Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Source of etymologies?

Hello, Dušan! May I ask where you are taking these etymologies for Proto-Slavic terms like *korkъ (“leg”)? You've provided as its origin Proto-Indo-European *ḱorkeh₂ (“pebble”), which matches neither phonetically, nor semantically. Is that your own interpretation or you've read it somewhere? 2A00:23C7:9C97:8201:F107:5334:4B00:A2EA 09:05, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

@2A00:23C7:9C97:8201:F107:5334:4B00:A2EA: Own "research". Just as a cubit, an inch are a unit of distance, so it is both a stone (a small stone, a large stone or a stone like a mountain/hill). Transferred semantics and syntax similar to Slavic languages from Central Europe: krok → *korkъ → *ḱorkeh₂. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 09:34, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
