Your text:
- "Uncertain, but possibly young child's pronunciation of thanks."
can be subsumed within:
- "Perhaps from the hard-T Irish pronunciation of thanks or from Scandinavian takk/tack?"
which is already part of the proposed-but-uncertain {{rfe}} tag. Rather than adding an equally unsourced/unjustified etym you might consider accessing an etym resource? You may be right, but you are no more-supported (and less specific) than what is already there. - Amgine/ t·e 00:28, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have added a source. Nurg (talk) 01:18, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Have to admit that startled me enough to go to OED. Worst OED etym I have seen. Sorry I doubted. - Amgine/ t·e 02:11, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
