→Disputatio:Hominideae: was meant to be ironical |
|||
Linea 409:
:::According to my page search, the word ''hominideae'' doesn't occur on the page [[:en:Ape]]. I can't find any mention of ''Romans'' on that page, either. Maybe you'd better check again, Rolande! <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 11:37, 9 Septembris 2008 (UTC)
::::This was meant to be ironical, because when I wrote this, there was an interwiki link to [[:la:Hominideae]]. There is (and was) no explicit information on that page. Now [[:en:Ape]] is linked to [[:la:Hominoidea]]. Btw, there is also a German word [[:de:Menschenaffe]] which is linked to [[:la:Hominidae]] ... --[[Usor:Rolandus|Rolandus]] 08:55, 10 Septembris 2008 (UTC)
:::::Yes, the English equivalent for [[:de:Menschenaffe]] and our [[Hominidae]] is [[:en:Great ape]]. No problem there, so far as I can see. I didn't catch the irony, I'm afraid! <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 14:41, 10 Septembris 2008 (UTC)
:For reference, here are some pertinent definitions in Merriam-Webster, a dictionary widely used in the United States:
::'''ape,''' monkey: ''esp'': one of the larger tailless or short-tailed Old World forms; any of a family (Pongidae) of large tailless semierect primates (as the chimpanzees, gorilla, orangutan, or gibbon)—called also ''anthropoid, anthropoid ape''
