This depends. For Aredos (based on PIE), I generally give the odd etymology
or natlang cognate where I feel it might be interesting. Arvorec derives
from Gaulish, again I occasionally give an etymon, especially if borrowed
from another IB language. But for my few completely a posteriori languages
(such as Dweinasen, Kansu *used* to be a priori but seems now to be a
rather warped descendent of Sumerian) I don't bother giving etymologies. Of
course, if I ever get round to publishing any of the lexicons I've built up
they will contain etymologies.
