Pronunciation

Sorry - I hoped in the Talk tab to be able to just ask a question. How is it pronounced? I think we need an audio recording - or at minimum something showing how the parts of this word sound like parts of common words. I'm surprised I can't submit this only for behind-the-scenes talk. Must it be public? Caregiver 23:58, 25 April 2021‎ (UTC)

@Caregiver: I think we need such for all proto indo european deities. Please remember to sign your posts in the futureImmanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 16:04, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article is too bloated

This article is difficult to read as it is too bloated.

“ In addition, phraseological studies by linguist Olga A. Lyashchynskaya (be) recognize the incidence of the expression in Belarussian language: expression "спаць у сырой зямлі" ('to sleep in the damp earth') is a metaphor for death;[143] expression "ляжаць у сырой зямлі/зямельцы" ("to lie in the damp earth/ground") denotes a burial ("to be interred");[144] "ажаніцца з <сырою> зямлёй" ("to get married to the [moist] earth") means "to die".[145]”

So what? Yes people in north eastern Europe are buried in a damp Earth when they die.

That’s just one example. The article is full of meaningless / obvious statements. Gold333 (talk) 14:28, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 5 December 2025

It has been proposed in this section that *Dʰéǵʰōm be renamed and moved to DheghomDheghom. A bot will list this discussion on the requested moves current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil. Please use {{subst:requested move}}. Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly. Links: current log • target log • direct move

*Dʰéǵʰōm → DheghomDheghom – Name of the article doesn't seem to be much in use, is untypable and unrecognisable for most editors. Either "Dheghom" or sometimes "Dhéǵhōm" seems to be the standard way of indicating this word / concept in books[1].

• Move to something that can be typed by a non-expert. There are other examples in Category:Reconstructed words that should also be renamed for the same reason.--Northernhenge (talk) 19:23, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per nom and WP:ENGLISHTITLE. The proposed title already redirects here and has for several years. Station1 (talk) 08:50, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
