Etymology section
, please refrain from making disruptive edits and redacting aggressive warnings on my talk page. The sentence "It is cognate with Old Irish lingid" is not an "English error", as you said, it is perfectly correct and attested in numerous quotes on Google Scholar (51 results; against 20 for "the Old Irish", many of them in other contexts). Your edits on my contribution do not appear to be justified ("Name > Etymology"; "cognate with" > "cognate with the"). Consequently, I'm going to restore the article to the stable version.

 * Any "aggression" you perceived in the message I left for you comes from your own imagination. That message, which is from a standard template, is perfectly appropriate for an editor who reverts changes without prior discussion and with no explanatory edit summary.
 * And you know as well as I that what you are calling the "stable version" you refer to is your version from earlier today, where you changed material originally added by you two weeks ago, with original heading "Etymology", which I believe you will find is the preferred heading for an etymology section.
 * While I could not call your omission of the definite article before the other-language terms wrong, I can say that English prefers the the as I added it. Eric talk 16:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not an etymology-one section, since the meaning and definition are also discussed. I have restore 'the'. Azerty82 (talk) 16:37, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I've been editing such sections since 2008. WP prefers naming such sections "Etymology" (I am referring to sections about the historical meaning of a word), as opposed to "Name." --Omnipaedista (talk) 09:15, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
