A user suggests that this entry should be cleaned up, giving the reason: "translation sections: what’s with the ‘var’? Shouldn’t all the proto forms have stars? Some languages use wrong script. Some languages are only dialects. English doesn’t make a difference between the cases for the pronoun, they should only occur in the translations (but see uncle). Check the Danish and Hindi ones. Polish section.".
Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup(+) or the talk page for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
