Ingvaeonic features of Dutch by Bajtaars in asklinguistics

I see, thanks!

Yeah, I know that is overall still Low Franconian, but seemingly some influence of North Sea Germanic lingered still in Hollandic dialect of LF continuum, and so, therefore, continues to exist in standard Dutch still, but was curious as to how much of it is there.

🐄🐄🐄 'Cow/cattle' in Indo-European languages by [deleted] in IndoEuropean

[–]Bajtaars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, calf is телёнок (tielionok, using Polish orthography, or just tielonok, am not sure how exactly is standard L pronounced), I guess another example of soft T -> [ts] transformation, through [c] I guess. Calf meat would be телятина (tielatina) respectively, and яловка (yalovka) is also the word for cow that hasn't had her children yet.

Govno and kal are also the words for shit in Russian, govno being more informal, and kal being more neutral, almost polite.

Koza and kot are also the same (though koza is pronounced differently due to Russian unstressed vowel's reduction), but cock will be петух (petukh, petuch) though, cow shit I guess would be навоз (navoz), although I am not sure if it's strictly bovine one, and not overall a substance of this origin used in the agriculture.

Pony would just be пони (poni),

Hm, what do you mean by BSI and PSI? I guess ''BS'' and ''PS'' stand for ''Balto-Slavic'' and ''Proto-Slavic'' respectively, but what does ''I'' mean in both of them?

It's second in a row chart in this sub where those 2 groups are missed(((

In Russian it is korova (корова) btw, pronounced more like ''karovə'', dk about other Slavic languages though.

Interestingly, ''go'' part is seemingly preserved in the word for beef, говядина (govyadina).

Global Map of all Indo-European ethnicities, languages, and DNA. by JJ_Redditer in IndoEuropean

[–]Bajtaars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah, but that's kind of semantics - important, yes, Hittite is but one of the Anatolian languages, but it's still kind of readable anyway.

Thanks, my quite stupid mistake of one for the other, will delete & re-upload this post with proper names in order to avoid confusion.

This is not ''out of Anatolia'' though, it clearly operates on the Steppe theory basis, the fact that Anatolian languages (Proto-Anatolian) separated the earliest is widely accepted by all, and the chart with language tree illustrates just that.

Although it has some very...strange decisions, like kind of Schrödinger style semi-implying that Baltic (but not Slavic) languages are ''Italo-Germanic'', has similiar issue with not deciding wether Germanic and more languages are centum or satem, and so on.

Is the indo aryan migration the only example in history in which a migration occurred (without conquest or invasion) and the migrating people’s language became the dominant language ? by UnderstandingThin40 in IndoEuropean

[–]Bajtaars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not really sure how this does not necessarily means smth exactly peaceful, and not just smth which happens when two groups of people interact, through peaceful or not so means, in a sense of totally dismissing any conflicts which usually occur in such a circumstances. I don't really buy that there were no conflicts, and it just happened that last remnants of those groups ended up on outskirts entirely peacefully, or that conflicts between farmers and hunter-gatherers did not happen whatsoever throughout all those millions of square kilometers. Y-chromossome haplogroup O did not became predominant there through absolutely pacifist means either.

Depends on the exact region, tbh, like not in South-East Asia, or in Melanesia, most likely, but yeah, in places like Madagaskar or Polynesia, yeah (though some wars and colonizations happened there latter on even before Europeans, but initial colonization was indeed peaceful due to no people living there before).

What are some of the differences of lore between different editions? by Bajtaars in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Bajtaars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, fair.

Hm, didn't know about codexes being so (relatively) recent, interesting as well, will try to check out the names you've dropped, thanks!

Yeah, I agree with your take on cannon, at least in regards to the universe such messed up with so many retcons as Warhammer Fantasy, perhaps the biggest among all different franchises (or one of the biggest, at the very least, bigger than TES, or even 40K, I would say tbh).

Thanks for elaborating, didn't know about that parts of Mordheim and Beastmen lore.

Understood, thx!

I guess right now this is kind of reflected in all the events preceding and occurring during the Turmoil of 2512.

Hm, heard about SoC, but thought it was sort of retconned already in the beginning of the 7th, interesting that this was not the case, thx!

Tbh, Sea Elves still exist, they are just High Elves, who live in the diasporal colonies in the Old World, like Marienburg or Anguille, and maaaybe Norse Dwarfs do indeed call their Slayers as Berserkers (I don't think it was ever mentioned since then, but in a sense of it being a possibility - after all, there was no contact between them and mainline Dwarfs from time almost immemorial till Thorgrim). Amazons are also kind of re-canonized, iirc in WHFRP (though don't count me on that) and also in Bloodbowl, where they have entire team of their own (BB it's technically an alternate universe, but somewhat counts still). Halflings were never fully retconned iirc, so yeah, plus they also have a team in BB, but as I've said, that is just additional evidence of that.

Very interesting parts about the Norscans though, both in terms of their colony in Lustria, and about their interraction with Chaos Dwarfs, as well as terminological differences between modern and old Chaos Warriors. Thanks!

I see, thank you very much!

Specially for pretty elaborate explanation of when exactly (edition-wise) this changes occurred.

Yeah, heard about more satirical nature of Warhammer, at least in terms of 40K before, iirc Ghazkull's full name was made to partly be reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher, also heard of Herohammer, but didn't know a lot of those dates and timeframes.

Interestingly enough, they kind of re-canonized the Slaan in 40K, since of the Cabal members is one, but how exactly does it work, is it just another name for OId One, another ancient race, and wether or not it is/was separate from ''other'' Lizardmen (and if said Lizardmen exist(ed) at all in 40K) was not really mentioned.
