Disputatio Categoriae:Taxa monotypa
Latest comment: abhinc 10 annos by Andrew Dalby in topic Genus monotypicum or genus monotypum
Genus monotypicum or genus monotypum recensere
Both forms are attested in Neolatin. However in Greek, compound adjectives with τύπος end on -τύπος (see Liddell & Scott). A limited number of these adjectives has been used in Latin as loan word, with the similar ending -typus (see Lewis & Short) , e.g. archetypus, prototypus, ectypus, zelotypus (?), atypus (?). Only typicus in Latin ends on -typicus. Is anyone in favor of renaming this categoria to genera monotypa? Thank you for your response.

- I was hoping Iacobus would reply, but maybe he's taking a break from disputationes. He created this and similar categories, and will certainly have a view. My view is that you're probably right, Wimpus. I can't find many occurrences of this word, but "monotypa" occurs more often than "monotypica" even as a species name, so it is approved by writers of botanical/zoological Latin. If no one else comments, we should probably move. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 19:01, 30 Septembris 2013 (UTC)
- Dear Andrew, thank you for your response. Should I make a request in this case? With kind regards, Wimpus (disputatio) 15:27, 2 Octobris 2013 (UTC)
- Go ahead, Wimpus. You will see that there are in total 15 category names using this term (if I counted correctly). You will need to list them all at Vicipaedia:Automata/Category move requests, with the new names alongside. While doing this, please consider the word order, which varies -- whether this is a good or bad thing I'm uncertain -- I am sure you can decide the best phraseology.

- Dear Andrew, thanks. Thank you for sorting out the number of monotypus-related categoriae. In Neolatin, there seems to be a preference to use the paradigm noun-adjective (e.g. in binary nomenclature, in anatomy) when these Latin expressions are used within non-Latin texts, while in classical Latin word order seems less strict, I'll try to construct something that seems consistent.

- Dear Andrew, and there are even more monotypus-related categoriae as it is not only an adjective accompanying the noun genera, but also familiae, subfamiliae, superfamiliae, ordines and tribus. Before requesting a mass movement, lets wait and see what the discussion with IacobusAmor will bring (as you already noticed), with kind regards, Wimpus (disputatio) 11:43, 3 Octobris 2013 (UTC)
- That's a good idea, Wimpus. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 13:28, 3 Octobris 2013 (UTC)
