Linea 33:
::I don't think it works, Donatello :) Latin (unlike Greek and German) isn't a language in which speakers make up compounds as they choose. That's why pottery is not *"fictopus" but "[[opus fictile]]". But I think you may have chosen the right words to start from! It seems to me software really could be "opus molle" and hardware could be "opus durum". <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 08:23, 3 Iunii 2013 (UTC)
::merx should be used for 'ware' . 'mollimerx'? 'durimerx'(hardware)?[[Usor:Jondel|Jondel]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Jondel|disputatio]]) 09:16, 3 Iunii 2013 (UTC)
:::It's a bit of a puzzle with this English term. Originally "ware" was certainly "a range of goods on sale", as Jondel suggests with ''merx''. In modern computer terminology I think it's more "a category of structure", for which ''opus'', as Donatello suggested, might be OK (I think). But I could be all wrong -- happy to defer to those who know better.
:::All I really want to say is, please, no invented compounds -- ''mollimerx'' and ''mollopus'' are amazing words, but they'll never be Latin words, believe me :) <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 11:48, 3 Iunii 2013 (UTC)
