Talk:медоед

@Rua: I don't think this qualifies has a doublet of медведь (medvedʹ). For it to be its doublet, it would have to come from Proto-Slavic *medvědь itself (through some other route than direct inheritance, obviously, but still). It's simply a parallel formation. I've gathered other such cases at Appendix_talk:Russian_doublets#Synchronic_coinages (see also Appendix:French_doublets#False_doublets). Chignon – Пучок 21:24, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

I suppose that's fair. —Rua (mew) 22:00, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
