Present continuous: idiom or spurious?
[edit]The current article text contains:
"the word tau ('suitable') and the word tau ('season') are stemming from Proto-Polynesian *tau and *taqu, respectively"
I wonder whether the use of the present continuous here may be English idiom, or else whether
"the word tau ('suitable') and the word tau ('season') stems from Proto-Polynesian *tau and *taqu, respectively"
constitutes an improvement.Redav (talk) 22:44, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Redav: I have changed "are stemming from" to "go back to". –Austronesier (talk) 18:47, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
