I could e.g. include them in the [[List of cuneiform signs]]. &mdash; [[User:SebastianHelm|Sebastian]] 06:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC) : I was planning to first, do post-upload cross-checking and minor error-corrections, then sort them by according to Unicode order, then decide which is the basic or most typical sign (in cases where multiple Assyrian Cuneiform glyphs correspond to a single Unicode code point). However, I only ever got 30% of the way through post-upload cross-checking and minor error-corrections. I could give you a table of the SVGs in Unicode order, but it would be missing some of the cross-checking, and there would be multiple SVGs for some Unicode code points... [[User:AnonMoos|AnonMoos]] ([[User talk:AnonMoos|talk]]) 14:45, 25 October 2017 (UTC) :: I'm surprised you base the sorting on Unicode. I had assumed you'd prefer MesZL, as you did in your collection. So I anticipated only the problem of one MesZL having several Unicode representations. What I had in mind for including them in the List of cuneiform signs was just ::# adding a column to those tables (or reusing the empty column) for your images ::# picking the first image and just adding an image tag in the new column with the filename. I'd do that in a semi-automated way. :: That doesn't preclude any in-image error corrections, since the image tag would automatically display the latest version of the image. However, any error corrections that involve changes in file name, such as may arise from cross-checking, would of course have to be duplicated in the List. If that could become a bigger issue, I could do step 2 in a way that can be easily reproduced. :: A table of the SVGs would be helpful if it also contained the MesZL codes; otherwise I can create it from your collection. :: Now that I look at your collection more closely, I realize that I don't understand it. Why do you combine MesZL 3 and MesZL 2 in one image, [[:File:Assyrian cuneiform U1212C MesZL 3 or U12400 MesZL 2.svg]]? On my browser, U+12400 {{Cuneiform|}} looks very different from U+1212C {{Cuneiform|¬}}. &mdash; [[User:SebastianHelm|Sebastian]] 02:19, 26 October 2017 (UTC) == Kircher == Thank you also for your book recommendation on Kircher. Would you attribute the decline of his reputation to the change of the cultural climate from mysticism (indulging in misconceptions) to rationalism (combatting them) then, or do you see a timeless lesson for us as human beings? &mdash; [[User:SebastianHelm|Sebastian]] 06:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC) : I don't have any profound knowledge of Athanasius Kircher. I've just seen various of his diagrams and maps for many years, and know that he was attempting a kind of grand synthesis of traditional systems and schemas at a time when many of them would soon be pushed aside by the rise of modern science. (A little similar to Casaubon in Middlemarch, maybe.) [[User:AnonMoos|AnonMoos]] ([[User talk:AnonMoos|talk]]) 14:45, 25 October 2017 (UTC) :: Oh, don't worry! You read the book, that's profound enough for me. What was the lesson you learned from it?

I'm working on a draft article for [[User:Tom 144/Hittite phonology|Hittite phonology]]. While researching on the pronunciation of its fricative consonants, Ugaritic loan words from Hittite show up as evidence. These consistently transcribe Hittite "s" as Ugaritic "t_", which is very strange because "s" is likely an alveolar or a post alveolar fricative, while this suggests a interdental place of articulation instead. However, I've seen you mention a merger in some semitic branch that would make a lot of sense if it applied to this language as well. Also, Ugaritic seems to represent Hittite "h-(", which is likely an uvular or pharyngeal fricative, with the letters for "g" and "h-.",. It is odd that for "h-(" to have two different places of articulation, but you mention a merger here as well. Could you fill me in with the details on how should all this be interpreted? --[[User:Tom 144|Tom 144]] ([[User talk:Tom 144|talk]]) 21:36, 21 September 2018 (UTC) I guess what I'm trying to ask is whether Ugaritic "t_" was pronounced as [{{IPAlink|th}}] or [{{IPAlink|S}}]. And whether "g" was a pharyngeal or a velar. --[[User:Tom 144|Tom 144]] ([[User talk:Tom 144|talk]]) 19:30, 23 September 2018 (UTC) == ArbCom 2018 election voter message == {{Ivmbox|Hello, AnonMoos.

Because the quote is very long relative to the prose in the article, Google is picking this quote out of the article as '''the''' definition of Classical language. (This is how I arrived at the article). Unfortunately, when Google does this it is not clear that this is a quote or the opinion of one scholar (from 1921). There exist, of course, other sources that disagree with his classification. For this reason, I don't think we can allow this, I hope this is ok for you.

The third sentence is fine, but the first two are not. 1) unconnected is wrong - the correct term is unlinked 2) "In other words" is wrong, because the second sentence is not a rephasing of the first. 3) Although I see your point, that if you delete a component then one has a two crossing link - and there are only 2 two crossing links, the unlink and the Hopf link. But this point is not made clearly in the second sentence. I personally don't think this is important enough to put in the second sentence.

