Vandalic: rik or riks

[edit]

I don't think Geiseric is a good example for Vandalic -riks. --80.114.178.7 22:07, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


  • I see no unambiguous indications from attested forms (compare Category:Vandalic lemmas) that this is the correct form this suffix would have had in Vandalic (some latinisations have -rix, some have -ric);
  • I do not know of an accepted orthography for Vandalic (reconstructions?) from scholarly sources nor one that is accepted on Wiktionary (due to the paucity of sources and dependence on mentions embedded in Latin texts in latinised forms);
  • This entry should probably be marked as reconstructed in the first place if it is to be kept.

Still, perhaps I am missing something? (See also some of the last remarks at Wiktionary:Requests for verification/Non-English#antipericatametanaparbeugedamphicribrationes.) — Mnemosientje (t · c) 12:57, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
