Linea 1 774:
I was pleased to see that you noticed [[Gododinium]]. I had hoped you would, as you know a good deal more about this sort of thing than I do. Any idea if [[:en:North Yorkshire]] has a Latin name, beyond the literal and Classicizing "Comitatus Eboracensis Septentrionalis" (as I speculated iside the <!-- --> brackets?) --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 21:06, 13 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)
:I'd advise you use ''Comitatus Eboracensis Septentrionalis'', cumbersome as it is. I would have recommended ''Isuria Septentrionalis'', but the [http://comp.uark.edu/~mreynold/recint2.htm source we got ''Isuria'' (meaning Yorkshire) from] has previously been proven unreliable. <font face="Courier New" size="4">[[Disputatio Usoris:Harrissimo|Harrissimo]]</font> 21:17, 13 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC).
== List of Arabic star names ==
Hi Andrew, no I hadn't noticed those lists. They may come in handy when filling in the list. For the moment I simply created the list to save 'my' [[Nomina Latina e lingua Arabica mutuata]] from becoming crammed with star names. The roughly corresponding English page [[:en:List of Arabic loanwords in English|List of Arabic loanwords in English]] has done the same. I am hoping that star afficionados among us will follow up my example and complete the list. --[[Usor:Fabullus|Fabullus]] 18:22, 15 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)
