Macedonian

Macedonian "при́јател" is stressed on the first syllable, at least in the nominative singular. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 13:50, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I thought Macedonian had no contrastive stress at all, like Polish and Czech? —CodeCat 13:55, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

(and Slovak) It's third to last syllable (if exists), exceptions are mainly loanwords and a few native words. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 14:00, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

This was the version I originally edited (with я instead of иј), which you in the meantime changed to и́ј but MediaWiki didn't give me edit conflict error (bug, I think). --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 15:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I see. I thought you removed the stress mark on purpose. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 19:26, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Difference

What's difference between "prijateljь" and "drugъ" in proto-slavic? 82.209.117.232 18:08, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

My hunch as a Slavic speaker is that "prijateljь" is intimate, while "drugъ" is more military: Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌳𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌷𐍄𐍃 (gadrauhts, “warrior”), Icelandic dróttinn (“lord”) and Old English drihten. Zezen (talk) 07:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
