Linea 214:
In all these arguments about names, there is one really good reason we must reject Foederatae Civitates Americae. It would imply that the South won. Just as I wouldn't call the Confederacy the Union and vice versa, we shouldn't in Latin call Foederatae or Confoederatae what are Unitae. --[[Usor:Jasonc65|Jasonc65]] 10:57, 1 Iunii 2007 (UTC)
:For "confederacy" we have ''confoederatae'', for "united" or "federated" ''foederatae''. --[[Usor:Alex1011|Alex1011]] 11:04, 1 Iunii 2007 (UTC)
::Not only is ''unio, unire'' a pretty uncommon verb, it doesn't mean "united" the way you want it to mean. ''Foederatus'' is a much more common word, and it means exactly what "united" means in this context. Remember, we get our information from much better Latinists than ourselves. We try not to make this stuff up. =] --[[Usor:Ioshus Rocchius|Ioshus]] <small><sup>[[Disputatio Usoris:Ioshus Rocchius|(disp)]]</sup></small> 12:41, 1 Iunii 2007 (UTC)
