[edit]
The information you added is not about the Latin word; it is about the Ancient Greek. I moved the information you added to ναῦς, which is the appropriate location. However, it probably needs Linear B script (though I do not know how to code that). User:Atelaes might know. --EncycloPetey 00:33, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- But an etymology traces back a word to the earliest attested record. Of course you don't claim that Latin navis and Mycenaean na-u have nothing in common?
- Mycenaean is not a direct ancestor of Latin, so claiming it is "the earliest use of the word navis" is incorrect. Only Latin words borrowed from Ancient Greek should trace ancestry in Greek. --EncycloPetey 00:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Ok.
