Is is:Tengistafur really the same as en:Thematic vowel?

Hi, @Akigka!

A few years ago you merged item Q16428842 into Q3322476. However, I do not think that the two items are that closely related. Now, I do not read Icelandic very well (although I am a Swede with some interest in language history, and also some interest in the Faroese language, and both things help a little), so I may have misunderstood the Icelandic article; but if I did understand it correctly, it concerns the connecting sound (or the letter for this sound) regularly inserted between two words, when we form compounds in languages like Icelandic or Swedish. For any native English speakers reading this: In many languages, including most other Germanic languages than English, forming compounds according to certain rules is an ordinary and normal way to form words. These compounds in general do not behave exactly as just juxtapositions of two words. On the other hand, a `thematic vowel' is a vowel sometimes ending the stem (is:Stofn) of a word in some languages, before suffixing the endings.

The term thematic vowel is mostly used for an old Indoeuropean phenomenon, easily visible in languages such as Sanskrit or Classical Greek, but only showing itself rather indirectly in most modern such languages. (The very special first person singular ending seen in modern English I am and in Anglo-Saxon I dom ("I do") is said to go back to a peculiar ending for Protoindoeuropean athematic verbs, verbs with no thematic vowel in their verb stems.) This in itself is very interesting (at least I think so); but I do not think that this is what the Icelandic article is:Tengistafur is about.

Did I understand the Icelandic article correctly? If so, I think that it would be better to move the link to is:Tengistafur to item Q863635 (or some similar item), and to redirect Q16428842 to that item. Do you agree?

This is the correct Icelandic term. See [1]. --Akigka (talk) 18:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

@So9q would you mind explaining why you removed the iswiki link? Akigka (talk) 15:31, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

I may have done sth wrong. I only intended to add correct iw- links to one entry Akigka (talk) 15:33, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, the merge seemed all wrong so I reverted it. Thank you for adding the right sitelink to iswiki :)

I just added the is label also, see https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q1757684&action=history

Now everything looks good to me. So9q (talk) 05:43, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting this. --Akigka (talk) 10:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