Why? All of your comments are either ad hominem (and therefore irrelevant) or evincing naïve linguistic theory. By "naïve linguistic theory," I mean one that focuses on the issues that relate to one specific area of interest while neglecting how it impinges adjacent areas. If you're scratching your head at me, here's a smidgen of background... As part of an elementary school homework assignment, I'd included the sentence, "I hurried after them who left." My English composition instructor corrected it to, "I hurried after ''they'' who left." Her explanation: "I hurried after them" is correct by itself wherein "after" is a preposition and "them" is a prepositional object. However, my sentence continued so that "they who left" is, in its entirety, a nominal clause as the object of "after." So, properly construed, it's not, "I hurried ''after they'' who left," it's "I hurried after ''they who left'' wherein "hurry after" is a transitive phrasal verb. I then complained (a) "hurry after" isn't a phrasal verb, and (b) even if it were so construed, I'd correctly hurry ''after "them"'' who left, not ''after "they"'' who left. To which my instructor replied, "Look up [[zeugma and syllepsis]] for yourself and see how it applies to "after ''they who left''", otherwise you'll be stuck analyzing "hurried after them" and "they who left" under separate and distinct naïve linguistic theories that can't be reconciled individually in the manner synthesized in a sentence like "I hurried after they who left" wherein "they" is both the '''subject''' of "they ... left" and part of the '''object''', "they who left." And now you, AnonMoos, repeatedly refuse or otherwise fail to consider how a zeugma or syllepsis is at work regarding a sentence like, "That's the house I ran into." Did I ''run into'' the house (i.e., encounter it by chance? or crash into it headlong?) or did I run ''into a house'' (i.e., go inside while ambulating at a pace faster than a walk)? A naïve linguistic theory (read, ''traditional linguistics'') insists that it's one or the other. A modern linguistic approach acknowledges how, despite the identical word order, the semantic interpretation depends on disparate syntaxes: The meaning and syntax are by no means fixed. Another example of zeugma or syllepsis: In the P-stranding talk page thread, I wrote "My posts thereafter contained references to '''postpositional particle'''." I take back everything from the preceding paragraph if you can spot the zeugma in that quote. Give up? Answer: it's the word, "thereafter." Specifically, there's no dictionary anywhere that defines "thereafter" as anything but an '''adverb'''. You can rightfully accuse me of originality when I say there's no compelling reason, except convention, not to construe "thereafter" as an adjective in certain instances. Specifically, major dictionaries define ''thereafter'' as "after that" (Webster) or "after that time" (Oxford). Webster has no corresponding examples, but Oxford has 20 examples. None of the examples account for an instance like, "The first car, and two of the three vehicles thereafter, were damaged." Thus, the Oxford definition is too narrow for this adjectival construction, and Webster is silent on the matter. Back to my example: Is it an adjectival "My ''posts thereafter'' contained references to '''postpositional particle'''? Or, is it "My posts ''thereafter contained'' references to '''postpositional particle'''"? Make no mistake: I know of no grammarian who'd identify ''thereafter'' as an adjective; I know of no lexicographer who'd define it as an adjective; I know of no linguist who'd parse it as an adjective - particularly because linguists tend, by and large, stuck in their own provincial spheres of naïve linguistic theory. I, on the other hand, am not. Neither is [[User:Doric Loon]]. But there you dwell. Unless and until you prove me otherwise, you're on my "Do not call" list. Sorry to ghost you, but perhaps you should think of it as a favor. Meanwhile, consider how, "Who did you run into?" is a perfectly cromulent example of colloquial English. "Whom did you run into?" satisfies a narrow swath of grammatical weenies, and "Into whom did you run?" sounds like a schoolmarm from the 19th century or earlier. In any event, unless you're a very tiny person who ran and entered an epically large human being, I don't think "into" can properly be parsed as a preposition in this day and age under the "Who did you ''run into''?" iteration. Now, please excuse me while I'm off to always understand the conclusions of mainstream linguistics better than I seem to think I do. There are loads of corresponding items into and up which I must look and out about which I must find. --[[User:Kent Dominic|Kent Dominic·(talk)]] 20:47, 18 January 2022 (UTC) == Signature == Hey, was [[Special:Diff/1072365937|that]] some script acting up?

This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>. A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project. Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and: *adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia; *comply with all applicable policies and guidelines; *follow editorial and behavioural best practice; *comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and *refrain from gaming the system. <p>Additionally, you must be logged-in, have [[WP:ECR|500 edits and an account age of 30 days]], and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.</p><p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'' you may ask them at the [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> Your comment [[Special:Permalink/1246023860#Jewish Palestinian Aramaic|here]] is needlessly aggressive and a bright-line breach of [[WP:CIVIL]]. Please be courteous to other editors, [[WP:BITE|regardless of their tenure]]. As you don't seem to have been aware of the CTOP restrictions in this area before, this warning is not an AE action and will not be logged. (For what it's worth, the user you addressed is not currently able to participate in that topic area, as their extended-confirmed status has been revoked.) Thanks.
