These seem more like things that just _aren't_ currently done on
Wiktionary than things that need Ω because they _can't_ be. (I know the
first at least was tried, but didn't really catch on, and 'hobune' has had
a link to et.wiki since 2007—it's only convention that makes these links
on a by-entry rather than a by-sense basis.) Given that it does seem to
be a product of its own culture, I agree with Milos' idea that it would be
better as a separate Wiktionary, if it needed to take on the name of
Wiktionary at all.

I don't suppose it comes in an ISO 1951:2007-compatible format?
The 'view source' button and Special:Export appear to be broken. :|
