Talk:Leguan

Oxford dictionaries says leguan, leguaan, and likkewaan are south african english for large african monitor lizards, with origin "late 18th century: from Dutch, probably from French l'iguane 'the iguana'".

I know little about Wiktionary so won't be trying to edit anything (I'm familiar with Wikipedia editing), but I think somehow these three terms should have something like "see also" links to one another, with a single definition and single etymology. (The current definition for leguan says that it's a German word of Spanish origin, and the current definition of leguaan says it's an English word of Dutch/Afrikaans origin which is of from French. 71.227.116.62 03:40, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Linking via "See also" might make sense, but Leguan and leguaan shouldn't have the same definition or etymology. Sure, there are parallels, but Spanish isn't French, and German isn't English (or Dutch or Afrikaans). The English word leguan would be different from the German Leguan (capitalization counts), and while the definitions seem to overlap, they aren't necessarily identical.

The German word is from Dutch, and the Dutch word seems to be directly from Spanish according to my sources. Kolmiel (talk) 14:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
