How do we code "Late Greek" in etymologies? As grc, gkm, or something else? These two entries currently code it as rge, but that is in fact the code of Helleno-Romani, a mixture of Romani and Greek. - -sche (discuss) 16:56, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
- "Late Greek" is a terribly silly way of denoting a chronolect belonging to a language continuum that has endured unbroken for thousands of years. In this case, the author meant Ancient Greek, but wanted to make it clear that it is Post-Classical (i.e. from the age of the Roman Empire). I don't really think gkm should be an L2, and in any case this isn't it, because gkm only begins once Latin is dead. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:35, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- I now notice that this edit back in 2010 had actually fixed this problem, only to be undone in 2011. Curious. - -sche (discuss) 04:36, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- Not so curious when you look at the contributors who made the edits. The IP who added the term "Late Greek" looks like they may be the same IP who keeps adding unattested Gothic terms. Vahag knows how we do things and has no ideological ax to grind, while Torvalu4 is notorious for having a very strong agenda and getting rid of all traces of any version that doesn't exactly match his own.
