Linea 38:
==Chicago River==
On the main page of the article I've put up some river names. I don't own a copy of Egger to help me out on this, so I kind of had to guess on Chicago River: [[Sicagonis Fluvius]], or would Sicagonensis Fluvius be better? Same goes for the Rock River. I put [[Petrus Fluvius]] (after all, who wouldn't want to share a name with a river?). I'm open to better suggestions, but if I don't hear anything, I'll put together a short article on both on Monday or Tuesday. --[[Usor:Sinister Petrus|Sinister Petrus]] 03:56 oct 14, 2005 (UTC)
:This is a little tricky. First of all, Egger, as I have mentioned elsewhere, seems to have left out Chicago, which is utterly bizarre. Second of all, this whole thing is complicated by the fact that there are several Latinizations of "Chicago" out there. You and I may prefer ''Sicagum -i'' but not everyone does, and we can't ignore that (note especially the official seal of the University of Chicago). Most of the time when there is a river that has the same name as a city or state, Egger will just use the same name in the masculine, but I think it would look terrible to say ''Sicagus fluvius''. This is why I suggested "''Chicagoensis Fluvius''." Other forms of the adjective include ''Chicaginiensis'' and ''Chicagensis'', but ''*Sicagoensis'' is right out: it should be ''Sicaganus'' or ''Sicagensis''. For reasons I can't quite explain I'd rather use one of the ''Ch-'' forms for the river, but that's just my opinion. --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 17:09 oct 14, 2005 (UTC)
