Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/redьky

Controversial reconstruction. *rьdьky ~ *redьky, see: Max Vasmer. Gnosandes (talk) 12:16, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

I've added an additional source. —Rua (mew) 16:09, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

So, what’s the point? Does not say the page title should be Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/rьdьky ~ *redьky or something like that. It is not even controversial either, like that someone would say it was *rьdьky and not *redьky, but what Vasmer said is that there actually were both forms. Ukrainian points to *rьdьky, Russian, Belarusian and Slovak to either, Polish, Sorbian, Czech and Slovene to *redьky, Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian and Bulgarian to neither. And most importantly the Germanic origin term points to *redьky. Fay Freak (talk) 16:32, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

I see you're all Germanic. There is *rьdьky ~ *redьky! And this is your personal guess. And to show that there is an alternative reconstruction? Gnosandes (talk) 18:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

@Gnosandes:: What are you talking about? What do you want to achieve? To show an alternative reconstruction is possible with the header ===Alternative reconstructions===, to show an alternative form is possible with the header ===Alternative forms===. But there is little indication of a form *rьdьky, we can also omit it, the Ukrainian can well be a coincidence, as the Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian and Bulgarian too are irregular. This has nothing to do with WT:RFV, the form under which I created is held by the literature and the related terms. Moreover, WT:RFV has nothing to do with disputing the form of reconstructed terms, since whether it existed is not disputed, only the how it existed, or the what to show.
