[edit] Article Naming and Redirects?
I'm only an amateur in the study of Dumezil, but my experiences with him in general and this theory in particular have led me to use the term tripartite instead of trifunctional. The English translation of Wouter Belier's critique of the theory is entitled "Decayed Gods: Origin and Development of Georges Dumezil's 'Ideologie Tripartie'", which seems to adapt Dumezil's own term for his hypothesis (I say this without being able to read Dumezil in the original French and thus not properly knowing if this is true). If that's the case, it would seem appropriate to me to include at least a redirect to this page for "Tripartite Hypothesis" and/or "Tripartite Ideology" (ultimately, I am unconcerned with whether one of those or both are better names than the one at hand, only that those who use the other terms are able to as easily locate this article as those who use "Trifunctional Hypothesis". 204.52.215.69 (talk) 09:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
