| | ** If this is strictly "medical Latin", then it's not Latin at all. We treat medical Latin and legal Latin as English unless they existed outside of the modern fields. Such terms are often borrowed from Latin elements, but assembled in some other langauge to create a new word. In the case of legal Latin, phrases from legal documents written in Latin often have taken on a new, fixed meaning in English. So if this is strictly medical Latin, then is either English or else is Translingual, and may not even be a word in its own right (like "Lanka" in English "Sri Lanka"). If it is a Latin word, then it's New Latin, and it is apparently formed from Greek roots. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 20:02, 31 July 2012 (UTC) | | ** If this is strictly "medical Latin", then it's not Latin at all.

| | + | *If you're referring to the article "cat," I'm not sure what you mean by obliterate. If anything, I added ''more'' phonetic pronunciations, but I didn't realize I was only supposed to stick to the phonemic not the phonetic. Sorry about that. On another note, on the page "cat," what exactly is meant by the transcription "[kʲæʔ]" (which clearly ''is'' phonemic)? Is "[kʰæʔ]" what is perhaps meant? And shouldn't ''this'' be obliterated since it is not a phonemic transcription? [[User:Wolfdog|Wolfdog]] ([[User talk:Wolfdog|talk]]) 22:18, 2 August 2012 (UTC) |
