:''Gentis'' & ''populi'' are so specific that they miss part of the definition, and the reason ''generis'' is so general is that it has to include concepts "populi, gentis, religionis, vel civitatis." The sense of ''genus'' is perhaps the sense of 'kind' in English in a famous song in ''West Side Story,'' where a character is advised to "stick to your own kind." Again, the sense of ''populi occisio'' ("id est populi occisionem," and why accusative?) restricts genocide to politics (Cassell's, 'populus' = "''a people, as forming a political community, a nation''"), omitting, for example, religious motives. Maybe ''genocidium,'' as an obvious back-formation, is best after all. [[Usor:IacobusAmor|IacobusAmor]] 12:56, 8 Aprilis 2010 (UTC)
::If Latin sources for a term denoting 'genocide' do not exist (which seems to be the general assumption here) we cannot but translate the ''meaning'' of the word into Latin. Now, using a back-formation like 'genocidium' could be argued to be in violation of the 'Noli fingere' rule more convincingly than translating 'genocide', for instance, as 'exstinctio nationis' or 'gentis'.--[[SpecialisUsor:Conlationes/79.192.12.196Ceylon|79.192.12.196Ceylon]] 19:5859, 8 Aprilis 2010 (UTC)
