Linea 9:
::But... but... Hall was writing in '''English''', and Δεῖμος is a classical name. Surely we would expect the classical pattern to hold here. --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 17:54, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, OK. Not so simple. But if the classical pattern holds, we shouldn't have Dimos, should we? The -os is quite non-standard. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 19:01, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)
::::I believe that when a Britton says "quite" it's not as strong as when an American says it. I would say that when latinizing greek second declension masculines either ''-os'' or ''-us'' are acceptable, and in many cases they are even freely interchangeable. I opted for Dimos rather that Dimus simply because I worried taht the proper contraction of the ''ei'' to ''i'' might make it hard for modern minds to recognize the name, so I wanted to keep the rest unchanged. But I am not married to that. --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 20:00, 16 Maii 2007 (UTC)
