What does "*šerɜ" mean? Creek or blood vessel? The entry says different at two places. Qorilla 20:08, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- šärɜ is blood vessel. *šerɜ is creek. The vowels are different. Jackwolfroven (talk) 19:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
"to be worth" treated separately?
[edit]I extended the senses under Etymology 3, and I just noticed that "to be worth" is already added under "Etymology 4" on its own. Is it certain that it needs to be treated separately? The meanings listed under Etymology 3 look diverse enough; I think "to be worth" might as well stay there. We should check some etymology dictionaries if there is any justification for an entirely separate treatment. Adam78 (talk) 01:37, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm still unsure if it justifies separate treatment in Wiktionary. Yes, without doubt, a separate sense, but their meanings are connected (as admitted by the author), they are not mere homonyms. On the contrary: according to this source, their etymology does seem to be the same, so I'd still prefer to treat them under the same etymology block. Adam78 (talk) 21:33, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
I think I found a good compromise with two distinct headings under the same etymology, the same way as it is treated in A magyar nyelv nagyszótára. Adam78 (talk) 01:41, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
