Hypercupolae

Hi!

I anwsered to you on Talk:Cupola_(geometry)!

See you later! Padex (talk) 17:21, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tensor field

Yes, the introduction seems to be an improvement. I'm still not entirely sure I know what it is, but I'm less unclear about how unclear I am now. ;-)- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 03:20, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jagermeister

I love the IPA and use it. The issue is its appropriate use in appropriate contexts.

So I must not ignore other editors, but they may ignore me. How does that work?

By the way, the correct idiom is "free rein," not "free reign." Wahrmund (talk) 23:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merely etymological

"and the distinction of <v> from <f> for medio-final /v/ to become merely etymological."

What do you mean? That the distinction is only made in the spelling and no longer in the language? Also, there was a medial distinction between /f/ and /v/ ('sævar' vs. 'sofa') but there wasn't any final distinction, was there? Haukur (talk) 23:51, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is precisely what I mean. Vafl, for example, would have been pronounced /ˈvɑvl/ after the merger, and still as /ˈfɑː/. /f/ only occurs initially, and is otherwise /v/, so it's an initial vs. medio-final allophonic relationship, like that of ð. Sævar would be pronounced /ˈsæː ˌwɑɾ/ before the merger, but afterwards would become like an endingless sæfari, before and after pronounced /ˈsæː ˌvɑɾ i/. LokiClock (talk) 00:48, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
All right, I would phrase that as "the distinction between medial /v/ and medial /f/ disappeared, though the distinction is made in normalized spelling". But note that, sæfari is a bit different - it's a compound word so the 'f' is pronounced /f/ in any time period. Haukur (talk) 11:16, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, there is no medial /f/, except in compounds. There's medial <f>. The sound represented by <v>, /w/, merged with the sound represented by medial <f>, /v/, so that /v/ was confined to being a medial allophone of /f/. I failed to note that it was a compound word, but you get my point, anyway. LokiClock (talk) 20:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, if you want to slice it that way. Note that if I've commented on your talk page I'll be watching it, you don't need to specifically notify me of replies over on my talk page. Haukur (talk) 20:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Alrighty, then. If you have any suggestions on how I could word that better, please let me know, or just clarify the text yourself. LokiClock (talk) 20:48, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First Grammatical Treatise

I didn't remove any references, I merely moved the speculation about Þorodd out of the first paragraph of the article... AnonMoos (talk) 03:56, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you were the one who first added the name "Þorodd" to the article (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First_Grammatical_Treatise&action=historysubmit&diff=328491616&oldid=327953691 ), so if you don't know where that theory comes from, then maybe it should be removed from the article.
