False Etymology

I can read some Portuguese and I thought the article dealt with both false etymology (rather strange page indeed, dealing with a non-scientific topic) and folk etymology. However I'm pretty sure the Spanish article deals with folk etymology as well. The Italian page was completely messy, I rewrote it citing some reliable sources, since paretimologia among Italian linguists means folk etymology, not false etymology. You may revert the interwiki table for Spanish and Portuguese pages, linking them to false etymology, but remember that among linguists folk etymology is a precise concept whereas false etymology is rather vague. Please leave the Italian page linked to folk etymology. Até logo.--Carnby (msg) 14:23, 4 gen 2013 (CET)
