There are no common accents in Latin. The word in question should correctly be spelled Renovare, without an accent. Actually it is just pronounced /rɛ.nɔ.va.rɛ/.

I think this should be settled.

"Renovaré" is of course the spelling promoted by the organization itself (see www.renovare.org). They don't claim it is Latin, but rather that it is "from the Latin". I think it's fair to recognize the name as a promotional construct along the lines of "Mötley Crüe" — the accent mark serves a purpose other than to guide pronunciation. In any case, it's their name, we should follow the spelling they use. Think Toys R Us or the Apple marketing campaign Think Different — it would be incorrect to convert these to "Toys Are Us" or "Think Differently" even as we recognize spelling and grammer inconsistencies. technopilgrim 02:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
