| Nov 7, 2020 at 17:16 | comment | added | Draconis♦ | @curiousdannii True, though this question in particular actually gets at a systemic issue imo ("what does it mean when a Wanderwort is popularly associated with another word in a language" → "almost always a folk etymology"), so I'd leave it open. | |
| Nov 7, 2020 at 2:29 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | Just because the etymology tag exists doesn't mean that most etymology questions are on-topic. We've had lots of discussions on Meta, and I still maintain that we should only allow etymology questions which are about systematic issues. This just seems like a question about an arbitrary word and coincidental sound similarities. | |

| Nov 5, 2020 at 21:09 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | This question seems perfectly fine to me, but I agree you ought to change the title. “Hungarian kömény vs kemény” isn’t really what the question is about at all. | |
| Nov 5, 2020 at 13:22 | comment | added | purlupar | My advice was because I saw many people voted it down, me not included (the opposite is true: I tagged it). You can proceed whichever way you want, I can't help any further. | |
| Nov 5, 2020 at 10:59 | comment | added | chx | @purlupar I thought it is clear...? There is a single question in the whole post ...? Not sure what it is missing. | |
| Nov 5, 2020 at 10:13 | comment | added | Tristan | to the close voters, it is language specific grammar and usage questions that are off-topic, not etymologies. The fact we've got a specific tag for it, and the huge number of questions on this topic that haven't been closed make that clear | |
