Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! Vininn126 (talk) 21:56, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Ingwi

Old English Ingwi is not an an-stem and therefore cannot be directly derived from PG *Ingwô, which would look like *Ingwa ~ *Ingwan in OE. It does not belong where you are placing it. Also, this a given name, not the name of the god, and all but surely a shortening from a compound name with *Inguz as the first element, ex. Inguiomer.

Old English water

I am skeptical that this is an alternative form of wæter. In general you shouldn't just add something like this without clarifying what dialect and time period is involved. Please do so, otherwise I will remove the addition. Thanks! Benwing2 (talk) 23:47, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up! I actually checked this myself yesterday when I first saw your post, and while there are examples on Bosworth Toller that have it typed as "water", checking the scanned sources of those examples shows them with the "wæter"/"ƿæter". So unless there's proof otherwise, I'm fine with the addition being removed. Æzelf89 (talk) 17:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@Æzelf89 Awesome, thanks for looking into this! Benwing2 (talk) 22:56, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Old English wilcume

Ƿes þū hāl, Æzelf89,

I just want to thank you personally for your entry for wilcume.

I had been looking for it.

Keep up the good work,
