have to do with a bona fide user. Everybody after two hours of Latin understands that such a sentence Decor quod Bestia est a Disney fabula super a vomica vir quisnam can tantum procedo of suus vomica insquequo is perce... has nothing to do with the Latin language. The same is true for the other three pages (serrae, CSI et Anaticula cumminosa): --Massimo Macconi 19:17, 9 Novembris 2007 (UTC)

As I said at Disputatio:Pulchra puella et bestia (pellicula), I think your conclusion is wrong, Massimo. These are real users. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 20:40, 9 Novembris 2007 (UTC)

Does this page really need a delenda? The latinity doesn't look so bad. Nice page to have too. Harrissimo.

progenies

progenies is 'race' in the sense of 'lineage, family'. A 'race' that people run is perhaps a curriculum. 67.174.182.149 19:45, 18 Decembris 2007 (UTC)

I have found (C/G)umminos- in Words, which says it is from Pliny. There ae also several German & English lexicons which recommend it. Cummineus and Gummineus are found in higher numbers but are pretty much all about somebody called Cummineus Albus - virtually nothing from authors or dictionaries. Normal google yields absolutely nothing except about the Ursi and Ursae. I think that gumminosus is backed up the best. Harrissimo 13:54, 22 Decembris 2007 (UTC).

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary's etymology of gum takes the word back to Latin cummi and gummi, from Greek kommi, reflecting Egyptian qmy.t. Maybe Iustinus can tell us what Egyptian q typically becomes in Latin. IacobusAmor 14:14, 22 Decembris 2007 (UTC)
