slave: difference between revisions
someone put an obsolete propaganda theory as the etymology |
I think we can just cut this off at Latin, anyway, and direct users to that entry (where I see the etymology has been updated identically to give Kluge's etymology - thanks!) and the English 'hub' of info on 'Slav' (namely, the entry Slav). btw I am mentioning this in the WT:ES in case anyone wants to add/mention other theories. |
