Talk:вітрило

Etymology

A citation for the reconstructed Proto-Slavic *větridlo (currently mentioned in the article) is needed. Ukrenko (talk) 11:32, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Also, I’m not sure why user Gnosandes felt a need to scrap the following paragraph of mine with explanations of meaning:

«Probably, from unattested meaning of [[вітрити]] as "to wind, to wind up, to wind through, to fill with wind", and so [[вітрило]] with the meaning "an instrument or a tool for winding, blowing wind through; that which uses the blowing of the wind; that which gets filled with wind".»

Adding to that, such meaning is actually not unattested, as it turns out, and can be found in the Dictionary of Old East Slavic by Izmail Sreznevsky (Словарь Древне-Русского языка И.И.Срезневского), in volume 1 on page 498:

«ВѢТРИТИ, ВѢТРЮ (В.) — вѣять ["to blow, to whiff"], производить вѣтеръ ["to produce wind"], ventilare…» Ukrenko (talk) 11:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
