Is Icelandic hamla a descendant of the Middle English word ? Leasnam (talk) 21:53, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, hmmm. Sorry, you're right. I think I added the words under the wrong heading. They are cognates to, but not necessarily descendants from, the Middle English word. Is there a heading for those, or should we just remove them? — SGconlaw (talk) 21:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We have Related terms, but we usually reserve that for related terms within the same language. Cross-language relations are usually shown in the etymology sections Leasnam (talk) 02:22, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed them for now. Feel free to put them in the etymology section if you think they are relevant. — SGconlaw (talk) 03:43, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
