== [[Planeta]] ==
I want to explain what I did there. We need to simplify our first sentences where we can, so it is not a good thing to add more alternative terms to first sentences if those alternatives are rarely used and not recommended to readers. That seems to be the case with the variants planetesplanetis nom.sg., planes nom.sg., planetis gen.sg., planetes nom.pl. They are so rare, I think, that dictionaries disagree about parsing them!
 
If we want to cite these forms (which is fine) it is best either to put them in footnotes, or to have a section of the article headed "nomina" or "etymologia" and to put them there.

:Addendum: Looking at the ''Oxford Latin Dictionary'' I now think that "planes" nom.sg. is a tentative extrapolation, by modern lexicographers, from Gellius's "planetes" nom.pl. No one really uses the singular form, and only Gellius knows whether it existed in his internal grammar. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 12:58, 3 Augusti 2014 (UTC)
