RFM discussion: February 2019–March 2021
This contains terms, but in what language? And what's a specific epithet? —Rua (mew) 13:34, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Some are for Latin entries; others Translingual. We've never had consensus. MWOnline would probably put then is "International Scientific Vocabulary". DCDuring (talk) 15:40, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, but what language are they for our purposes? Translingual? —Rua (mew) 18:48, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * As I said, some are condemned to be "Translingual" by our Latin contributors to preserve the purity of their domain. Some are Latin because they are identical to Latin words. Some may be from other languages altogether, in some cases "from a native Caribbean language", not identified and probably not identifiable. But they all function as specific epithets.
