Disputatio:Ebola (flumen)

No source for the lemma

I ruled this no longer a non-stipula, even though I could not find a source for the lemma. This river is clearly the source for the name Ebola found in other articles here (about the virus), yet those articles are not considered non-stipulae. And the fact that Ebolavirus is an accepted taxon at this point says to me that there is at least a glimmer of an acceptance of it as a neo-Latin construction.

Yes, I think we really only require sources for proper nouns when the form we use is specific to Latin (e.g. Pechinum). For most names, we default to the original language. In this case, one might argue for Legbala, the local indigenous name, but since Ebola is used in French (the official language of the DRC) and is recognized internationally, I would stick with that.
