Requests for Finnish etymologies
Nobody is actively working with Finnish etymologies. Thus, adding requests for them seems a bit pointless activity.
The entries still need etymologies though, even if there's nobody to provide them. I see it more as a "to do" list.
Maybe one day I'll get around to adding them, like I'm doing now. Suffixes are much easier to get than other origins.
All right, I idin't know that you are working on them. Keep up the good work. I was just worried of the possibility of accumulating a superlong page with a list of missing etymologies. I'm currently working with Finnish index which also has tens of thousands of red links to follow. It'll take years before I finish it.
I still take passes at cleaning up Finnish etymologies every now and then; having them tagged helps to keep track of what's done and what's not.
I usually create Proto-Finnic pages if I feel confident enough that the term comes from Proto-Finnic. That means that it has to have attestations in at least the North and South Finnic groups, preferably the less standardised varieties. Finnish + Võro + Veps is an excellent distribution, Votic is also very good. Finnish + Karelian + Veps is probably too dubious, as is North Finnic + Estonian, because Estonian is known to have borrowed a fair number of terms from Finnish.
If I'm not confident in reconstructing a term, I put a request there instead and list the cognates I did find.
A good use of caution. Words found in Finnish + Karelian + Veps alone would often include recent Russian loans, similarly Finnish + Karelian + Estonian would rake in lots of Swedish and even some Low German loans.
