The Latin form of a Russian name. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:25, 16 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

What specifically is the argument for deletion? We have an entry for Μόσχα, the Greek form of a Russian name. We also have La Haye, the French form of a Dutch name. And so on.  --Lambiam 15:01, 17 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
Μόσχα is a Greek entry. La Haye is a French entry. This is not a Latin entry. Chuck Entz (talk) 15:18, 17 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
It isn't a translation - it is a transliteration using Latin letters. I didn't think we included those. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:25, 17 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
The transliteration of the Russian name Москва is “Moskva”. I think that the editor has used the wrong L2 and that the entry means to say that the name in the Latin language for Moscow is Moscha. It is indeed one of the forms used, next to Moscua.[1][2][3](pdf) The name is also used in Latin for the Moskva River after which Moscow was named (flumen Moscha or Moscha fluvius). It was very likely borrowed from Greek.  --Lambiam 13:28, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
Keep, but fix if necessary. I added the inflections for the Latin word Moschus to this page. But I will leave the fixing of the other stuff to someone more knowledgeable. -Mike (talk) 19:44, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
