tractate

[edit]

The word treatise does not share an etymological origin with tractate, so they are not "Related terms". --EncycloPetey 22:21, 14 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Language Codes in etyl templates

[edit]

When you copy {{etyl}} templates from one language to another, please change the second parameter, which is supposed to be the language code of the entry. All of your Faliscan-etymology edits that I've looked at so far have etyl templates with "la" as the second parameter, which means the derivations are categorized as Latin. For example: {{etyl|ine-pro|la}} puts the entry into Category:Latin terms derived from Proto-Indo-European (look at the bottom of the entry to see the categories). at least a couple of us have been going through your entries and replacing "la" with "xfa", but it's rapidly getting old.

@The Man in Question this still applies and it applies to {{der}} and {{inh}} too, please be careful and note the following diffs: case 1, case 2, case 3, case 4. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 08:14, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
