Talk:कटि

Derived from Proto Indo Aryan 'kaTa' From Proto Indo European*(s)qûel*t. Cognates to Greek, latin, Armenian and Balto Slavic languages.

Sanskrit language

Katī is a pure Sanskrit etymological word. Otherwise not a Dravidian origin word. Satyman (talk) 04:57, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

@Satyman: you seem preoccupied with denying that Sanskrit ever mingled with the speech of impure-non-Aryan barbarians, or even Iranian ones. In one case, you removed the words "an Iranian borrowing" without noticing that it was referring to a Proto-Slavic term in a list of Iranian cognates. Here, you're trying to replace a referenced, properly-formatted etymology with your unformatted, unreferenced assertion. Feel free to discuss this at the Etymology scriptorium, but you'll have to convince people who actually know something on the subject. Good luck with that.

No. You are totally wrong. I seems that you are a great Tamil purifier or illusionist. Tamil ir other Dravidian languages are influenced to Sanskrit language as very fewer. Your answer has many faults. I don't need to talk with you Satyman (talk) 06:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Tamil is a modern language, and thus too late to have been the source. Given the great age of Sanskrit, it would have been an ancestor of Tamil, or at least a relative of that ancestor. I don't know that much about the Dravidian languages, since what training I have is in Indo-European linguistics. It's true that there was far more influence by Indo-Aryan on Dravidian than the other way around, but that doesn't mean Sanskrit is entirely free of Dravidian borrowings. When languages are in contact for any length of time, there's always borrowing going both ways, however unequal. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:57, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with you 😊. Your answer is totally correct. Tamil is not oldest language. On the other hand Sanskrit has very few Dravidian origin words.numerally,3%-4% only. Dravidian languages have very strongest influence of Indo Aryan.Also why are you block me?. Please give me a opportunity to edit it. Sanskrit word katī has proto Indo European origin. Please change it too. I'm a doctorate linguist of Indo European languages. Please please 🥺 remove that block. Knowing about Indo European languages , why are you trying to prove that word has a Dravidian influence and publish it in Wiktionary ?. Please remove it.

@Satyman: You've yet to demonstrate any plausible PIE etymology for the word. What are its cognates? I've earnestly looked and could not find any. --Skiulinamo (talk) 03:21, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Do you want it? Satyman (talk) 03:36, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

@Satyman: Please, show us. --Skiulinamo (talk) 18:57, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm not trying to prove anything. You're the one who's changing a referenced etymology based on vague assertions. The reference already cited in the etymology mentions a Pokorny reconstruction, but dismisses it. Pokorny was already considered out of date and unreliable when I was taking classes in Indo-European linguistics three and a half decades ago. You say you're "a doctorate linguist of Indo European languages". You could just as easily say that you're 8 feet tall and have wings. I sincerely doubt anybody doing graduate work in Indo-European linguistics would describe themselves that way. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:06, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Are you mad. I'm a great linguist. I seems that you aren't a indo European linguist. Satyman (talk) 14:57, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
