Linea 26:
Iustinus, since you own Egger (and I don't), would you be so good as to provide how he inidcates the Mississippi River? I've been wanting to write a bit about it, and haven't been able to find anything naming it. ''Flumen Mississippianum'' strikes me as right, since I think I want a neuter for Mississippi (I think). I'm not feeling super confident on this though.--[[Usor:Sinister Petrus|Sinister Petrus]] 22:17 oct 11, 2005 (UTC)
:''Flumen Mississippianum'' would in fact be suitable for poetic language, but actually names of rivers are typically masculine, the understood woord being, I suppose, not ''flumen'' but ''fluvius''. Here's what Egger says:
'''Missisippi''' (flumen)
Missisipius, i, m.; cfr Missisippi (Civitas).
:... consistantly spelling it with only 3 esses. Oh well. The Mississippi is such a famous and important river that we can probably dredge up numerous references to it in Latin. [[:En:Mississippi River#History]] is especially interesting.
:Also, now thanks to you I have Paula Cole's ''Mississippi'' stuck in my head :P --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 22:26 oct 11, 2005 (UTC)
