Quantum redactiones paginae "Disputatio:Canalis" differant

== Canalis non fossa ==

The word ''fossa'' is too general, as Rafael said above. ''Canalis'' is not only the form used in all modern languages, but is quite reasonable in Latin as well. I tried the Google test and found all hits for both to be medical; in that context it seems ''fossa'' practically means ''cauum'' and ''canalis'' means specifically a passage for conveying something, which is what we want. I have also heard ''fossa'' in geology used to name a ditch of some sort; but that is a natural feature and it seems better to distinguish the artificial, narrow construction with a different word as English does.
