Needs content. --Robbie SWE (talk) 08:08, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedied as no usable content given. When there's so little content it's better to just delete it so the redlink will show that we need an entry. Since either this or the un-reduplicated Proto-Eastern Polynesian *witi is an ancestor of the name of our site, I'm sure someone will get to it eventually.

Thanks @Chuck Entz! Since we have an entry linking to the page, I felt it was worth saving. Oh well, I'll delete pages like this from now on. --Robbie SWE (talk) 08:38, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Huh, I've been under the impression that this was a loan from English. I wonder if that can't still be the case, really; many of these languages have no /k/ and would have to borrow quick as something like witV anyway.--Tropylium (talk) 11:15, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
