Quantum redactiones paginae "Disputatio:Gastropoda" differant

==Singular of ''-poda'' words==

I claimed in the article that the singular of ''gastropoda'' should be ''gastropus''. Alas, I am not so clear on this, now that I think about it. Greek adjectives in -πους -ποδος normally form their neuter in, of all things, -πουν. Therefore, the expected singular of γαστρόποδα would be γαστρόπουν. This in turn would be expected to yield Latin '''gastropun''' ''gastropodis, n.'' That's just freakin' absurd! So I looked for Latin -pūs words to see how they declined, and it looks like not a single one is attested in the neuter (so far as I can tell using only the online L&S at any rate). It seems logical to assume that they would be treated as one-termination adjectives, yielding the ''gastropus'' I used in the article, but I just wish I could find a darn attestation! --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 03:18, 7 Septembris 2006 (UTC)
