Talk:Chlamydiaceae

-ίδιον should be created also, not here of course
-idion is an ancient greek suffix, also used in english medical terms


 * Nope. According to the rules by which taxonomic names are formed, family names are derived in Latin from the name of the type genus (in this case, Chlamydia) + the customary suffix denoting a family. For plants, that's -aceae. As for Chlamydia, it's derived from Ancient Greek, which is, indeed, derived from and the Ancient Greek diminutive suffix . As usual, you've taken a couple of genuine facts, glossed over a whole lot of missing details, and jumbled it all together with some bad guesses to come up with something that's simply wrong.
