Etymologies[edit]
Hello, please do not add speculative claims about similarities of words to etymology sections, as you did here and elsewhere. Etymology sections must only contain information sourced to reliable linguistic publications. Purely superficial, apparent similarities of some historical names or words with expressions in other languages are usually purely incidental and have no linguistic value at all.

- If you really want to put that etymology, Agron, please bring it to the talk page first with a reference. I am familiar with that claim, but we have to see if the writer that brought that etymology is well known in the academic world. Dhe Mireseerdhe! --Sulmues Let's talk 14:12, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- The facts that I am bringing up they are not similar phonetically but similar by meaning. On the other hand there is no need to point out to some research paper when any dictionary does the job for the non-albanian speakers. In my references I am using Google Translate. For Albanian speakers this is common knowledge but I'll still use google translate as a sourced reliable linguistic publication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ancient_Macedonian_language#Ancient_Macedonian_words_that_have_survived_to_present_day Agroni (talk) 15:11, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
