Proto-Romanian
[edit]Should we make a new reconstructed language called Proto-Romanian (roa-ro-pro) and use Romanian orthography for the reconstructions? Kwékwlos (talk) 19:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- For example:
- *ad hīcce > *aice
- *cavula > *gavră
- *clubium > *kul'bu
- *eccum illōc > *aculo or *acolo
- *fētiolum > *fecioru
- *imbibitō > *ămbetu
- *inaltum > *ănlatu
- *incaldēscō > *ăncăld̦escu
- *indēnsō > *ăndesu
- *ingrevicō > *ăngrecu
- *iugastrum > *jugastru
- *mana > *mănă
- *norum > noru Kwékwlos (talk) 19:14, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- I see no benefit to it and it loses etymological information.
- Moreover, is there any source which uses such a spelling for proto-Romanian/proto-Balkan-Romance? Nicodene (talk) 19:26, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Romanian page lists some Common Romanian terms. Probably reference 25 or 26. Kwékwlos (talk) 19:36, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Never underestimate the power of Wikipedians to simply make things up.
- Anyway it's fine as-is. Romance etymological dictionaries use etymological spellings. Nicodene (talk) 19:49, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
