Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Tulu pronunciations

Hi, {{tcy-IPA}} only works with Kannada script. If you use it on Tulu entries written in Malayalam script, you need to add the Kannada spelling as the first parameter, e.g. {{tcy-IPA|ಓಡ}} at ಓಡ (ōḍa). —Mahāgaja · talk 14:42, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Mahagaja, but I think now there is the {{tcy-ml-IPA}} template instead. Cyrohdn3 (talk) 16:48, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Great, I'll keep that in mind if I find any others. —Mahāgaja · talk 16:52, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

कर्ष is not the source of Dravidian words meaning "money"

You recently made an edit where you claimed that Sanskrit कर्ष is the source of various Dravidian words meaning "money", e.g. கோஸ் and ಕಾಸು. You also made various edits to the etymology sections of the pages for the Dravidian words themselves, making the same claim. All the sources I have consulted derive the etymology of these words to Proto-Dravidian; here is the relevant DEDR entry. I have reverted your edits, since they were unsourced and contradict the sources I have seen, but if you have sources arguing in favor of your view, please provide them here. Also, in the future, please avoid making unsourced edits to Wiktionary. Thank you. Brusquedandelion (talk) 23:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes, the etymology was originally added by @Gotitbro on the Tamil entry and I added them elsewhere on other entry- I remember vaguely that there was some sort of source for their etymology but it wasn’t very reliable. Cyrohdn3 (talk) 11:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

DEDR is only for listing cognates and they may or may not be loanwords. But yes, in this case these words are clearly native and (if) can only be reconstructed back to Proto-South Dravidian I. Illustrious Lock (talk) 16:47, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
