Many of Latin entries at the same spellings appear to similarly be transliterations of the words from Aristotle, and should probably be defined with the same degree of specificity as the Ancient Greek words they are derived from. If someone wants to attempt that project, they are more than welcome to it, since it is out of my pay grade.
