Starting the List without knowing Portuguese[edit]

Hi there. I have just started this list. The big problem is that I don't know Portuguese. I can get somewhere with my Latin and French, but if someone who knows Portuguese well could check what I am producing here, that'd be very good.

If you see this please point the page out to your Portuguese-speaking friends! Cheers, Krankman 00:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Propose changing the name to List of Sinhalese words of Port. origin ?

Fine with me. Krankman 18:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expand this article[edit]

Give reasons why this is an encylopedia artile not just a list of words. Describe how Sinhalese came about these words, there effect etc.RaveenS 13:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diyuranna[edit]

Hello. I just removed

divuranna	Swear	jurar	Swear

because it is not a loanword. It is a compound made out of diviya "oath" and uranavā "to swallow" (see Geiger, Etymological Glossary of the Sinhalese Language).

By the way Sinhala verbs are normally cited in the navā-form; we should stick to that convention in this article in case any verbs come up. Krankman 08:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
