Category talk:Spanish pelotaris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Pelotaris?
In my opinion the name of this category should be Spanish pilotaris instead of pelotaris.
The word pilotari comes from Basque language and means person who plays pilota (for ball). Since in Catalan ball is also called pilota in recent times the Basque word pilotari has been adopted for those who professionally play (see Valencian pilotaris).
In Spanish, pilotari has been changed to pelotari because ball is said pelota, but the ending -ari means nothing at all.
So, the current title of this article (Spanish pelotaris) comes from the Spanish variant. But, in order to respect original Basque word and the Catalan word, pilotari, I'd ask to rename this category (Spanish pilotaris).
