As far as I know this form only existed in Vulgar Latin, which leads to some issues with this entry:

the definition, as well as the alternative forms section of oculus, do not mention that it is a VL form. The easy solution is to add {{label|la|Vulgar Latin}}, but “(Vulgar Latin) Alternative form of X” just reads wrong to me. Maybe we need a {{Vulgar Latin form of}} template, or start considering VL a different language.
an automatic classical pronunciation is given. It could be removed but what will stop the bot from readding it?
a classical inflection is given, and the inflected forms have been created, even though many of these inflections no longer existed in the VL period. We have {{VL-decl}}, but I don’t know the forms.

All of this is moot if this was used in Classical Latin. — Ungoliant ^(falai) 00:12, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

“(Vulgar Latin) Alternative form of oculus” seems fine to me, as does “(Vulgar Latin) eye”. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 12:49, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
