Sulmues' edits

About this: first, the citation for the google snippet from Australian Slavonic and East European studies is still not complete – it's a journal article, so the crucial info is the author and title of the individual article. Also, what is "scholars seem to propose" supposed to mean? "I found something on Google books, but I'm too lazy to look it up properly, so I can't say for certain what those scholars are actually proposing"? That's such a ridiculous confession of editorial laziness. Either we've read the sources, then we know what their authors are saying, or we don't. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

87.*'s edits

Just a question to IP 87.*: did you check the Gamkrelidze/Ivanov book in the original, about those "prayers for rain"? What original ethnographic studies do G./I. base this on? (They must have some ultimate source, because they are not themselves experts on Albanian folklore). Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:07, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

they cite (vittore) pisani who had an extensive knowledge of the ancient languages of the area from what i know (but i dont know about albanian...)87.202.37.216 (talk) 15:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

actually i made a mistake..gamkrelidze-ivanov believe *perk^w- to come from *per with a suffix *-k^w which would mean that albanian lacks the suffix and uses *per + *unos (Perun) + *dyeus to form perendi if thats correct..you might have two gods here one striking (*per) and one being associated with the oak (*perk^w-) Perkunas because its the tree struck by lightning...the derivations are really uncertain it seems87.202.37.216 (talk) 15:27, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
