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.

Blank lines

Hi, thanks for your work on Latin. For future entries do bear in mind WT:NORM#Headings, which states that every header should be preceded by a blank line. This also makes it easier for other editors to read your code. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 09:25, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Salvē plūrimum, docte homō! Vīdī nūperimē quod scrīpstī dē ipsimāgine, et multum placuit. Volēbam scīre unde verbum dēsūmperīs. In proximum optimē valē. 47.13.78.236 17:11, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Salvus sīs et tū, Alexī. Dē pīpiātōriō verbum dēprōmpsī, atque etiam ex ōre alicuijus nescioquando praesens audīvī. Imbricitor (talk) 18:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Grātiās plūrimās agō quod novum verbum mē docuistī. Tuam virtūtem laudō! Lingua latīna novīs vocābulīs audāciter eget. Alexius Isclanus (talk) 19:45, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Exīstimō istīus significātiōnis frequentissimam vōcem esse "ipsulum", ut quod verbum fidēlissimē formātiōnem anglicam reddat. Imbricitor (talk) 20:14, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Rēctissimē monēs. Adde quod ōlim, saltem septem annōs abhinc, didicī dīcere "ipsellum/ipsillum", quod mihi nōn īnfacētē sonat. Alexius Isclanus (talk) 23:23, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

-ι̯ω

Hi - am I right in thinking that -ι̯ω (-i̯ō) (which you created) is a duplicate of *-ϳω (*-jō)? The latter seems more appropriate to me, given that this is an unattested suffix (or rather, it's unattested in its expanded form), and as far as I understand, the artificial letter ϳ (j) is used to represent the ultra-short iota, rather than the Greek-IPA hybrid which you've used. Do let me know if I'm wrong, though. Theknightwho (talk) 15:19, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. I didn't know that page existed. Some authors use j(even the normal one), others use the character that I used... My main concern was that this suffix should be mentioned in etymologies of words that were formed using it, e.g. ἐλπίζω (elpízō). Formerly, its etymology was ἐλπίς (elpís) + -ίζω (-ízō), but this is wrong, considering that in formations like ἀνδραποδίζω (andrapodízō) the full suffix is attached to the (dethematicised) stem.

So yeah, we then ought to replace all mentions of the lemma I created by the one that was already there beforehand. Imbricitor (talk) 16:33, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
