Is Icelandic hamla a descendant of the Middle English word ? Leasnam (talk) 21:53, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, hmmm. Sorry, you're right. I think I added the words under the wrong heading. They are cognates to, but not necessarily descendants from, the Middle English word. Is there a heading for those, or should we just remove them? — SGconlaw (talk) 21:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- We have Related terms, but we usually reserve that for related terms within the same language. Cross-language relations are usually shown in the etymology sections Leasnam (talk) 02:22, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- I've removed them for now. Feel free to put them in the etymology section if you think they are relevant. — SGconlaw (talk) 03:43, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

- @Leasnam: Could you please add IPA? I would myself, but I'm not quite sure on the quality of unstressed e's in ME. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:01, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
