[edit] Pomoerium

This appears to be a dictionary entry. Suggest Transwiki to the Wiktionary. Snorgenhorpher 06:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Transwikify per nom. Its resource is a dictionary... Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:29, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • By all means copy it to the Wiktionary but deleting it here seems a little officious and it would withdraw the implicit invitation to develop the encyclopaedic aspects of the subject. With a relatively obscure topic like this, we may need to wait some time for that invitation to be taken up. (RJP 10:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC))
  • Redirect to Pomerium. rodii 13:18, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep According to the OED pomerium is an obsolete form of pomoerium so the former should become the redirect. It looks as though the former is mainly about a specific pomoerium though - that of Rome. Dlyons493 Talk 13:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Rodii. I think that pomerium is the usual English spelling. There's also an early music ensemble called Pomerium. Smerdis of Tlön 15:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I think the Oxford English Dictionary should be taken as authoritative on which version should be the redirect. Dlyons493 Talk 13:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: in Classical Latin, pomerium is the usual form, and the one that occurs in White's and the Oxford Latin Dictionary. [1]; pomoerium is an archaic suggestion from Varro. Smerdis of Tlön 19:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki per Zordrac. Stifle 00:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
