Suffixes[edit]

Hi, please remember that suffixes are not only Latin here; also suffixes in any language, especially English, are allowed here.

--Connel MacKenzie T C 06:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I know. In both English and Latin, this suffix is exactly the same: "-rix" (as in "dominatrix"), not "-ix" ("dominatix"?) or "-trix" ("dominattrix"?). Hence I'm merging both misspelled pages into a new, accurate page, -rix. Do you disagree? -Silence 06:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

evolution[edit]

In your recent edit to the article evolution, you added in an extra definition line. While this is fine in it self, the order of the numbering of the definitions changed and therefore the corresponding numbers in the translation table became incorrect making the translations misleading. I have edited the article to correct this minor mistake and wanted to make you aware. Have fun contributing.--Williamsayers79 09:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

caedes[edit]

The plural genitive caedium is by far more common in the literature than caedum. --EncycloPetey 18:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • OK. Could we add some sources and include both forms, noting the more frequent one? (Or better yet, note which periods or authors vary on this form.) Lewis suggests the expected caedium is more common, but Sihler's New Comparative Grammar of Latin and Greek sez (p. 316): "There are a score or so nouns, some rare, with nom.sg. in -es. Of these, three go like cons. stems: sedes 'seat' gen.pl. sedum; so also caedum (caedes 'slaughter'), and vates 'seer' (the only masc. in the class), though Cicero has vatium. The rest, aedes 'room' gen.pl. aedium, clades 'destruction', proles, and so on, are like i-stem nouns in all regards apart from the nom.sg., and on the evidence of the App.Prob., which proscribes caedis, prolis, and some others as well as vatis, as a class they were liable to remodeling into ordinary i-stems." -Silence 18:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Silence. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Silence~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
