Classical

[edit]

If this has a Plautus attestation, can it be considered as existing in Classical Latin? Are there any other Classical attestations for this word? Kwékwlos (talk) 21:11, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

There aren't, as far as I'm aware. This happens sometimes- Plautus will attest some word inherited into Romance, then nothing for several centuries. Nicodene (talk) 21:16, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
What are some specific examples (aside from this)? Kwékwlos (talk) 10:42, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Does this include porcella and porcellus? Kwékwlos (talk) 14:17, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
The first one only, and to be honest, it's probably best treated like a normal Latin word anyway. Nicodene (talk) 14:33, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Does Plautus attest the first one? And are there any other attestations beside him? Kwékwlos (talk) 14:49, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
