text: yes. I think we need to collect a fair amount of material first, and then decide on how to best present it in tabular form. dab (𒁳) 12:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

message: As examples on the element Laf I belive Lefir/Leif and Elof/Elef should be added

thread_title:  Laf 

message: The abbreviations f. and a. are not explained in the article, nor are they standard in Wikipedia. Equally important for me, I don't know what they mean in this context. I suggest either using the full words or at least providing a key. Thanks, SchreiberBike talk 19:30, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Please look at the table in the Italian version of the articl. It is better structured than the English one, dividing the examples between those who have the element as a prefix and those have it as a suffix.--31.27.178.112 (talk) 15:33, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

message: What could be the etymology of the name Elfriede? --Apisite (talk) 07:46, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello User:Apisite. My first guess would be elf beautiful, but I'd need a little more info to be sure, specifically time and place. Edit: it looks to be late English. Burgundaz (talk) 14:43, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology of Elfriede 

message: What say we simplify the element section by giving the Proto-Germanic form of the element itself, for instance, in the first line, all three variants would simply be given as *aht-, it would be the various daughter languages where the differentiation occurs. Of course, I'd be happy to do it, as long as no one has any objections. I'll wait a while, just in case. Burgundaz (talk) 14:40, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
