Ionic Greek
I added this parenthetical a couple years back, before the section on subdialects was added. Now that the section on subdialects is present, the parenthetical is redundant. I am thus removing it.currentTags: Visual editMobile editMobile web edit

Neptune
Restored the original color-corrected photo of Neptune, in lieu of the brightened one. The study in question involved contrast and gamma correction in synthesizing a true color image of Neptune. "Brightening" the image (except for literally brightening one's computer screen) will disrupt that, something which can be seen by the resultant lower contrast on Neptune's south in the brighter image.Tag: Visual edit: Switched

Andalusi Romance
The reason I changed it to representation is because -tj- also yields -tʃ- in Mozarabic, as opposed -ts- in Italo and Eastern Romance. Likewise, there are in fact example of -kj- becoming -ts- in Mozarabic, such as bracchium > bartsu. It’s possible that Mozarabic, like most of the rest of Western Romance, merged -kj- and -tj- as -ts-, then reverted it to -tʃ- in most cases. I’m not fully sure, though.Tags: Visual editMobile editMobile web edit

Semitic languages
→Consonants: No changes: but it is worth nothing that older Proto-Canaanite script shows distinctions that were lost in the Early Linear Script but still pronounced in early Hebrew, so the idea that Paleo-Hebrew was adopted FROM Phoenicia is ultimately not impossible. Still though, just to be safe, I've used the term Early Linear, as most scholars continue to see those alphabets arising contiguously (Paleo-Hebrew and Phoenicia).Tag: Visual edit

Semitic languages
→Consonants: Okay, so Wikipedia DOES list Paleo-Hebrew as a child system of Phoenician, but I do want to signify that Paleo-Hebrew was not adopted FROM Phoenicia; rather, the Phoenician alphabet arose throughout all of Canaan. Wikipedia also calls it "Early Linear," so I'll use that.Tag: Visual edit

Semitic languages
→Consonants: I changed the wording somewhat. The original wording implied that the Hebrews "adopted" the alphabet from Phoenicia, when in reality, it would probably be better to say that they both started as common script among the Canaanites, and which later became increasingly distinguished between Phoenicia and Israel/Judah. (Remember, the script of the Canaanites originated around Sinai, so it would have spread upwards.) Either way, the "Phoenicians" called themselves "Canaanites".Tag: Visual edit

Homeric Greek
Okay: so I've made several edits over my last few edits. First, I noticed that the article said poleoos didn't exist in Homeric and then said it did. I fixed that (where it said peleoos did exist, I changed it to poleeos, the correct Ionic form). Secondly, I created two notes, which contained background info on -aao and -aaoon as genetives.
