Linea 2:
:Good question. Since ''oo'' in Latin can only be treated as two vowels (unlike ''oe'', which can either be a diphthong or two separate vowels) I don't see any reason to put a diaeresis on it. But others might disagree ... <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 18:15, 27 Maii 2008 (UTC)
::There is an unpublished rule on diaereses ([[Disputatio Vicipaediae:De orthographia#Diaereses]]) which is that we should use them. So if we do accept UV's argument about the Gadgets changing poesis to ''pœsis'' when ''ligaturae monstrantur'', as well the argument that ''aeris/aëris'' need distinguishing, do we need to keep consistency in this case? Should that rule be published? <font face="Courier New" size="4">[[Disputatio Usoris:Harrissimo|Harrissimo]]</font> 18:24, 27 Maii 2008 (UTC).
:::I'm happy with the rule; I'm just not sure whether, in Latin, a diaeresis is necessary on ''oo''. In English it is necessary, I guess, because otherwise he comes out as Laocoon to rhyme with Sailor Moon. But in Latin there's no other way to pronounce ''oo'': it has to be two separate vowels.
:::But I don't mind: if others prefer a diaeresis, fine. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 19:58, 27 Maii 2008 (UTC)
