"Comment"

The comment in the moment is pure phantasy. The sequence guttural-liquid is found in nearly all languages of the world with the primary meaning "round, bent" and thus it is not allowed to assume a borrowing from mere parallels. HJJHolm (talk) 08:31, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Only very narrowed beginners claim to know everything, without needing to give any argument or source for their god-like "decisions", as JohnC5 does not only here.HJJHolm (talk) 14:14, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

The references given are very, very old and presumably outdated. But it looks like there have been used newer, regrettably not noted ones.HJJHolm (talk) 05:53, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

@HJJHolm: Are you implying that a gutteral-liquid sequence has an underlying meaning of "round, bent" crosslinguistically or that all these sources come from a single source language? What is your theory? —JohnC5 14:35, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

This in particular true for the reduplication. I share this point with the so-called "omnicomparatists" (J. Greenberg, Bomhard a.o.), except their idiosyncratic conclusion that the IE wheel-words should all be loans from some Non-IE member source they naturally are not able to define.2A02:8108:963F:F853:DDBF:78AC:558B:F322 13:07, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Mistaken link

The link "Old Prussian: kelan (“wheel”)" mistakenly leads to Finish! 2A02:8108:963F:F853:DDBF:78AC:558B:F322 13:09, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

The page is just missing the Old Prussian entry. — surjection ⟨?⟩ 14:36, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
