Reconstruction talk:Proto-Slavic/jьlъ

@Victar, Stop removing the accent paradigm, the old Russian form, and the Glagolitic spelling. ---- Gnosandes (talk) 02:04, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

@Gnosandes: Technically, none of the sources provided here provide the accent paradigm for the *jьlъ variant. Derksen doesn't, Vasmer doesn't of course, and unfortunately the word is absent from Olander's Common Slavic accentological word list. So, the accent paradigm for *jьlъ has no direct source so far. I mean, I would be shocked if it weren't the case, since all the descendants seem to have Ap-a. But, still, we probably shouldn't guess.

On the other hand, the *jilъ variant from Verweij does specify accent paradigm a. Since WT:PROTO says that variants can be described on the pages in great detail, I think that it should be specified there. This format would be similar to that found on *mъxъ. Alternatively, according to WT:ASLA, real differences in reconstruction with sources, like the *jilь variant, should be listed in an Alternative reconstructions header in the usual place. Either way, I see no rationale to hide the *jilь reconstruction.

Also, I don't see why the Old Russian and Glagolitic spellings should ever be deleted. These are attested languages, so they are in the main space. There, according to WT:CFI, variant spellings should be included. BirdValiant (talk) 04:12, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

@BirdValiant, So it's not me deleting them, I wrote them, Victar canceled them, then I restored them again. Look at the Old Russian and you will be clear of accent paradigm in Proto-Slavic. It's so primitive. :D Gnosandes (talk) 04:18, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
