Hoh-Hu Connection[edit]
@Djkcel Hey- in 2020 you wrote at diff: "As a der|en|zh|- surname, spelling variant of Hu". How do you know the Hoh-Hu connection? Thanks for any guidance. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 19:30, 3 October 2022 (UTC) (Modified)
- Hello @Geographyinitiative! I would have gotten it from DAFN, but their entry doesn't mention Hu, so that seems to have been a mistake. I have updated and fixed the entry, thanks for bringing it to my attention. DJ K-Çel (contribs ~ talk) 19:41, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Djkcel I looked a little closer, and you were not mistaken! (Rarely get a ping like that!) The Internet Archive link to the 2003 version [1] makes the Hoh-Hu connection. Apparently the 2013 version of the DAFN got rid of the 2003 explanation and added the new ones. How do you think Wiktionary should look at this? I might suggest adding Hu back, but i seriously dk. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 19:52, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Geographyinitiative Oh wow, great find! Thanks for that, I thought it was a little weird that it was missing from the entry, because a connection with Hu doesn't sound like something I'd just make up. I've added it back into the entry with the source you found. DJ K-Çel (contribs ~ talk)
