Someone please add an IPA transcription for this theonym.--Sigehelmus (talk) 15:35, 6 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Sigehelmus: Why? I'm fairly opposed to the IPA transcriptions of reconstructed terms. —JohnC5 16:51, 6 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
I'm not, but there are a multitude already transcripted. See here:https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Proto-Italic_terms_with_IPA_pronunciation--Sigehelmus (talk) 17:02, 6 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
I'm aware, but I'm sure @CodeCat would agree that doing so is wild guesswork. —JohnC5 17:56, 6 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Really, all it would be is a conversion of one notation (the written lemma) into another (IPA). I wouldn't call it guesswork so much as just not really very useful. —CodeCat 18:11, 6 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
