Is this productive? The five examples provided are direct borrowings from Greek, not Latin coinages. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 19:15, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- German terms ending with -thek should be from Latin and Greek or be rather recent creations like Videothek and Spielothek. The entries in Category:French words suffixed with -thèque might be rather recent creations too (though zoothèque might be older). Similary, Latin terms in -theca might be borrowings or be very recent formations difficult to attest as contemporary Latin is a LDL. yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2013/05/24/nuntii-latini (Finish Nuntii Latini, not durably archived) doesn't have anything ending in -theca or -thēca. In scientific Latin zootheca ([1] - cp. [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], Oxford Dictionaries: zootheca) can be found. Would this single word be enough to attest a Latin suffix? -84.161.37.160 23:42, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
- RFV-deleted. There are still plenty of links from other entries, though, specifically from the entries -teca and -tehka. I've just delinked them for now. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 20:03, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
