. '(old) woman's summer') look quite similar. According to Altweibersommer, the term has Western European (German?) origin, such terms were often appeared in literary Russian via Polish. But, then again, I am not 100 percent sure, so I'd likely remove the category. --Wolverène (talk) 10:38, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

i reverted your edit on dough without realizing i was reverting someone. it's our house style ... English definitions are capitalized and have periods at the end, even if the definition is a single word, whereas other languages' entries are defined with lowercase sentence fragments, most likely because they often point to an English word rather than being a full definition in place. there are a few exceptions, for example alternate spellings are "not really a definition" and so can begin with lowercase words and lack terminal periods, though i admit we're inconsistent even here.

 * Thank you, I have never known. I will take note of this for the further work. All the best, --Wolverène (talk) 05:46, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
